In which our ability to say something different about each of an endless array (minus one notable exception) of classic men’s formalwear is tested to the limit.
Alfie Allen in Ermenegildo Zegna XXX
Low-key classic, perfectly rendered.
Antonio Banderas in Dior Homme
Love the brooch. A subtle grace note of a touch that lends the look a little something.
Brad Pitt in Dior Homme
We’re not fans of shawl collars and we think both his shirtsleeves and the cut of the jacket are a bit too large on him, but we like the velvet.
Dean-Charles Chapman in Celine
Love the shoes and corsage boutonniere. Maybe the latter is a little prom, but he’s essentially prom date-aged, so it works.
Elton John and Bernie Taupin
Bernie looks great, but we’re going to blaspheme here and suggest that Elton’s jacket looks a little cheap and the kicks look geriatric.
George MacKay in Dunhill
He’s so well-suited to the double-breasted cut that we didn’t even notice it at first.
Joaquin Phoenix in Stella McCartney
He’s doing his best.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Giorgio Armani
He’s doing his usual. Not that we have any issue with it.
Rami Malek in Saint Laurent
He’s one of the few men who can pull of an all-black tux, as far as we’re concerned. Love the wide lapels and the slim cut of the pants, which give it some modernity. Jacket’s a bit boxy, though.
Taika Waititi in Brioni
Hands down the most stylish director of the night.
