The Oscars tend to be the most conformist of all the entertainment awards shows, so don’t expect a lot of incisive commentary about the fiftieth standard tuxedo of the night. Men rarely get it wrong at the Oscars, largely because they stick to the dress code, which is an argument in favor of dress codes. People do better with fashion when you place some guardrails up for them. There wasn’t much of a color trend this year. Standard black seems to be the current go-to and a lot of guys turned to diamond brooches to jazz up their looks. Alright boys, line up for judgment.
Adrien Brody in Gucci
A strangely boxy cut and the brooch is oversized.
Benicio del Toro in Giorgio Armani
Perfectly fine.
Channing Tatum in Versace
Love those big-ass lapels for him. The jacket looks a little bulky, almost like outerwear.
Chris Evans in Giorgio Armani
Now who can argue with that?
Damson Idris in Prada
Love the idea of the coat, but we think, given the luxurious lapels, it would look more formal and elegant in a matte black.
Ethan Hawke in Prada
He looks like he’s about to filibuster in support of abolition and that isn’t a bad style direction for him at all. Love the gray of the shirt.
Jacob Elordi in Bottega Veneta
We can’t say we love the length of that jacket, which is coming pretty close to a coat, but he looks very elegant.
Joe Alwyn in Valentino
HATE the tie. The brooch is nice. The rakish hair doesn’t suit him.
Joel Edgerton in Louis Vuitton
We’ve been very supportive of the guybrooch trend, but this represents its natural endpoint: guys just slapping them on any mediocre formalwear look in order to jazz it up. We’re surprised, because his red carpet style tends to be more thoughtful and expressive.
Kieran Culkin in Paul Smith
The color of the jacket is great, but the blacks do nothing for it. The watch is gorgeous.
Kumail Nanjiani in Giorgio Armani
Can’t argue with that either. He looks great. If gray formal dress shirts become the next tuxedo trend, we won’t be annoyed.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Dior Homme
A simple, classic look in his typically unshowy style. The mustache looks surprisingly great on him.
Lewis Pullman in Saint Laurent
We love how expressive he can be with his style choices, but we really don’t think an ascot works with such a businesslike tie and dress shirt. The outfit’s trying to do too much.
Manu Ríos in Saint Laurent
He looks lovely, but underdressed and his cuffing situation baffles us.
Mason Thames in Saint Laurent
Looks great except for the post-gym hair.
Miles Caton in Amiri
Love the color but we’d have appreciated some contrast.
Paul Mescal in Celine
He looks very dapper and we love the old-timey jacket, but the tie looks dumb and the hair is too messy.
Shaboozey in Campillo
Always brings it. Never fails to be both impeccable and distinct.
Wagner Moura in Zegna
It’s a very elegant look, but it feels like it’s just hanging on him.
