There Was So Much Fantastic Menswear at the Academy Gala
This weekend in Los Angeles, an impressive array of actors descended upon the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures with a singular purpose: looking absolutely fantastic. At least, that's how it seemed. Many of them were also probably interested in, you know, celebrating the evening and their chosen profession in a room full of likeminded individuals. But just one glance at the photos from the red carpet of the fourth annual Academy Museum Gala and it's clear that embracing the event in style was a prerequisite for attendance.
Maybe the relative youth of the gala itself is part of the reason everyone really turned it out on the fashion front. Maybe there's just something in the water in L.A. Whatever the reason, the ratio of hits to misses was impressive, with nearly every guest—from the established A-listers to the up-and-comers—hitting the mark. There was some classic black tie on display, of course. But there were also some creative swerves that were remarkably successful while staying true to the elevated vibe of the affair.
Keep on scrolling to see 35—yep, you read that right—of our favorite menswear looks from the gala. And feel free to take a few notes while you're at it.
