Naturally, there was a crop of gents in classic tuxedos, including Bradley Cooper, Shawn Mendes and Jacob Elordi. However, this year black shirts were the stars of the show for the men of Hollywood, with Jason Momoa, Andrew Garfield and Josh Brolin all layering tonal pieces.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Timothee Chalamet both proved that tuxedo rules don't have to be followed, with Gyllenhaal opting to go without a bow-tie, and Chalamet arriving on the red carpet shirtless under his sequinned Louis Vuitton jacket.
