The Best (And Least) Dressed Men At The 2024 Oscars
Birthday suits are now apparently approved as part of black tie attire
Brooches, bare chests and bare asses seemed to be the biggest trends at last night’s Oscars with the leading men of the industry ending awards season on a true high note with some exceptional red carpet style offerings.
Not to mention a completely* naked John Cena. May you always be famous.

With many of the awards going to exactly who deserved them–perhaps the one exception being the Sophie’s Choice between Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone–the most satisfying part of the night was seeing just how fun with their fashion Hollywood’s men are having.
Kudos to their stylists. In fact, winner of the Best Supporting Actor category Robert Downey Jr even gave his a shout out in his speech. More should be doing the same.
Of note was the number of bare chests on display for the red carpet. Black tie formality seems to have lost its grip in favour for a cooler cocktail attire vibe and honestly, the night’s aesthetic is better for it.
Check out our top picks for the best dressed men from the Oscars below.
