Most Stylish of the Week: The CFDA & Tony Awards

MSOTW9June

This week's post would have almost solely been about the CFDA Awards had I not been late in posting. When I woke up this morning I found a few extra great looks from the Tony Awards last night as well as a few unusual suspects who popped here and there.
Gabe Saporta, Thom Browne (in himself), Zachary Quinto (in Todd Snyder) and Scott Sternbeg (in himself, aka: Band of Outsiders) were the most dapper guys at the event. Funnily enough, all of them only used grey, black and white, which proved once again how simplicity and a good cut are all a man ever needs.
Over at the Tonys Jack Gyllenhaal stole the show, without a doubt. The actor finally stopped looking scruffy and he did so in a classic Tom Ford tux. I am not going to lie, I can't remember anyone ever looking this good in Tom Ford. Ever.
Darren Criss' black outfit was also a winner. I am not normally keen on the black-on-black evening look but here is looks on-point and chic. Alas, the hairstyle is borderline teenage skater and how many times have I emphasised the importance of a good haircut?
Someone who pretty much always rocks is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He made an appearance at last week's Guy's Choice Awards and I was happy to see him in a light suit by Gant Rugger. The light blue looked chic and classic with the white shirt and the yellow polka dot black tie tied everything together making it interesting.

And now, for a few faces that don't normally appear around here... Cory Monteith, who makes his second appearance on Fashion, Frankly, is looking better than ever after his rehab getaway. The actor looked sharp in a grey suit and tie, which looked young and fresh thanks to the white printed shirt.
Colour was the key point of Patrick Dempsey's airport outfit. His maroon blazer was an understated statement worn over a blue t-shirt and jeans and paired with the Chelsea boots this was a winning casual look.
You might recognise Billy Magnussen from Boardwalk Empire, where he rocked an amazing haircut. The actor attended one of this weekend's pre-Tonys parties in an outfit that, while a little costum-y and only apt for the outdoors, I absolutely loved. It's like tough boy-scout meets adventurous aristocrat.

Most Stylish of the Week: James Franco gets his star in Gucci

MSOTW11Mar

Let me first apologise of the delay of this post. I was planning on publishing it last night but I was too tired. I spent the weekend with some friends in Madrid and I had the misfortune of losing my iPhone on the first day, which means I couldn't even Instagram my adventures in the city...
I love the fact that most of the guys in this post are not the usual faces of the MSOTW posts! Cory Monteith, perhaps the most unexpected one, is one of the highlights. His airport look of casual jeans and hoodie paired with a cropped khaki peacoat is simple and very chic. Grey, blue and khaki is my favourite colour combination.
Jayson Blair should go to events more often. The actor was spotted at the Chateau Marmont in LA wearing a combination of smart and casual items – velvet blazer, unbuttoned white shirt, jeans and  beige suede shoes. Effortlessly great.
I'm always happy to see Gabriel Mann on the red carpet because his style in 'Revenge' very much annoys me. In real life he is a preppy yet sharp dresser, much after my own heart. This week he took some marine inspiration for his Breton striped shirt paired with a gold-buttoned navy blazer and tie and just-so rolled-up jeans.
Ryan Reynolds rocked Prince of Wales checked trousers like a pro, which he wore with battered black All Stars, a simple V-neck jumper and – my favourite – a Gant Rugger beige jacket from the SS13 collection. Talk about understated elegance.
James Franco looked dashing in Gucci this week as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I loved how contemporary the classic suit looked thanks to the mix of shades of blue. And I was particularly pleased to see him in brown suede Gucci Horsebit loafers as the iconic shoes are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year – check out the whole collection here.

Most Stylish of the Week: Robert Pattinson has a green Gucci moment

MSOTW17Nov

JGL week excluded, I think this is the best Most Stylish of the Week post I've had so far. With the CFDA Fashion Fund, the Glamour and GQ Awards, and multiple movie premieres including the world tour of the 'Twilight' cast I have been absolutely spoiled for choice this week. So I decided to actually rank my favourite eight looks and to let you, unknown stylish reader, choose who your favourite is on the poll box below.
Robert Pattinson's green Gucci moment (1) had all the cool ingredients we hadn't seen since Ryan Gosling set a similar (and, ahem, better) precedent a few months back. He has continued to look extremely sharp and original at every one of his press tour stops. I also loved his textured grey number (2) from the German premiere. If only he hadn't repeated shirt and tie...
Taylor Lautner has also been doing surprisingly well. It's not only that clothes fit him well but, though less sartorial than Pattinson's, his choices of colour are quite interesting. I have never liked an all-black suit ensemble but this one (3) looks so good!
I was close to cutting this look (4) from today's post because of Pharrell Williams' awful choice of belt and comical attempt at joining Movember. But then again, it's Pharrell. His Lanvin look was as relaxed as it was chic and the sock-less situation and said facial hair actually give suit a sort of Mexicana feel that I'm actually quite into.
Hamish Bowles (5) could probably be in this post every week but I feel like he has the advantage to have been 'playing the game' better and longer than the rest of us. His pattern mixing, not to mention matching sock action, makes me realise I know nothing.
Not everyone has the build to pull of a Tom Ford suit. What with the broad lapels, long jackets and wide ties a man has to be tall and seemingly buff not to get lost in one. Bradley Cooper (6) is that man. I loved the subtle check and the way he knows a blue shirt is his best ally.
Even though I'm still undecided about Chris Pine's Ralph Lauren Purple Label look (7) on the red blue carpet I do commend the purple/lilac touches and the choice of shirt collar. I wish we saw more signature Ralph Lauren on celebrities rather than bland bard suits.
Cory Monteith (8) was probably the last person I ever thought I'd ever blog about. But I must admit that I find this slightly odd brown-black suit with the burgundy tie and the velvet shoes kind of fascinating.
