Strong Suit - Red Carpet Fashion Awards

2019 AFI Awards Menswear Red Carpet Roundup

We won’t forget the fellas who joined a host of ladies at the 2019 AFI Awards this afternoon (January 4) in California.

Bradley Cooper: Am I the only one who desperately wants to undo that button? This wool Isaia suit was the better of his two looks this past 24 hours – which he styled with velvet Christian Louboutin ‘Greggo Orlato’ shoes – but if he was going to button up, he should’ve lost the vest, because the as look as presented feels really bulky.

Mahershala Ali: Could Mahershala look any cooler? His Christian Louboutin ‘Alpha Male’ lace less dress shoe set this off right.

Stephan James: Do not adjust your screens. This is a rare moment of Stephan James wearing black. The ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ actor was decked out in a three-piece Etro suit which mixed classic tailoring with a contemporary cut. I will give him a pass on going sans socks, as he was rocking a swaggy pair of Christian Louboutin ‘Dandelion’ patent and printed loafers. Chopard’s L.U.C Perpetual Twin timepiece completed his look.

Menswear Red Carpet Roundup

With so many film premieres, the men were out representing on the red carpet over this last week. Here’s a look at what they’ve been wearing.

Bradley Cooper: At the ‘A Star Is Born ‘premiere during the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain on Saturday (September 29), Bradley was on his suave best in this navy Corneliani suit.

Nicholas Hoult: The actor can work a patterned dress shirt like no other, and this orange-accented one definitely pumped up his blue Prada tailoring at the premiere of ‘The Favourite’ in New York City on Friday (September 28).

Riz Ahmed: I will always love an aubergine suit, and Riz’s was an especially rich shade, with glossy Christian Louboutin loafers to polish it off at the premiere of ‘Venom’ in Westwood, California on Monday (October 1).

‘White Boy Rick’ Toronto International Film Festival Premiere

'White Boy Rick' Toronto International Film Festival Premiere

The ‘White Boy Rick’ premiere was also on Saturday (September 8) during the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival in Canada.

Matthew McConaughey: I love the colour of this aubergine Strong Suit tailoring styled with Christian Louboutin ‘Cousin Top Daviol’ dress shoes. I do think the fit could have been perfected just a bit more.

Camila Alves: It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen Camila on the red carpet, and she returned in fine form with this white Romona Keveža Spring 2017 dress with a whisper of romantic chiffon wrapping around it. Styled with APM Monaco jewels, the look could definitely seem bridal. But, the shortened dress helped mitigate that mood.

Menswear Red Carpet Roundup

It’s been a busy week when it comes to mens fashion, so here is our roundup.

Jared Leto: The ‘Thirty Seconds to Mars’ star made a guest appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ where he donned a Gucci Cruise 2019 look consisting of a technicolor sweater and fiyah red trouser. Let’s hope that bin bag contains some of his less fortunate red carpet looks.

Channing Tatum: The actor was recently in London to present ‘Magic Mike Live’. While I’m not usually a fan of cropped trousers on men, this Arcady pair was looking very sharp, especially when paired with his palm-print shirt. Timberland shoes completed his look.

Winston Duke: The one thing I wanted ahead of the 2018 World Cup was to get my hands on the Nigerian football kit (and my heritage is Sierra Leone), but the entire collection sold out in around 3 minutes. The Trinidadian American wore his Nike tracksuit, in true naija fashion with a gold chain plus high-top sneakers.

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ New York Screening

Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke and Alden Ehrenreich attended the screening of ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ on Monday (May 21) in New York City.

Donald Glover: Looking as smooth as ever, the actor played it cool in a Gucci Pre-Fall 2018 clean-lined suit that has a distinct ’70s vibe to it. I love this rich caramel hue and the pairing of the appropriately titled ‘Dapper Dan’ GG sweater, that successfully showcased the brands heritage along with the loafers.

Emilia Clarke: Why blend in when you can stand bold while wearing Alessandra Rich’s Fall 2018 colourful dress? And if the print wasn’t striking enough, an eye-catching diamante and fringed detail finished off the look. This promo tour is really bringing out the best in Emilia.

Alden Ehrenreich: The actor kept things simple and clean wearing a Strong Suit by Ilaria Urbinati look in a bold French blue hue.

Menswear Red Carpet Roundup

The men have been showcasing their style credentials as much as the ladies this week.

Khalid: Taking a casual preppy approach, the New Artist Billboard Award winner wore Fendi to the ceremony on Sunday (May 20). The burnt orange colour typically has an autumnal feel but it suits his colouring and is kept fresh with the white trainers and hoodie.

Donald Glover: Further demonstrating his mastery of vintage-inspired looks, he was outfitted in Bottega Veneta Spring 2018 with Christian Louboutin ‘Dandelion’ loafers for the ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ London photocall on Friday (May 18), joining Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Emilia Clarke. The shoes cleverly echo the warm tone in the top.

Darren Criss: The former ‘Glee’ actor was suited and booted in Dior Homme at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 20). The footwear adds some edge, but it’s all about the eye-popping effect of that blue collar.

‘Westworld’ Season 2 LA Premiere Red Carpet Roundup

Many more stars joined Angela Sarafyan, Thandie Newton, and Evan Rachel Wood at the ‘Westworld’ Season 2 LA premiere on Monday (April 16).

Tao Okamoto: This Elie Saab Spring 2018 gown fully encompassed the designer’s foliage-driven collection with its leafy motif. Many of us will have to choose to ignore the visible nude undies underneath the sheer skirt, as I question whether black granny panties would have been any better.

Jonathan Tucker: Proving that men can certainly wear pink—and look damn handsome—Jonathan took a sharp turn in this Strong Suit by Ilaria Urbinati Collection suit that retained a sense of casual flair thanks to the unbuttoned dress shirt. Rich chocolate loafers and a David Yurman pinky ring rounded out the look.

Katja Herbers: I appreciate that Katja let her Giamba Spring 2018 mixed pattern frock with boho broderie influences stand on its own without the clutter of extraneous accessories.
