The Most Stylish Men in Oscars Red Carpet History

On 12 March, the Dolby Theatre will (once again) play host to the most anticipated award show of the season: the Oscars. Actors, producers, directors and more will congregate to celebrate the best of film, and better yet, attendees and viewers at home will also get a screening of some very, very nice red carpet outfits.

Thanks to all the impeccable tailoring and one-of-a-kind watches on display – as well as all the best-dressed lists that cascade down our Twitter feeds in the immediate aftermath – it's the perfect opportunity for actors to gain the highly covetable status of Style Icon. Or whatever the opposite of that is, if they make the wrong decision. So it's probably a good idea that they learn some lessons from Oscars menswear icons throughout the past century, ranging from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the present day.
