suited up

It seems as though half of why most people watch the Academy Awards is for the fashion, namely what will the parade of actresses will wear. I thought Amy Adams in Proenza Schouler, Cate Blanchett in Dries Van Noten, Marion Cotillard in Jean Paul Gaultier, Jessica Alba in Marchesa, and Tilda Swinton in Lanvin, all looked positively resplendent. For the most part the female fashion was safe, if not due to the writers' strike or the lack of award show momentum in the recent months, but I thought some of the most handsomely dressed men looked as classic as any movie star could achieve. Here are the three best dressed men at the 80th Academy Awards:

Sean Combs

I think scalloped vests are making a comeback. There is no "bitch assness" found here.

James McAvoy, with wife Anne-Marie Duff

The button detail and subtle shawl collar combination is striking, and yet his slightly deshelved hair makes it look youthful and relaxed.

George Clooney

And then there's what Time dubbed "The Last Movie Star." How does he do it? It's pure Hollywood glamour and no one does it quite like Mr. Clooney, in a classic Armani tuxedo.

Love shawl collar tuxes, hate scalloped vests.
