Who: Jon Kortajarena
Where: 25th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party, LA
Really, Jon Kortajarena should be barred from Best Dressed lists on account of making the rest of us look like trolls. But credit where credit’s due – the man fills out a dinner suit like no other. Combine an otherworldly jawline with a fit that skims an Adonis body, add contrast silk lapels and a modern update of the dress shoe, and you’re well into the supermodel zone. Sigh.
Who: Zayn Malik
Where: Tommy Hilfiger Dinner, Paris Fashion Week
We might not all be on first name terms with Tommy Hilfiger (or have a girlfriend like Gigi Hadid, come to think of it), but that shouldn’t stop us emulating Zayn’s ode to sportswear. If you’re not sold on the athleisure trend, keep it casual – the colour-block zipped sweater adds both statement and bulk up top, with classic staples anchoring the look below.
Who: Miles Teller
Where: GBK Pre-Oscar Luxury Lounge, LA
Star of boxing epic Bleed For This, Miles Teller is a knockout off-screen too. The actor delivers a blow-by-blow masterclass on the blue two-piece, with a wearable yet bold shade and a crosshatch texture for added depth. And the heavyweight tailoring title belt goes to…
Who: Justin Theroux
Where: JFK Airport, New York
He might not have scooped a gong for Girl On The Train, but Theroux wins the prize for Man In The Airport. The rocker’s staple – the leather jacket – is steered to age appropriateness with classic wardrobe staples elsewhere, resulting in a solid look that swerves midlife crisis territory.
Who: Nick Jonas
Where: LAX Airport, LA
Not to be outdone by any East Coast counterpart, the celebrity airport of choice – LAX – sees Nick Jonas take off in an all-black look. Instead of playing it safe with head-to-toe monochrome, Nick adds a flash of colour and some A-list specs to guarantee an upgrade.
Who: Shameik Moore
Where: Vanity Fair Oscars Party, LA
Leave black tie to the bores, or so says The Get Down’s Shameik Moore. Here, the 21-year-old eschews traditionalism in favour of a Kanye-worthy overcoat and a thin chain to hit just the right amount of bling. What else can you expect from the man behind Shaolin Fantastic?
Who: Jamie Dornan
Where: Vanity Fair Oscars Party, LA
Jamie Dornan is more likely to score a porn parody than an Oscar off the back of Fifty Shades, but that didn’t stop him from dressing like a winner. An off-white dinner jacket is a welcome alternative to black, with extra points scored for the on-trend oversized lapels. And thankfully, not a ballgag in sight.
Who: David Oyelowo
Where: 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards, LA
Fresh from the award-show cycle, A United Kingdom star David Oyelowo flies the flag once more in a royal blue two-piece. The yellow polka-dot tie adds some zest to the overall colour palette, while a choice pocket square provides a pop of print. Rule, Britannia.
