Who: Alessandro Borghi
Where: 74th Venice Film Festival Opening Ceremony
Alessandro Borghi looks happier than a five-year-old on their first day at school photo. Though instead of a nylon polo shirt and Power Rangers lunchbox, the Italian actor is head-to-toe in a razor sharp
Who: Billy Eichner
Where: MTV VMAs 2017, Los Angeles
Parks And Recreation star Billy Eichner is no laughing matter off-screen. The 38-year-old dropped the funny man role for a look as suave but simple: dark, wearable colours punctuated by a quietly printed Cuban collared shirt.
Who: Derek Hough
Where: Television Academy Choreography Celebration, Los Angeles
Decidedly cooler than his British counterparts (Anton DuBeke, anyone?), Dancing With The Stars frontman Derek Hough waltzed up a storm in LA. The 32-year-old went classic in a glove-fit two-piece, but added depth with a choice windowpane check throughout. It’s a ten from us, Derek.
Who: Dominic Cooper
Where: Stratton Premiere, London
All-black at a British film premiere: groundbreaking stuff. That aside, Dominic Cooper raised the look from the dead by simply focusing on fit. The double-breasted jacket is a stylish pivot from the usual format, with a simple knitted tie packing plenty of texture.
Who: Jamie Foxx
Where: Mayweather vs. McGregor Pre-Event Party, Los Angeles
Jamie Foxx is a man of many achievements, and frankly this fight night look is up there. As probably the only time we’ve ever seen fur-lined loafers look good, the Baby Driver star countered the statement accessories with foolproof black pieces elsewhere. Fortune favours the bold.
Who: John Legend
Where: Isola Molara, Italy
John Legend’s on no holiday. Even when jetsetting abroad to Italy, the ‘All Of Me’ crooner still slams in the style stakes – this time, in a Portofino-approved look of stripes and slacks, with textured loafers below for some mainland influence.
Who: Kendrick Lamar
Where: MTV VMAs 2017, Los Angeles
I think we all know who the real winner of the VMAs was. No, not Katy Perry’s piss-poor hosting, but Kendrick Lamar’s trousers. The perfect length of a wide-leg trouser is right on the ankle and the To Pimp A Butterfly rapper hit the mark atop some fresh-to-death kicks.
Who: Oliver Cheshire
Where: Majorca
Sure, Oliver Cheshire is paid to look good, but his personal style is just as commendable off-set. The M&S frontman went Ripley Riviera in a pair of lightly printed slacks made pool (and temperature) friendly with slides below and a well-fitting tee up-top.
Who: Sean Combs
Where: LAVO Fight Night Party, Las Vegas
Sean Combs has never been a wallflower. In recent years however, Puff Daddy turned P. Diddy turned actual-given-birth-name has managed to strike a perfect chord between statement and solid (unlike his raps). At a Vegas fight night party, the 47-year-old framed a loud printed shirt with monochrome for a look that’s as from white party bling as can be.
Who: Pharrell Williams
Where: US Tennis Association Gala, New York
Stuffy tennis fans: take note. Pharrell’s rejig of Wimbledon whites demands a court of its own, breaking up tricky monotone with carefully deployed accents of stripes and colour throughout. Game, set and match for statement dressing.
