On Sunday 27 March, Hollywood will roll out the red carpet for the 94th Academy Awards.

The Oscars is the perfect occasion for stars to celebrate their sartorial prowess and the creative talent of the world’s most renowned makeup artists, fashion houses, and stylists.

However, while the majority of the fashion attention tends to be directed towards women on the night, it’s worth noting that the entertainment industry’s leading men have also shown their love of fashion at the Oscars over the years.

In the lead up to this year’s awards show, we’ve detailed the best-dressed male Oscar attendees of all time below.
