Move aside, ladies! Here are the best-dressed gentlemen in Oscars history

Say what you may, but the Oscars is the royalty in this ongoing award season!

The 97th Academy Awards is only a few hours away, and as the biggest stage prepares itself to celebrate films and everything related to that across the globe, the red carpet saga comes first!

And when we talk about the red carpet, fashion can’t be far behind.

Indeed, the red carpet is mostly dominated by the gorgeous ladies; however, gentlemen over the years haven’t fallen short in putting their glam foot forward!


Although the Oscars isn't always known for being the wildest or most experimental summit of men’s style, gents haven’t shied away from jazzing their outfits up a little bit for the prestigious occasion.


Let’s take a look at some woo-worthy attire and the gentlemen that pulled them off.

Ke Huy Quan

The ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ actor, who is also the first Vietnamese-born actor to win an Academy Award, sported a classic tux in a deep wine-red color and stole the attention on the 2024 red carpet.

Cillian Murphy

Cillian Murphy, who is mostly known to go subtle with his classic style of dressing up, sported the cummerbund, the pleated bib shirt, and the floppy bow tie. Cillian’s outfit made heads turn as he walked the red carpet in 2024.

Robert Downey Jr.

The Iron Man of Hollywood sure did sport a classic black tux for the 2024 Oscar red carpet as he showed up with his wife, Susan Downey, but his neck ornament had a lot to add to his classic look!

Bradley Cooper

Flared pants? Leave it to Bradley Cooper to rock it on the Oscars red carpet! In the 1930s, the sight of a bowtie-less, flared pant suit might have killed the Academy. However, Cooper surely earned some loud cheers for his look on the 2024 Oscars red carpet.

Riz Ahmed

Pink on a man? If that isn’t hot, what else is! Riz Ahmed, the Sound of Metal famed actor and rapper, donned a fuzzy, contrasting-collared Prada suit on the 2023 Oscars red carpet, and it still remains *groundbreaking*!

Oh by the way, this wasn’t Riz Ahmed’s first time sprucing up the red carpet with awesomeness! Although louche layering isn't what you usually think of for the Oscars, Riz Ahmed makes it work in plum on the 2022 Oscars red carpet.

Pedro Pascal

Trust Pedro Pascal to ace a puddly black suit with a clerical white shirt! Precisely what he did on the 2023 Oscars red carpet and won the internet!

Paul Mescal

If one could make their way to some Pinterest mood board with nothing but their red carpet outfit, Paul Mescal would be a rightful contender! The Normal People fella sported the classic black and white combination with a hint of red (yes, a rose!) on the 2023 Oscars red carpet, and yes - the internet broke!

Rami Malek

Even a Prada suit looks better with shades, and we present to you none other than Rami Malek to prove it. Donned in classic black and white, the Bohemian Rhapsody actor added some fiery charm to the 2022 Oscars red carpet.

Timothée Chalamet

There's few people who could pull off a sequinned bolero and going topless. But Timmy's your man and quite stunningly so! The Call Me by Your Name actor made jaws drop with his adorable curls and a striking pendant on the 2022 Oscars red carpet.

Chadwick Boseman

Nobody did refined opulence quite like the late Chadwick Boseman. The King aced Givenchy Haute Couture and Bulgari jewellery on the 2019 Oscars red carpet, and we still say, ‘Wakanda Forever’!
