Lest you think we had left out the dapper gents at the 2015 Emmy Awards, here is a roundup of the menswear moments that took to the red carpet at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Sunday night (September 20).
Alan Cumming: ‘The Good Wife’ actor and nominee was clearly moonlighting as a clown—albeit a very elegantly dressed one—in this Vivienne Westwood MAN Spring 2016 gray three-piece suit combination. The supersized pants were rather comical but it’s the Crocs shoes and umbrella prop that really magnified this sartorial stunt.
Hugh Dancy: Standing alongside wife Claire Danes, Hugh was handsomely attired in Ralph Lauren Black Label black suit that was a classically formal and very fine offering.
Andy Samberg: As the evening’s host, Alan made a splash on the red carpet in a custom Giorgio Armani black geometric print, two-button peak lapel dinner jacket with a formal black trouser paired with a classic white evening shirt and a patterned bow tie. I loved this look for its mod step outside the norm while still maintaining an elegant attitude.
Peter Facinelli: The actor was fetching in a Giorgio Armani midnight-blue, two-button peak lapel tuxedo styled with a white evening shirt that featured a classic wing collar and a bow tie. The deep blue hue added an understated yet striking depth, really bringing out his eyes.
Nikolaj Coster Waldau: Dressed in a head-to-toe Salvatore Ferragamo ensemble, the ‘Game of Thrones’ actor took a traditional tuxedo-defined stance with the flourish of velvet lapels for a luxe touch.
Brad Goreski: The ‘Fashion Police’ star and E! red carpet co-host was stylishly outfitted in a Louis Vuitton tuxedo with shiny patent Louis Leeman shoes—sans socks, naturally. I loved the textural patterning in the tux, which added subtle flair to this sharp look.
David Oyelowo: Bringing his own shine factor to the proceedings, the actor opted for a three-piece, double-breasted Dolce & Gabbana suit with the sheen of metallic threading throughout. I wish the trousers had been as well tailored as the jacket. Christian Louboutin ‘Houghton’ pump flats completed the ensemble with more luster.
Adrien Brody: While his suit may have been lacking in polish and the large bow tie a bit askance, he made up for it with his signature charm.
Joe Manganiello: While there wasn’t anything terribly statement-making about Joe’s standard black tux, there is something to be said for a solidly tailored, straightforward ensemble such as this.
Jon Hamm: The ‘Mad Men’ actor scored his Emmy win and made a slick appearance in a dark suit with contrast satin lapels. It was nice enough, but the trophy outshone his sartorial showing.
Terrence Howard: Copping a Hollywood attitude, the ‘Empire’ actor decided to wear his oversized sunglasses at night—and momentarily inside the theatre—where the rest of his ensemble consisted of a classic Etro black suit paired with a skinny bow tie and Louis Leeman dress shoes.
Rob Lowe: As one of the evening’s presenters, Rob commanded the stage in a precision-fit Burberry navy-blue suit with contrast black lapels that was perfect for his own baby blues. The effortless refinement cannot be ignored here, as this is handsome without a hint of try-hard.

Oh Alan, how I love thee!
Andy Samberg wins, for me. Runners up are Rob, David, Hugh and Jon. Alan wins the Only Works for Alan Cumming Award. Love him.
Hugh Dancy for surely
David Oyelowo, Nikolaj Coster and Adrien Brody are my favorites, but they all look handsome.
Hugh Dancy looked great. I also like Andy Samberg and Jon Hamm.
Hugh all the way.
I appreciate Alan’s boldness with fashion, but find the trousers hilariously costumey. Is it supposed to be The Tramp, is it not supposed to be The Tramp? I should not be wondering if that’s what he was going for. Really, only Charlie Chaplin can pull those off these days–in iconic black and white posters from his films.
Joe Manganiello & David Oyelowo
Joe Manganiello, Hugh Dancy and Andy Samberg are my favourites here. I also loved Andy’s other looks.
Hugh & Brad.
I love Alan Cumming, with other shoes it would have been my best dressed of the night.
Instead, I would go with Jon Hamm, love his suit.
Andy Samberg and Hugh Dancy.
Rob Lowe and Joe.
I really love Andy Samberg suit. I think everyone looks good but he stands out as the best to me.
Alan stands out. Love his theatrical fashion sense. He kept it interesting!
I also like Terrence Howard and Jon Hamm suits.
So safe! Very dashing, but I wish it was more acceptable for guys to experiment on the red carpet.
Thank God for Alan Cumming.
Rob Lowe looks good but I still don’t like the black/blue combo of his shoes and tux. Love Alan’s quirky charm!
Joe Manganiello is my best.
Joe Manganiello looks great!
