All eyes were on the recording industry last night as the Grammy Awards took center stage. Before all the star performances and awards could be given away, the red carpet rolled out and so did the dapper styles. I’ve given a lot of thought to my top picks for the best dressed men last night, and I hope you’ll choose to agree or rightfully disagree with the ones that rose above the rest.
Sam Smith swept the ceremony with an allotment of prizes for his soulful ‘In the Lonely Hour‘ album. Smith continues to be a favorite of mine and last night he went classic with three different suits (the white tie he wore for his entrance; the cherry red he wore to receive his first award; and the blue plaid he finished up with). John Mayer and Childish Gambino followed suit (pun intended) with classic tux looks as well, Childish Gambino takes my favorite though with a sock-less ensemble.
Aloe Blacc played into a trend I saw across the lot of outfits last night, blue. A deep shade of the cool color made his entire look pop and the hat was a classy tip to complete the act. Usher was also up for consideration last night with his greyscale get up. The R&B star rocked a Calvin Klein suit, Louis Leeman Paris shoes and Lorraine Schwartz bling.
My all-time favorite look of the evening though? Drum roll because this got a lot of yes and a few no.
Nick Jonas.
The youngest Jonas rocked a grey, canary and black paid suit courtesy of Versace. His slick backed hair, clean white shirt and simple watch accessory tied everything together and made me a believer in stepping outside the norm to make a statement. Well done, Nick.
