While Salma Hayek is bedazzled in a beige with a subtle lace pattern and silver frills. Her sheer, sparkly sleeves that flow down her elbows created another dimension for her curves.

The trend of the GGAA is “Men in Colours”
There were standard black suits and tuxedos but some boys seized the custody of trailblazing trends. Eddie Redmayne emerged in brown with a huge silk flower on one lapel, courtesy of Valentino looking like a new year's gift himself. While Billy Porter arrived like never before in a crimson tuxedo gown with high chunky heeled blinged-out silver boots. He was endorsing a unique interpretation of fashion, wearing Christian Siriano and Yeprem jewellery. Tyler James Williams picked up Amiri spring-summer 23’ Runway look 49 in a shaded blue & grey capped jacket with straight-cut pants. While Andrew Garfield chose to wear a tobacco brown aka burnt orange suit to regain boost on his social media with being a new favourite top-gun boy. Austin Butler showed up in classic black with a bow tie and black shoes, keeping it real.
Adam Scott flaunted a tailored Paul Smith green, wool-mohair suit with a black cummerbund and slim black bow around the crossing. Joining the trends of colours was another man Seth Rogan being progressive in peachy pink. Barry Keoghan had a major moment in a sky-blue shade at the awards.

Men in black included the once upon a time in Hollywood cast and crew none other than Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino joining Colin Farrell. All the stylish and dapper gents dropped ingenious fashion choices. A-list boys are branching out, embracing colours, patterns and gender-fluid fashion. That can go far beyond the expected notions.
The evening of hopes and dreams conveyed some iconic looks and embellishments with stunning accessories complimenting customised gowns to create fashion junctures. Celebrities brought out some wow-worthy glamour on the red carpet. Though there were suspicions about how luminaries would choose to show up, especially following the show’s suspension after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was accused of both financial and ethical errors last year, it's clear that the Hollywood razzmatazz is here to stay.
