Male celebrities are outdoing their female counterparts at glamorous events around the world. We’ve already sung the praises of Timothée Chalamet and his takes on the classic suit, which made headlines last year.

This awards season, it looks like more male actors are taking a page from his adventurous fashion book.

Actor Darren Criss, formerly of “Glee” and a winner at the recent Golden Globes for his role in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace”, chose a custom-made jacket embroidered with cherry blossoms from Dior while Ryan Murphy, creator of the television series, opted for a zebra-print dinner jacket from Tom Ford.

The trend, however, is not confined to Hollywood. In China, superstar Kris Wu performed on Eastern TV clad in a bespoke embroidered jacket and trousers from Alexander McQueen.

Chalamet, meanwhile, has moved on to even more daring outfits: his sparkling bib, or harness (the internet is still conflicted on that one), designed by Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton, was the talk of the red carpet at the Globes.
