Who: Donald Glover

Where: Met Gala 2017, NYC

From Childish Gambino to all grown up, Donald Glover cut a mature figure at this year’s Met Gala. The rapper-turned-actor subbed the traditional dinner jacket for a printed counterpart, but he toned down the statement with classic separates elsewhere. How very adult.

Who: Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Where: The Wall Premiere, NYC

A bit of Tom Ford must have rubbed off on Aaron Taylor-Johnson while filming Nocturnal Animals because these days the actor is equally as dapper. No Avengers-worthy spandex, no Godzilla army scrubs – just an expertly fitted black suit, sockless loafers and snake motif tie (via Ford’s old gig, Gucci, no less). You’ve taught him well, Tom.

Who: Alexander And Bill Skarsgård

Where: NYC

Brothers-in-arms Alexander and Bill Skarsgård went AWOL with the military threads on a recent trip out in New York, combining boot camp colours with contemporary cuts. Add to that some surefire shades, and the sibling duo are gunning for a medal of honour.

Who: Ryan Reynolds

Where: Time 100 Gala, NYC

For a break from tradition, make like Ryan Reynolds in blue for a black tie event. Mr Deadpool appeared at the Time 100 Gala in a strong stand-in for the usual clobber, letting a deep, modern shade provide a high-impact look worth 100 Time covers and more.

Who: Riz Ahmed

Where: Time 100 Gala, NYC

Most old-school style rules are also old hat. Just take ‘never mix brown and black’, which Riz Ahmed flat-out ignored at the Time 100 Gala. By pairing a monochrome shirt with a light tan suit, the Rogue One star used contrast as the centrepiece of his look with little need for a tie.

Who: Ben Barnes

Where: Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo Party, NYC

Seems Prince Caspian has finally succumbed to the White Witch’s spell. At the recent Salvatore Ferragamo bash in New York, actor Ben Barnes nailed a tricky all-white look by swerving excess details or accessories. Throw in a pair of a staple black Oxfords, and it’s clear the Brit boasts one lion of a wardrobe.
