The Best Dressed Men Of The Oscars
The Oscars has long been a night of glittering gongs and noteworthy get-ups. While The 89th edition might have been slightly overshadowed by the Academy’s biggest gaffe since Leo lost for Titanic, a few of the fellas on the red carpet still managed to keep our attention. So as Hollywood’s elite nurse their hangovers stateside, we’ve charted the golden boys of the evening – and we promise there are no mix-ups.
Andrew Garfield
Poor Andrew Garfield had to deal with losing out on Best Actor as well as watching his ex-girlfriend Emma Stone pick up Best Actress, so fair play to him for at least winning with this 101 masterclass in black tie. Modernising the traditional get-up, this look gains full marks for an immaculate fit, with extra credit for its contrasting pocket square, on-trend oversized lapels and slip-on patent dress shoes.
Dev Patel
Another Best Actor nominee, Dev Patel’s white dinner jacket is the ideal in-between for black tie. The colour provides a change of scenery from usual clobber, it sits comfortably within the dress code and the shade perfectly compliments darker skin tones. No wonder the Lion star is smiling despite being empty-handed.
Riz Ahmed
He might not have been nominated this year, but Riz Ahmed takes home the prize for most interesting look on the red carpet. Though the decision to give monochrome a miss is a risky one, a safe colour choice breaks the red carpet mould without raising eyebrows; plus it’s Ermenegildo Zegna, and you can’t go wrong with Zegna.
Jeff Bridges
Proving wisdom really does come with age, Best Supporting Actor nominee Jeff Bridges hits the age-appropriate mark without sacrificing any of his personal style. It’s all thanks to a classic three-piece: the jacket and trousers are classic anchors, while the waistcoat creates a powerful V at the chest for a flattering look. He’s definitely still got it.
