If anyone needed further proof that menswear is the next frontier of high fashion, last Sunday’s Golden Globes made it undeniable. The message is clear: top fashion houses, traditionally known more for their womenswear, are now flexing their muscles in the men’s department. (Story by Shweta Shiware; Pics: Getty Images)

The black tuxedo? Classic, yes. Safe, definitely. But memorable? Not so much. So, how do you stand out quickly in a tux? Andrew Garfield turned it up in a Gucci wool double-breasted olive-green tuxedo, featuring a satin black peak lapel that revived the original power move with a V-cut toward the shoulder—designed by Sabato De Sarno.
Glen Powell, a first-time lead actor nominee for Hit Man, wore a sharp black Armani tuxedo with a peak lapel and cummerbund. Both ditched the bowtie, leaving their shirts undone and adding a touch of devil-may-care swagger.
Before buttons were invented, pins and brooches were essential for fastening fabric—and often served as status symbols. By the late 20th century, however, most men had stopped wearing jewellery. With celebs at Golden Globes wearing brooches in unexpected ways, the trend is gaining serious star power. Adrien Brody wore a supersized brooch by Hong Kong-based jewellery designer Elsa Jin with his three-piece Thom Browne suit.
Timothée Chalamet ditched the bow tie for a Bob Dylan-esque thin, polka-dotted blue silk scarf, paired with Haider Ackermann’s debut Tom Ford ensemble—a skinny black suit with sequin-speckled details.
Andrew Scott in Tiffany-toned Vivienne Westwood has confirmed that soft hues aren’t just for spring—they can bring personality and attitude to menswear, even in the colder months.
Jeff Goldblum in an Amiri crystal-embellished aqua-blue-green blazer also aced the pastel look. The Wicked star paired it with a bejewelled pin ribbon tie and brooches on both lapels.
“It’s a refreshing start to 2025. These aren’t really trends; they’re personal statements,” says Shahab Durazi, the celebrated couturier often dubbed as the “Armani of India” for his sharp tailoring and fastidious attention to detail. “Men’s styles at the Golden Globes had a distinct dandy feel, with impeccable construction on classic staples. A peplum, or tailcoat would’ve been a great addition, though,” adds Durazi.
