Who: Matt Bomer
Where: The Last Tycoon Premiere Afterparty, Los Angeles
Bomer alert. Once again, the man who made White Collar makes a simple suit look a million dollars. This time, by swapping novelty for a razor-sharp fit with all the right accessories – knitted tie, pale blue shirt and a tonal flex throughout.
Who: John Legend
Where: New York
We’re not sure why John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are standing like choir boys at mass. But there is something great about a monochrome look made memorable with a knitted polo, tucked in for a cleaner edge. Probably the best Sunday best we’ve seen.
Who: Johannes Huebl
Where: Steve Madden x GQ Party, New York
Only Johannes Huebl can make magazine flicking an art form. Although oh-so-casually loitering and not at all playing up to the photographers, the 39-year-old does demands attention in a standout look – a series of staples married by a neutral palette, with a perfectly-deployed colour pop to the socks.
Who: Corey Cott
Where: The Sinner Premiere, New York
Broadway stars aren’t all jazz hands and sequins. Okay, so they might be pretty jazz hands, but that didn’t stop Bandstand star Corey Cott scoring a high note with a Mayfair-ready look. The grey tones throughout are a solid, safe move, while a faint windowpane check adds depth to what could have been a forgettable look. Your name’ll be in lights, kid.
Who: Algee Smith
Where: Detroit Premiere, Detroit
Cinema’s most promising newcomer Algee Smith also has a wardrobe to match. At the Detroit premiere, the 22-year-old wasn’t content in co-star John Boyega’s shadow, using a statement shirt to lift a staple two-piece and anchoring with a muted navy shade. Somebody get this man a Tom Ford contract.
Who: Wilmer Valderrama
Where: TCA Summer Press Tour, Los Angeles
Wilmer Valderrama is a testament to the phrase ‘slow burn’. Despite humble beginnings on That 70s Show, as his CV developed, so too has his style, ditching period bellbottoms for a blackout look that flatters and fits in all the right places.
Who: Seth Rogen
Where: TCA Summer Press Tour, Los Angeles
No, that isn’t a typo – you are looking at Seth Rogen. Gone are the stained tees, the Annie curls and the stoner checks, leaving a Hollywood look that’s simple but sharp. The olive green jacket is a quiet way to inject colour, best anchored by staples elsewhere for a foolproof look.
Who: Scott Disick
Where: New York City
Everyone’s favourite Kardashian-in-exile has recently been spotted with Kim K, but no amount of camo will hide Scott Disick from the vult- sorry, the paparazzi. By sticking to a base palette of earth colours – as opposed to Siberian oranges, shudder – Kourtney’s former flame can pare down the statement with any wardrobe staple on the hanger.
