Hot on the campaign trail for the latest Marvel entry Avengers: Infinity War, Benedict Cumberbatch pulled off a stellar tailoring move that managed to flex colour and texture in one suit.
A merlot velvet two-piece may sound like a bit of statement, but it's a welcome departure from the usual monochrome-fest of the red carpet and one you can easily emulate.
Just ensure you finish with all the right accessories: a knitted tie for some contrast, a brilliant white dress shirt and a pair of your best monkstrap shoes.
And maybe release a blockbuster or two. That always helps.
