The 2023 Oscars celebrated the year’s best performances on film, but the red carpet beforehand saw actors deliver their very best fashion performances—concluding a thrilling awards season with their best ensembles.

The leading men of the night, meanwhile, experimented with suiting in subtle ways. It was an experiment in less is more dressing: Austin Butler chose a sleek black Saint Laurent tuxedo, but spiced things up with the help of patent boots with a slight heel—a more modern version of a dress shoe. Swedish composer Ludwig Goransson also rebuked a simple suit in favor of an embroidered Bode style, featuring a pretty pink floral design as trim. Just enough visual interest to make it stand out.

Almost all the men have beards. The ones that don’t don’t look as good.
Totally agree 😉
