Manstyle: Tuxedos at the Oscars

The 86th Academy Awards aka The Oscars, also popularly trended on Twitter as Oscars2014 and other aliases, hosted by one of my favorite entertainer, Ellen DeGeneres, has fast become one of my favorite award shows so far this year. Did you watch curvy divas?  I even watched the stars appearances on the Red Carpet before the show.  While everyone will be focusing on who wore the best gown, my focus is who wore the best tuxedo! Let me preface that in searching for the perfect photos of these gorgeous men in tuxedos, I found two blogs with the same focus, featuring the stylish well-dressed men from the Oscars (you know what they say about great minds....)!  The first blogger's name is Marco Paulo Silva and his blog Royal Fashionist, and the second, celebrity gossip blog, The YBF. 

All in all the men on the red carpet turned out in their finest and were on par with the women on Oscar night. Without further ado, here are a few good men and the looks they wore:

The men who wore white or off white tuxedos, on the left, a winner that night, Matthew McConaughey, wore what we Jamaicans call, "a three-piece suit" because he had a vest underneath.  The vest in black added some contrast to Matthew's style, nicely done in my opinion.

Center-stage is Ryan Seacrest who was on the Red Carpet Live for E TV that night.   I loved his butter-cream off white tuxedo jacket. That was quite a stylish look.

Far right is actor Jared Leto who was also a winner that night, wore a white tuxedo as well, with an added contrast, a red bow tie. That's quite a fashionable flair!

Other mentions, Kevin Spacey in blue tuxedo looked quite fashionable as well.  Go to Marcos' website to read his views and see other photographs. Here


Rapper and entertainment mogul (in my head that is his title) Pharrell Williams wore a bermuda shorts tuxedo.  Can you say..."Wow"! I love his fashion dare which has made for quite a discussion amongst the fashion-talking-heads out there!  Some liked it, many did not. Personally I loved it!  Believe it or not, the bermuda shorts is quite a popular way of dressing for many people in Europe and the Caribbean; and not just in Bermuda!  To read about the origin of the bermuda shorts, go here.

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...
