Menswear Red Carpet Roundup
Here’s a look at the menswear that caught my attention this week, starting with Sombr’s tour look, followed by footballers arriving for international duty, premieres, press appearances and a late addition to the LACMA Art+Film Gala roundup.
Fall Arena Tour
Sombr is a Valentino man, but I’ve always believed that the first three looks from the Dior Fall 2026 collection were made with him in mind. The sequinned sleeveless top didn’t quite work for Alexander Skarsgård when he wore the purple version to the Pillion Berlin screening. For me, he simply didn’t have the right build to carry off that particular cut.
Sombr, however, has the lean frame and youthful attitude that make the plunging neckline and sleeveless silhouette work. Paired with gold sequinned trousers, the look feels completely at home on him. This outfit was made to rock out in on stage.
Footballers Arriving for International Duty
Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk arrived for Netherlands national team duty wearing a plum Prada leather coat from the Fall 2026 collection. He remains the coolest and best-dressed man in football, channelling his inner Neo or Shaft with this look. And the new cornrows? They only add to his appeal.
Eduardo Camavinga was also among the few footballers who didn’t arrive for international duty in a tracksuit. The Real Madrid midfielder opted for Bottega Veneta, and I love how the brown jacket with its Intrecciato cuffs adds a relaxed feel to the tailoring. Pathos sunglasses, Ugo loafers and a Corso bag completed his look.
Netflix’s The Gentlemen FYC Event
My love affair with brown tailoring just got that much deeper thanks to Theo James and his three shades of chocolate-brown P. Johnson tailoring. The tonal combination was already winning me over, but the paisley tie sealed the deal. More of this, please.
How to Rob a Bank Premiere
I love Nicholas Hoult and Prada‘s union, but this charcoal checked suit doesn’t excite me as much as his style usually does. Maybe the bar is now so high that good looks are going under the radar.
How to Rob a Bank Press
Nicholas returned to Prada for his press appearance, but even with the cropped trousers and contrasting collar, I’m still missing that Superman magic.
The Odyssey London Screening
Some might say Robert Pattinson is slightly overdressed for a screening and Q&A in this grey Dior suit, but the man loves good tailoring. And he looks so damn good. No complaints from me.
You would think Rob and Tom Holland were attending completely different events, with Tom taking a more casual approach in Louis Vuitton. But just as that suit is very Rob, this waffle-knit cardigan and jeans combination is very Tom. Both are dressing exactly as I’d expect.
2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala
One gentleman I missed from my original menswear roundup was Chris Perfetti, whose Brooks Brothers look embraced traditional eveningwear, from the cummerbund to the decorative With Clarity Empire brooch. Ivory and white can often feel like a mismatch, but the ivory bow tie is helping to soften my stance here.
