It's been a year in which many of us have become closely acquainted with our loungewear selections, rather than our best tailoring.
However, allow these A-listers to inspire you to pull out your weekend finest once more.
The year may have seen premieres, parties and awards shows scrapped, postponed or taken entirely online, but there were a number of high-profile red carpets that took place before the pandemic closed international borders around the world.
From the Golden Globes to the Academy Awards, a number of the silver screen's most famous faces stepped out in a series of statement looks, from sleek tuxes in decadent fabrics to block-coloured tailoring and cutting-edge silhouettes.
Here, we've rounded up some of 2020's best-dressed men – but there are no boring, plain black suits here. Instead, we're championing some of the suavest, sleekest and bravely bold looks that enlivened red carpets in the past 12 months.
Scroll through the gallery above to see the 41 best menswear looks seen on the red carpets of 2020.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Your rights as an employee
The government has taken an increasingly tough line against companies that fail to pay employees on time. Three years ago, the Cabinet passed a decree allowing the government to halt the granting of work permits to companies with wage backlogs.
The new measures passed by the Cabinet in 2016 were an update to the Wage Protection System, which is in place to track whether a company pays its employees on time or not.
If wages are 10 days late, the new measures kick in and the company is alerted it is in breach of labour rules. If wages remain unpaid for a total of 16 days, the authorities can cancel work permits, effectively shutting off operations. Fines of up to Dh5,000 per unpaid employee follow after 60 days.
Despite those measures, late payments remain an issue, particularly in the construction sector. Smaller contractors, such as electrical, plumbing and fit-out businesses, often blame the bigger companies that hire them for wages being late.
The authorities have urged employees to report their companies at the labour ministry or Tawafuq service centres — there are 15 in Abu Dhabi.
