2025 Academy Museum Gala: Menswear Edition
Here’s a quick roundup of the rest of the notable menswear from the 2025 Academy Museum Gala, where the guys proved that impeccable tailoring and bold choices can coexist beautifully on one carpet.
Red hot precision
You can always rely on Jeremy Strong to A) stand out, B) keep things interesting, and C) make Loro Piana feel subversive. His custom red tuxedo, sharp as ever, featured contrasting black lapels and perfectly precise tailoring — the kind of craftsmanship that feels quietly extravagant. But it was the matching crimson sunglasses that transformed the look from classic to cult. He continues to dress like a man who is not afraid of bold colours.
Peak Goldblum energy
Jeff Goldblum, ever the showman, also swerved convention in an ERL ensemble. The look’s proportions were pure theatre — a puffer jacket replacing the expected blazer, layered over a ruffled shirt and sharply cut waistcoat. It was vintage Goldblum: part dandy, part avant-garde icon. The Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry antique diamond brooch added a note of timeless glamour to an outfit that was anything but traditional.
London calling
Bowen Yang brought playful eccentricity in an NB44 suit embellished with silver buttons, evoking the Pearly Kings and Queens of London. It’s not often you see such whimsy on a Hollywood carpet, and his energy — paired with Jimmy Choo Eliot slippers — made this one of the night’s most joyful menswear moments.
Timeless perfection
Regé-Jean Page delivered textbook elegance in Brioni. His ivory silk brocade jacket and black tuxedo trousers channelled the timeless sophistication of an old-school leading man — no gimmicks, no tricks, just pure magnetism.
Immaculate
Few men wear tailoring as consistently well as Dave Franco, and his midnight suit once again demonstrated perfect proportion and cut. Whoever’s handling his fittings deserves an award; this is how modern simplicity should look.
Rich and refined
Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen weren’t matching in colour, but their looks spoke the same elegant language — her green Erdem Spring 2025 gown and his brown custom Brunello Cucinelli suit offered a beautiful case study in complementary dressing.
Sweet Like Chocolate
Channing Tatum, also in brown, wore Fendi with a relaxed sensibility — no tie, open collar, and just enough polish thanks to Tiffany & Co. accessories, including a vintage brooch and Eternity watch.
Cool, calm, custom
Jacob Elordi, in custom Bottega Veneta, returned to a slimmer silhouette that felt effortlessly cool, even with his signature long trouser break.
All Black Everything
I always swoon over a tonal black-on-black suit, and in Dolce & Gabbana, Simu Liu demonstrates why — sleek, sharp, and perfectly balanced.
Understated luxury
And finally, Diego Boneta exuded easy sophistication in Giuliva Heritage, styled with Tiffany & Co. accessories.
