From Dior runways to Artful Dodgers, to Footballers, Fassbender and lots of flash photography; we unpick the threads of the world’s well-dressed.
Who: Ed Westwick
Where: Virgin TV BAFTA Television Awards, London
With new BBC series White Gold under his belt, Ed Westwick has finally broken the Gossip Girl curse. And it seems his wardrobe has had an upgrade too. In lieu of a Chuck Bass dandy three-piece, the actor cut a far slicker figure at the TV BAFTAs in a classic black suit that requires zero novelty or embellishment. XOXO.
Who: Aziz Ansari
Where: Master Of None Premiere, NYC
Jack of all trades, master of tailoring. At the premiere afterparty of his smash-hit show’s second season, actor-slash-comedian-slash-writer-slash-producer-slash-director Aziz Ansari lifted the classic blue suit with a tonal Oxford shirt and a collegiate-inspired striped tie.
Who: Charlie Hunnam
Where: King Arthur Screening, São Paulo
Despite his latest film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword being universally panned by critics, Sons Of Anarchy alumnus Charlie Hunnam still roared from Hell’s Angel to heaven sent at a recent screening in São Paulo. Dressed in a summer-ready lightweight suit, the actor received far better reviews for his fail-safe wardrobe choices.
Who: Dwayne Johnson
Where: Baywatch Premiere, Miami
As the famous Baywatch theme goes: ‘some people stand in the darkness, afraid to step into the light’. Some people, but not Dwayne Johnson. At the premiere of Hollywood’s cheesiest coastguard saga, The Rock swam to victory in straight-fit jeans, designer kicks and a short-sleeved shirt to provide a peek at the gun show.
Who: Harry Styles
Where: The Late Late Show, LA
Harry Styles’ solo wardrobe has had more than a hint of Mick Jagger so far. But during an appearance on The Late Late Show, the ex-Directioner switched his usual Rolling Stones look for something far sharper, donning a velvet two-piece in an almost-black shade of green.
Who: Big Sean
Where: Dior Cruise Collection Show, LA
Front-row seats at Dior require a statement of epic proportions; luckily Big Sean lived up to his moniker. The Detroit rapper opted for the tailoring move of the moment, with a printed jacket balanced out by classic red carpet staples (and complementing girlfriend) elsewhere. Tres fabuleux.
Who: Matt Smith
Where: Virgin TV BAFTA Television Awards, London
The Crown may have gone home empty-handed from the TV BAFTAs this week, but not even that can take away from Matt Smith’s real achievement of the night. The former Time Lord royally nailed black tie by sticking to the basics, placing smaller details like peak lapels and a pocket square centre stage. Bow down.
Who: Niall Horan
Where: 102.7 KISS FM’s 2017 Wango Tango, LA
As Harry Styles stepped into 2017, Niall Horan took a Dickensian step backwards with an outfit that’s more Smartful Dodger than Fagin’s vagrant. By pairing a flat cap with simpler pieces that are still on-theme, the Irishman pocketed a criminal look with an oom-pah-pah finish.
Who: Nick Jonas
Where: Dior Cruise Collection Show, LA
Few people could pull off a baseball cap at an event as flashy as a Dior show. Then again, few people are Nick Jonas. The singer kept his couture casual with a mix of on-trend pieces, letting a simple stripe add bulk up top and using black jeans to switch up the blue tones.
Who: Zac Efron
Where: Miami
Not counting the washboard abs (and the Hollywood salary, and the soul-crushingly handsome mug), Zac Efron’s poolside look is easy to steal. The Baywatch star used a block-colour T-shirt to tone down statement swim shorts, while a simple watch and chain sit on the right side of Miami bling. Take note.
Who: Eddie Redmayne
Where: 2017 Audi Polo Challenge, Ascot
Danish Girl one minute, British gent the next, Eddie Redmayne is certainly a chameleon when it comes to getting dressed. The actor opted for an ode to separates at the Audi Polo Challenge, pairing a textured double-breasted jacket with blue trousers and smart-casual sneakers below.
Who: Victor Cruz
Where: 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, LA
You don’t need a team to score a touchdown. New England Patriot-turned-free agent Victor Cruz went on the offence at this year’s MTV Movie & TV awards, flanking a statement floral suit with a simple T-shirt and minimalist sneakers to go the whole ten yards and beyond.
Who: David And Brooklyn Beckham
Where: King Arthur Premiere, London
David Beckham appeared to be preparing his prince for the throne at the London premiere of King Arthur (in which Becks makes a slightly cringe cameo). The defender of the realm of all that is cool cut a noble figure in a tweed two-piece, with his equally stylish heir apparent opting for classic slacks with wardrobe staples elsewhere.
Who: Brad Pitt
Where: LA
Brad’s back. Though this time, he’s more Fight Club than Seven Years In Tibet midlife crisis. While on the culture trail leaving an LA art studio, Tyler Durden came out swinging in rough-and-ready denim with a fail-safe white T-shirt up top. Throw in a pair of punchy Chelsea boots, and we’re in for one knockout comeback.
Who: Liam Hemsworth
Where: Malibu
Thankfully, Liam Hemsworth ditched The Hunger Games’ scrubs for a more casual get-up while lunching in Malibu. A relaxed T-shirt is a win-win for anyone blessed with a stockier frame; add to that a pair of slim-fit jeans (note: we said slim, not suffocating), and the odds are forever in his favour.
Who: Michael Fassbender
Where: Alien: Covenant Screening, Madrid
Despite a shaky back catalogue of looks, Michael Fassbender steered a steady and stylish (space)ship at the screening of his latest flick. The Alien: Covenant star used a choice knitted polo to balance out smart trousers below, all tied together in various shades of blue for an ageless Mr Ripley vibe.
Who: Milo Ventimiglia
Where: City Year Spring Break Party, LA
It’s been almost eight years since Heroes was on our screens but Peter Petrelli aka Milo Ventimiglia is no less one in our eyes when it comes to his wardrobe. At a recent event in LA the actor made double denim look easy, while also tapping an on-trend green knit to break it up.
Who: Matt Smith
Where: 2017 Audi Polo Challenge, Ascot
Doctor Who’s costume department leaves a lot to be desired, but luckily former Time Lord Matt Smith controls a sharper wardrobe off-screen. The actor attended the 2017 Audi Polo Challenge in threads that’ll age far better than any Dalek, with a double-breasted jacket and a faint chalk stripe bulking and elongating in all the right places.
Who: Luke Evans
Where: 2017 Audi Polo Challenge, Ascot
When you’re rumoured to be on the Bond shortlist, every public appearance is an open audition – something Luke Evans knows all too well. The State Like Sleep star went 00 heaven at the Audi Polo Challenge, donning a foolproof check suit and open-necked shirt for added badass attitude. Consider us shaken, and very stirred.
Who: Trevor Noah
Where: 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, LA
Trevor Noah: president of political satire, and apparently just as sharp off-duty. At the MTV Movie & TV Awards, The Daily Show host swapped Capitol Hill threads for casual black-and-blues, taking the peak lapel jacket down a peg with a tonal knit and sneakers. He’s got our vote.
Who: Ansel Elgort
Where: 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, LA
We’re struggling to find fault with this star. At the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, Ansel Elgort built hype for Baby Driver in a sleek all-black look finished with red and white racing stripes. A clean getaway if ever we did see one.
