The Golden Globes red carpet has given us a glimpse into the trends that will shape the Oscars. And for now, it seems like men are trading in their flashy suits for something more understated and sophisticated.
As Timothée Chalamet strutted down the carpet, looking every bit the part of a Hollywood leading man, he proved that the staid suit is back and better than ever. Gone were the days of flashy color and bold patterns – instead, we saw a sea of black, navy, and charcoal grey suits that seemed to stretch on forever.
While some women made waves with their brightly colored gowns, the men's fashion was decidedly more subdued. And it wasn't just Chalamet who followed suit – his co-star Odessa A'zion wore a monochromatic trouser suit that looked every bit as stylish.
It seems like the industry has made a slight shift back to "nice regular clothing" for men on red carpets, according to Esquire UK's style director Zak Maoui. And it might reflect a wider sentiment in menswear, where brands are presenting more wearable and less flashy clothing.
But even if men's fashion is taking a step back from the spotlight, there were still moments of color and excitement on the carpet. Elle Fanning wore a stunning silver Gucci gown that sparkled like diamonds under the lights. And Tessa Thompson rocked a custom sequined column by Balenciaga that looked every bit as glamorous.
And then there was Wunmi Mosaku's breathtaking canary yellow bespoke gown, which not only turned heads but also held a deeper meaning for the actress – her Yoruba heritage is often associated with gold, and "Iya ni Wúrà" means "mother is golden". It was a powerful moment of self-expression on the red carpet.
As we wait to see what the Oscars will bring, it's clear that men's fashion is taking a step back from the flashy and bold, and embracing something more understated but no less stylish. And with designers like Jonathan Anderson and Pierpaolo Piccioli leading the charge, there's plenty to look forward to in the months ahead.

I mean, who says that? Just 'cause Chalamet and his co-star are rockin' some sleek black suits don't mean everyone's gotta follow suit 
And what's wrong with a little bit of color and pattern anyway? It's like the fashion world is just trying to be boring now... 
Give me more drama, more excitement! 
. I mean, Timothée Chalamet looking all suave in that black suit is giving me life 
. And I'm so here for the resurgence of wearable fashion - less drama, more substance 
. Meanwhile, the women are bringing the heat with those bold gowns 
. Elle Fanning's silver Gucci gown was STUNNING 
, and Wunmi Mosaku's bespoke canary yellow number was like a ray of sunshine 
. Bring on the Oscars! 
. It'll be interesting to see how this trend plays out on the Oscars stage and beyond 
. No more flashy suits and bold patterns, just sleek, sophisticated looks that exude confidence without screaming for attention. It's interesting to see how the industry is shifting towards "nice regular clothing" as Zak Maoui put it 
. And let's be real, there were some truly stunning moments on the carpet too... like Wunmi Mosaku's canary yellow bespoke gown - it was more than just a pretty dress, it was a celebration of her heritage 
But then again, I saw Odessa A'zion's monochromatic suit and I was like, "Wait, this is actually kinda cool?" 
It's all so confusing...
can't wait to see what the oscars bring 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're still looking super stylish on the red carpet! 
! And what's great is that designers like Jonathan Anderson are pushing the boundaries of men's fashion in a more understated way 
But seriously, black and navy is a safe bet – it's classic, timeless. I wish they'd take it to the next level with some patterned shirts or accessories, though. It feels like they're just going through the motions with these plain old suits. 
. i love how timothée chalamet and odessa a'zion rocked those monochromatic trouser suits 
or tessa thompson's custom sequined column 
. but what's really interesting is how designers are moving away from flashy men's wear towards something more wearable and stylish 
. can't wait to see what the oscars bring! 
. I think it's kinda cool that men are stepping back from all the flashy colors and patterns, embracing something more understated yet still super stylish 
. It's like they're saying "you know what? Less is more" 
that bespoke yellow gown tho! 
I just saw this thread about the Golden Globes and I'm like what's going on with men's fashion? One day it's all flashy suits and now it's all black tie? Like what happened to having fun with your clothes 
like who says you can't rock a bold suit if thats ur vibe? some of these outfits looked super stylish
