While we love seeing the ladies strut down the red carpet, last night we were a-buzz about what the gents wore. Seeing more individuality while wearing a tux was welcome. The men donned patterned tuxedos (Ricky Gervais) and patterned ties (Zac Efron, Hugh Laurie, Michael Douglas) livened things up a bit. There was also added color, a nice wink to formalwear when it’s paired and done well on Robert Downey Jr. as well as Robert Pattinson’s midnight-navy Gucci Made to Order. Christian Bale’s lack of color with his black-on-black choice paired with Cartier cufflinks worked for him (we shall say nothing on his hair). As for button covers, we were happy to see them. Reserved for the most formal occasions, they add a nice sense of occasion and sparkle. Colin Firth and Johnny Depp showed us how to do it different ways.
