Who: Adam Scott
Where: Big Little Lies Premiere, LA
Talk about a rebrand. Adam Scott made his name as the dour Ben Wyatt in the US sitcom Parks and Recreation. Off-screen it’s a different story: out go bland two-pieces and in comes monochrome separates that look just at home on Savile Row as on the red carpet. We’ll even let the Ron Swanson ‘tache slide.
Who: Kayne West
Where: New York City
Presumably feeling a little guilty after his Trump Tower meeting, this week Kanye went with a Democrat blue. The oversized cut of his sherpa jacket adds a statement edge to a classic piece, while a textured knit and tapered joggers balance out the smart-casual vibes.
Who: Shaun White
Where: Elle New York Fashion Week Party, NYC
Olympic gold medal snowboarder Sean White swapped snowy slopes for more leafy surroundings at the Elle New York Fashion Week Party. As part of the transformation, he also dropped the #rad clobber for a masterclass in monochrome dressing. Still a podium finish.
Who: Zayn Malik
Where: Billboard Power 100 Party, LA
From 50 Shades Of Grey to one of the Boys In Blue. Yorkshire boy Zayn went full Yankee Doodle at the Billboard Power 100 Party with a workwear essential trucker jacket. Continuing the rugged vibes, Swift’s singing partner added in dark denim jeans and sturdy boots. Shame he couldn’t quite undo those wrist ties.
Who: Big Sean
Where: Official Grammys Afterparty, LA
At five-foot-six, rapper Big Sean is one-half of Hollywood’s littlest couple. Nonetheless, that doesn’t stop him hitting a high in the style steaks with a tricolour of earthy tones that prove good things can indeed come in small packages.
Who: Chris Paul
Where: Roc Nation Pre-Grammy Brunch, LA
While he might not be on the court, this look from NBA icon Chris Paul is still a slam dunk. At the Roc Nation Pre-Grammy Brunch, the Clippers point guard pulled a simple two-piece into three-pointer territory with a floral shirt and white sneakers. We’d be grinning too.
Who: David Beckham
Where: NYC
Few men enjoy a runway moment on the school run. However, with a wardrobe like David Beckham’s, every inane task is a photo op. Goldenballs is the talk of the school gates in this sharp leather jacket and statement scarf, tied together with a neutral colour palette. If he wasn’t already, that is.
Who: Nick Jonas
Where: Roc Nation Pre-Grammy Brunch, LA
Nick Jonas doesn’t exactly boast a Grammy-worthy back catalogue, but he would qualify for the red carpet shortlist. The junior Jonas ditched Camp Rock clobber for a more sophisticated look, with a track jacket adding a sportswear touch to on-trend checked trousers.
Who: Johannes Huebl
Where: Moncler Grenoble Collection, New York
On paper, a track jacket with shirt, tie and blazer sounds more muddled than Brangelina’s divorce proceedings. However Johannes Huebel makes sense of it thanks to an overarching navy colour theme and a sleek fit.
Who: Riz Ahmed
Where: Elle Style Awards 2017, London
It’s not every day we get to wear cosmic-cum-botanical tailoring. That said, should the opportunity arise, we’ll let British actor Riz Ahmed guide the way. A flattering fit for his narrow frame, the patterned suit neither swamps nor suffocates, while simple shoes and tonal shirt dial down on the statement for a look of astronomical proportions.
