Hugh Jackman In A Gray Suit

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 00:18:15 +0000

I don’t care what anybody says, Hugh Jackman is HOT! . The guy can pretty much wear anything, or nothing at all, hah. He can transform himself from an ass-kicking Wolverine last summer to this toned guy in a gray suit.

If Wolverine wore this cut of suit this past Summer, he would have been busing out if it. Not that the ladies would have any problems at all about that, hehe. Hugh Jackman was all muscles while playing the character. He looked HOT in a “I will kick your ass” kind of way but this time around, he looks very suave and debonair.

I give also give him props for going with a pale blue shirt, and a darker shade of necktie. The lace-up oxfords need some shining but it’s ok. We’ll give Hugh a break on the department since he made up for it with his black sunnier and the overall handsome look. I don’t know where he is going with his “Man-Purse” but Hugh Jackman definitely means business.

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:44:18 +0000

Michael Emerson took home the Best Supporting Actor award from the recently concluded 2009 Primetime Emmy’s. Michael plays Ben from the ABC hit, LOST. For the night’s red carpet, Michael worked with renowned stylist to the stars, Colin Megaro, to look and match his wife’s gorgeous Mako Takada gown.

Colin Megaro started with a custom made suit from Oxxford Clothing. The latter has been around since 1916 and has been worn by the Hollywood Big Wigs including Carey Grant and Clark Gable. To match the suit, Colin picked a shirt and necktie from the label Hugo Boss which happens to be Michael’s favorite. In huge award nights like the Emmy’s, the attendees muct be comfortable in what they’re wearing. Michael sure looked cool and dapper in his suit. So cool that he took home one of the huge awards of the night.

Congrats Michael Emerson and 2 thums up to Colin Megaro for helping him out in the fashion department.

In continuing with my efforts in sharing with you all the tips and tricks from Esquire’s The Handbook of Style, here’s another installment dealing with the 9 Patterns You Should Know.

Glen Plaid

1. WINDOWPANE — This is like a 2-in-1 pattern because while it’s good for business suits, it could transition to a party suit as well.

2. HOUNDSTOOTH — This is good for bold jackets and special occasion suits.

3. CHALK-STRIPE FLANNEL — Perfect for cold-weather suits that mean business.

4. PINSTRIPE-WORSTED — This is for any kind of business.

5. BIRD’S EYE — For when you want the Women to notice you during cocktail hours.

6. HERRINGBONE — The pattern for casual blazers and cold-weather trousers.

7. GLEN PLAID — The office’ classic suits pattern.

8. MADRAS — This is meant for warm-weather blazers that paired with jeans.

9. SEERSUCKER — For sharp looking suits and pants in a torrid heat weather.

There’s a pattern for certain time, weather, and occasion. I hope you learn something.

Sean Penn Likes His Monochromatic Suits

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 00:05:11 +0000

Stylists said monochromatic suits are supposed to be out this year. I say, who cares, right? Sean Penn is never shy in letting people know he really doesn’t care what people think of him. I highly doubt he pays attention to what’s in or out in Men’s Fashion this 2009 or any year for that matter.

Sean Penn

Sean Penn wore a monochromatic suit during the Oscar’s. He’s wearing another one at the 34th Annual Cesar Awards. Let’s give the guy his much-deserved credit because he knows what he likes, and he’s sticking to it. And gosh darn it, he looks good.

The Stylish Men At The 2009 Oscar Awards

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:53:56 +0000

The ladies looked gorgeous at the recently concluded 2009 Oscar Awards but the Men did their own thing. Oh how they all looked dashing and handsome. They all made me so proud. The trend of the night for the Hollywood Men was bow-tie. There were some neckties but most of them opted for the bow-tie.

Let’s start with the host, Hugh Jackman. He changed 3 times. If my sources are right, his suits were custom made. He opted for bow-tie, from the opening to his performance all the way to the end. Hugh Jackman did wonderful. He is a full package entertainer. I loved how he played an homage to all the movies in his “recession” show then at the end he proclaimed to everyone how he is THE Wolverine. 2009 Oscar’s was fun because of Hugh.

More Stylish Men after the fold….

Best Actor winner Sean Penn with previous Oscar’s winners, Robert de Niro, Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin, Anthony Hopkins and Adrien Brody. Sean Penn is I think one of the few who donned a monochromatic suit.

Robert Downey Jr was his usual dapper self. He finally shaved, (hehe). He also opted for a basic black and white suit with necktie.

I’d probably get tomatoes thrown at me after this but I don’t really consider Twilight star Robert Pattinson hot. His “rebel-scruffy-devil-may-care” look has all been done before. Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell anyone? Just sayin’. But he looked ok last night.

Zac Efron played his part as the Hot Young Hollywood Kid wearing his Dolce & Gabbana suit at a huge party successfuly. He and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens performed with Hugh Jackman during the show.

Brad Pitt was once again wearing Tom Ford. He looked good as usual.

Daniel Craig didn’t disappoint with his own bow-tie formal look.

PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive Hosts 2009 Oscar’s

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:30:28 +0000

Hugh Jackman, aka Woverine, aka 2008 People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive is hosting the 2009 Oscar Awards tonight, February 22nd.

I’m so excited. Not only is Hugh Jackman hot and stylish, he’s also a good performer. He had a successful run in Broadway a few years ago. I think he won a Tony Award as well. I’m not sure about that though so don’t quote me on it yet . Anyhooo, besides all the aforementioned, he happens to have a sexy Australian accent that’s going for him. I’m sure I am not the only one who is looking forward to tonight’s Oscar Awards because of Hugh Jackman. Oprah herself announced last Friday on her show that she wouldn’t care if it lasts for 5 hours because Hugh Jackman is hosting.

I will be doing a live recap of the red carpet fashion over at Style It Less so check that out from time to time beginning at 6pm Eastern Time. I’ll make sure to post the Male Celebs Fashion here at She Knows Best as fast as I can.
