Here, now, is a selection of Very Handsome Men for you.
First, let us acknowledge Try Guy Eugene Lee Yang, who voiced a character in the nominated animated film, Nimona. He is my Best Dressed Guy of Oscar night. That red tuxedo dress is EXQUISITE. It recalls Billy Porter’s black velvet tuxedo dress from 2019, but Eugene made the red look entirely his own.
Meanwhile, I think a lot of us were expecting much from Colman Domingo, but he came relatively tame to the Oscars, with a pretty standard tux, zhuzhed up with flared pants and some bejeweled accents. Still! Standard black suiting! Did not see that coming from Colman!
Meanwhile, Ke Huy Quan looked very dapper with a wine-red double-breasted jacket and a brooch—brooches were big for men this year—and Cillian Murphy wore another of his floppy little bowties. The man loves a floppy little tie!
But it’s over at the Vanity Fair party that I noticed Donald Glover looking absolutely f-cking stellar in a red suit with an open pink shirt and a mesh undershirt.
It’s giving 1950s, it’s giving Streetcar, it’s giving “Stella!”. Now I want to see Donald Glover in a new performance of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Also, at first glance, I thought Glen Powell was Tom Ford. If ever there is a Tom Ford biopic, we know who should play him! And finally, newly married handsome man Chris Evans showed up at the Vanity Fair party in bright red with his wife, Alba Baptista, who wore a more sedate black and white gown. Aw, they’re a cute couple.
