Oscars 2026: Best Dressed Men of The Night

Hollywood's biggest night saw the most stylish men going back to black (and white) to keep it classy

Even as it celebrated cinema's biggest achievements at the 98th Academy Awards, this year's Oscars brought predictable and most-deserving results in the Best Actor (Male and Female) races despite the fierce competition. Likewise, the red carpet, too, mirrored that mood, with little in the way of experimental menswear.

The two most stylish men at Oscars who were both running for the Best Actor (Male) category, Timothee Chalamet and Michael B Jordan contrasted each other with black and white menswear looks with subtle twists and the brooches.

Below, we break down the standout looks that defined the Oscars red carpet this year:

Jacob Elordi

The Aussie actor nominated for his role in Guillermo del Toto's Frankenstein in the supporting category went for classic three-breasted suit by Bottega Veneta.

Timothee Chalamet

Going all white in his tuxedo, Chalamet relied on statement accessories- sunglasses, rings, and a watch to elevate the otherwise simple Givenchy look.

Paul Mescal

The actor who played William Shakespeare in Chole Zhao's Hamnet opposite this year's best actor (female) Jessie Buckely cut a striking pose in a Celine.

Pedro Pascal

The actor skipped the tuxedo suit for a crisp white shirt with an extravagant brooch and sharply tailored highwaist pants.

Leonardo DiCaprio

The face card said it all for Leonardo DiCaprio who donned a moustache and wore his Rolex watch faithfully in a Dior, Boucheron.

Michael B Jordan

This year's Best Actor (Male category) went to none other than Michael B Jordan for his role in Sinners and looked absolutely handsome in closed neck bandhgala formal jacket from Louis Vuitton.

Damon Idris

The F1 Movie star Damon Idris walked the Oscars red carpet in Prada losing the necktie for a broad fur long-coat collar.

Hudson Williams

Making his debut at the Academy Awards, the 25-year-old actor from the hit show Heated Rivalry stepped on to the red carpet in an all black Balenciaga suit.

Robert Pattinson

Though the British actor did not walk the red carpet, he did make a surprise appearance at the Oscars alongside his co-star Zendaya to present the winner of Best Director category that ultimately went to Paul Thomas Anderson. Rob Pattinson looked dashing in a classic black Dior suit and wore a brooch and sported a new Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece with an integrated bracelet.
