- Awards season is the perfect time to spot amazing red-carpet outfits, especially during the Oscars.
- Some stars, like Leslie Odom Jr., have tweaked the typical tux.
- Jonathan Van Ness and Timothée Chalamet have brought a whole new style.
Looking back, Hollywood red carpets have seen plenty of dapper leading men, like Marlon Brando ...
In 1955, Brando won an Oscar for "best actor of the year" for his portrayal in "On the Waterfront."
... and "North By Northwest" star Cary Grant, who was known for his charm.
Grant was a legendary actor and icon of Hollywood's Golden Age.
But the traditional tux has evolved. At this year's Oscars, several male celebrities turned heads, like "Judas and the Black Messiah's" LaKeith Stanfield.
Stanfield's Saint Laurent jumpsuit easily made him one of the best dressed of the night at the 93rd Academy Awards.
