Oscar Black Tie Do or Die Thread

[pvrhye]

Midnight blue lapels on a black dinner jacket is bizarre, but looks alright. Batman's jacket would be nice it fit better and were paired with a proper shirt and tie.

You referring to Renner? Pretty sure that's just the light reflecting and that they're actually black.

So te only problem that Jesse E. has was that he did not get his hair fixed?

I thought that his mop style is his signature. If he loses it, he may not be himself!

I really dont like the fact that EVERYONE is wearing tom ford, and the worst was probably russell brand, because it looks like he wasnt even trying to be outlandish.

Am I the only person who doesn't like to call it "dinner jacket" unless I'm really only referring to the jacket. When I'm talking about a tux I'm referring to the whole black-tie ensemble.

Apparently ugly is fine, as long as it isn't classical. What world do these people live in, and can I buy tickets to visit?

Depends where you are from. 'Dinner clothes', 'Evening clothes', 'Dinner jacket', 'Dinner suit' are all English, whereas 'Tuxedo' or 'tux' is American.

+1. Not sure who made it but he looked good.

The white tie looks completely ridiculous.

Plus with the Hollywood crowd, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot of mix-and-match going on, hence just being a DJ in many cases with tux or other trousers, not a proper dinner suit/tux.

Personally, I'd rather stay away from such a place...if I'm not already in it!

 

[TheWraith]

I think we're all in it to varying degrees, JLibourel. A sad indictment on the world today, perhaps, but nevertheless true.

I think Renner looks fantastic. And I'm a fan of Brolin, but I don't know why his pants are so long, and why his head looks gigantic. Actually, a lot of these pics make the guys look like they have lollipop heads. Is that just because the pale skin pops against the dark background?

You can call the whole ensemble a dinner suit. Call it a Tuxedo if you must, just not tux.
