Dazzling diamonds and designer gowns gave way to dashing and debonair Hollywood hunks at the 80th Oscar celebrations this year.
The ’80s saw a redefining of what was acceptable as ‘black tie’ as actors started to push the boundaries and experiment with decorative waistcoats or lush fabrics like silk and velvet on the red carpet. Now, more than ever the gents are giving the ladies a run for their money in the fashion stakes and as Oscar celebrates his 80th birthday, The Weekly would like to pay tribute to the often-neglected style of Hollywood’s men.
Some of the hunky Oscar winners and nominees included:
Daniel Day Lewis (Winner for Best Actor in There will be blood)
Javier Bardem (Winner for Best Actor in a supporting role in No country for old men
George Clooney (Nomiated for Best Actor in Michael Clayton)
Johnny Depp (Nomiated for Best Actor in Sweeny Todd the demon barber of Fleet Street)
Vigo Mortenson (Nomiated for Best Actor in Eastern Promises)
Tommy Lee Jones (Nomiated for Best Actor in In the valley of Elah)
Cassey Affleck (Nominated for Best Actor in a supporting role for The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford)
Of course, no Oscars night would be the same without the jaw-dropping fashion of the ladies, so we’ve chosen some of the best to go hand in hand with our handsome Hollywood males.
