Men Who Didn't Wear a Boring Black Tux to the 2023 Oscars

No boring black suits here!

Each and every year, the Oscars are Hollywood’s biggest night. But let’s be real: most men choose to play safe by wearing virtually identical tuxedos and formal suits to the ceremony. While it’s understandable that these celebrities want to go for a more “classic” look for the Academy Awards, we insist on taking the time to spotlight those who try to stand out, make bold fashion statements, or at least add some flair to such a traditional dress code. Thankfully, a few men did attend the 2023 Oscars without wearing the same old thing we’ve gotten so used to seeing at the red carpet.

Scroll through to which male celebrities brought something different to the 95th Academy Awards red carpet!
