PAUL Mescal may have not won an Oscar, but for many style spotters, the Irish actor was among the best-dressed at the Academy Awards.
While most male celebrity guests stuck to the regular black tuxedo, The Normal People star was among those who opted to veer away from the classic look.
Mescal, who had been nominated for his role in coming-of-age drama Aftersun, walked this year's champagne carpet in a white coloured tuxedo jacket from Gucci, bowtie, wide-leg black flares and patent loafers.
He accompanied his 1970s-style suit with a red rose on the lapel.
The Maynooth-born actor, who lost out on an Oscar to The Whale's Brendan Fraser, later ditched the shirt and bowtie and donned a white vest top for the Vanity Fair after-party in Beverly Hills.
Other male stars also opted for a splash of colour for their Oscar look with The Banshees Of Inisherin actor Barry Keoghan continuing his run of coloured suits on the awards show circuit.
He wore a smartly tailored powder blue suit with white spiky statement buttons, and a white shirt and bowtie underneath.
On the carpet, Dwayne Johnson said his daughters helped pick his outfit: a shiny pale pink tuxedo jacket by Dolce & Gabbana.
Everything Everywhere All At Once actor Harry Shum Jr wore a custom suit from Adeam, a brand that takes inspiration from Tokyo and New York. He wore a white tuxedo jacket with navy piping and a matching obi-style belt.
Musician Lenny Kravitz was bare-chested for the Oscars, wearing wide-legged black trousers, an open silk shirt and strings of necklaces.
Nominated for the best supporting actor award for Causeway, Brian Tyree Henry gave a classic white and black tuxedo a glitzier upgrade with the addition of a paisley pattern on the shirt and lapels.
Elvis director Baz Luhrmann made a statement with his necklace.
Priced as costing £220,000 on the David Webb New York website, the Harmony Necklace and Pendant is made up of jade and black enamel, with diamond accents.
