And the film awards season has officially drawn to a close. The Oscars 2025 edition (or the 97th Academy Awards, if you're formal like that) saw Anora almost clinching all six of its nominated awards with five wins including "Best Picture", while the Adrien Brody-starring The Brutalist won three and earned Brody his second Oscar for "Best Actor in a Leading Role".
The formality of the award show—more so than the others of its ilk—often leave the men relegating their outfit choices to the safest of tuxedos. And while that's not necessarily a bad thing, it leaves for a rather humdrum red carpet for menswear. Thankfully, the dress code has been somewhat loosened over the years, resulting in fits that are worthy of the prestige of the Oscars, all while retaining a sense of elegance.
The Oscars 2025 red carpet saw the men working around these boundaries. Timothée Chalamet debuted Givenchy's newest creative director Sarah Burton's menswear with a pastel yellow tuxedo paired with Cartier jewels, and together with Jeff Goldblum and Colman Domingo (in Prada and Valentino respectively) some opted for colours and prints beyond the conventional. But even in the more subtle and traditional, there were modern nuances. Joe Locke's CELINE outfit featured a gold waistcoat, Rowoon embraced glitter and shine in his Amiri pick, and Reece Feldman exuded elegant flair in Saint Laurent. All in all, quite the red carpet for the men indeed.
