Another year, another Oscars red carpet full of very well-dressed, accomplished men boasting net worths that climb with every passing minute in front of the paparazzi. They have nominations, and appearances to upkeep, and probably a small army of stylists to hand.

Such is the industry that male celebrities inhabit, in which their clothes attract just as much attention as their female contemporaries. The bar is raised. The number of stylish, well-dressed men increases too. And, while the classic tuxedo is still appropriate dress (it's even enjoyed something of a return in the past year), people take risks too, resulting in a mixed procession that is genuinely exciting, with something for everyone.

So we've collated every single one of them. Whether you like Brad Pitts in classic penguin suits, Billy Porters in fluid couture, or cinema veterans refusing to make any sort of effort, here are all the best-dressed men of the Oscars 2020.

Brad Pitt

Upgrading the tux needn't mean swerving to the left-field. Like Brad Pitt, tune into the Oscars 2020 dress code with a velvet, shawl-collared jacket from Brioni.

Rami Malek & Mahershala Ali

What's better than one Hollywood giant in infallible all-black? Two of them, that's what, with Mahershala Ali adding a glint of gold jewellery to Ermenegildo Zegna XXX, and Rami Malek in Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarell (with a Pasha de Cartier Collection watch).

Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino was responsible for Reservoir Dogs, which was responsible for some very good black suits, which was also the director's suit of choice for the Oscars 2020. Mr. Brown was always the best one.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't need much with a haircut this good. But the Best Actor nominee didn't rest on his laurels, relying once more on a tuxedo that's made the actor look good for the last two decades. Helps that it's Giorgio Armani, too.

Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo knows an award-winning combo when he sees it, pairing a fine watch with red carpet finery for a look that's much more than just fine.

Timothée Chalamet

Of course he wasn't going to go classic. We're thrilled, frankly, and a zip-up Prada silky two-piece is the best course of action for an ever ascendant Timothée Chalamet (and would you look at that Cartier Tradition brooch).

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is a Very Nice Man, bringing his own mum out with his own sharp tux from Dolce&Gabbana. Lovely.

Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix walks the walk. So when he talks of Hollywood' inequities, he mirrors it in a sustainable, eco-friendly way to wear the tuxedo: you wear the same one, as tuxedos (and Stella McCartney) intended.

Robert De Niro & Al Pacino

The veterans of The Irishman do style on their own terms, and Robert De Niro and Al Pacino turned up in Giorgio Armani (and out) for the old guard.

Zack Gottsagen & Shia LaBeouf

Contrary to his usual rotation of pretty mad menswear, Shia LaBeouf went simple, twinned with his Peanut Butter Falcon co-star Zack Gottsagen in matching tuxedos. Shia opted for some rose gold and onyx tuxedo studs and cuff links from Montblanc, too, and a pair of TOD's lace-ups.

Taika Waititi

When you're up for Best Picture, go for something that'll command widespread respect from the fickle Academy circle. Which is exactly what Taika Waititi did in a Dior Men tux smartly upgraded with a Panerai to the wrist, finished off with a pair of TOD's lace-ups.

James Corden

James Corden is now a Hollywood mainstay. So, it pays to make like his newfound neighbours in classic red carpet regalia that works on both sides of the pond (and everywhere else).

Noah Baumbach

In his nominated ode to prenups, Noah Baumbach paints a very unhappy home onscreen. Off-it however, the marriage of black tie separates makes for one everlasting love in the form of a Dior Men tux.

Tony Hawk

Jeff Kravitz

Tony Hawk pro-dresser. Why he's there is anyone's guess, but in a look that puts The Irishman's wardrobe to shame, we want more Nineties grungers of yore on the red carpet.

Pedro Almodóvar

It's raining in LA. This is no time for sunglasses. Unless you're industry heavyweight Pedro Almodóvar in Givenchy, for whom the rules just don't apply.

Oscar Isaac

Steve Granitz

The kind eyes. The beard. The Tom Ford tux. Star Wars' alum Oscar Isaac has stormed the Oscars 2020 without even trying. The Force is so, so strong.

Questlove

The Roots' drummer/co-frontman Questlove played to his own tune, eschewing the tux entirely for an oversized shirt with frayed hems, and the dress shoe's comfier, cooler cousin: the patent sneaker.

Anthony Ramos

Hamilton star, and lord mayor of the Oscars 2020, Anthony Ramos went full city hall in a white jacket and livery collar. The town crier announcing Ramos's arrival sadly didn't make his flight.

Finneas O'Connell

Finneas O'Connell produces big hits. Like his younger sibling, Bond crooner and Grammy stormer Billie Eilish. And also like his Oscars 2020 tux: big lapels, big impact, big chart-topping potential.

Antonio Banderas

Robyn Beck

He's done this before, Antonio Banderas. You can tell. And though his tux may've provided cover in 1990, it always works just as well in 2020, especially with a new shine to the lapel. And the fact it's by Dior Men.
