Menswear Style Tips from 24 Best Dressed at Film Awards 2023

What can we learn about men’s style from this year’s Hollywood awards shows? Specifically, the men’s fashion at the Oscars, the BAFTAs, and the rest? Our ace correspondent has curated a list of menswear style tips and men’s best dressed fashion winners for the male celebrities on the red carpet at the Oscars, BAFTAs, SAG and other film awards in 2023. Spoiler alert: Marcel the Shell slayed.

what menswear style tips can we glean from the red carpet at major film awards of 2023?

We’ve come to expect ultra-high levels of glitz and glamor from Hollywood’s biggest night and the 2023 Oscars didn’t disappoint. In this golden age of menswear, pretty much anything goes on the red (er, “champagne”) carpet, but the biggest fits last night were mostly perfectly executed takes on classic formal tuxes. There were some notable, excellent swerves (looking at you Questlove) and hits of color (ahem, Dwayne Johnson) as well as a bevy of brooches. No surprise that sharp tailoring won the night along with Everything, Everywhere All At Once, and we saw all manners of DBs, proper dinner jackets and welcomed what we can only hope is an era of beads and embroidery on guys. 

Everyone’s a winner here. Because these fit gods have been out campaigning and collecting statues for the last few months, we’re also including some very notable mentions from the other awards shows this season. 

The best dressed male celebrities from the 2023 Oscars red carpet

1. Paul Mescal in Gucci

Paul has been absolutely killing it at every awards show, playing with color and proportion. This Gucci—topped off with red silk rose—is the romantic finale we were hoping for.

2. Austin Butler in Saint Laurent

Elvis showing up razor sharp every damn time.

3. Questlove in Zegna

Questlove is unwavering in his commitment to robe-like, regal jackets and embellished crocs. 

4. Jay Ellis

Hollywood’s Next Great Leading Man is coming in hot with an encrusted beaded jacket.

5. Paul Dano in Dolce & Gabbana

Paul, we see you and your jazzy jacket.

6. Dwayne Johnson in Dolce & Gabbana

Mr. Rock’s stylist called this “ballet pink” because we all know he’s just a big softie. And we told you that power pastels were going to be trending in menswear this spring.

7. Brendan Fraser in Giorgo Armani

Worthy of the Best Actor he is. 

8. Ke Huy Quan in Giorgio Armani

Ke Huy Quan! Our comeback king! I’m still misty-eyed from his acceptance speech. And maybe his perfect brooch a little, too.

9. Michael B. Jordan in Louis Vuitton

DB fits like a glove on Adonis, here. More high jewelry brooch game!

10. Seth Rogan in Brioni

Seth Rogan: actor, filmmaker, ceramicist and bowtie aficionado. He’s been navigating this awards season with consistently excellent looks.

11. Ludwig Goransson in Bode

The Swedish composer rocking a sweetly embellished Bode suit.

12. Brian Tyree Henry

Technically, Brian was a Best Supporting Actor nominee, but this is leading man stuff.
