Person in tuxedo: light skin tone Emoji

People

A person wearing a black tuxedo jacket with a crisp white shirt and a black bow tie, rendered with a light skin tone. The figure represents someone dressed for a high-end social event or a formal occasion.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to discuss weddings, black-tie galas, prom nights, or any scenario involving professional service staff like waiters or hosts. It is often combined with 💍 to announce an engagement or 🥂 to celebrate a party or toast.

History

While the base tuxedo emoji was introduced in 2016 to bridge the gap in formal attire representation, the ability to modify the skin tone was added shortly after in the Unicode 9.0 update. This expansion was part of a larger initiative to make human-form emojis more inclusive of global user demographics.
