Over the past year, I've noticed more and more famous men (almost all actors) get suited up by British menswear maker Dunhill in its classic British tailoring-meets-Old Hollywood glamor getup. It's come to a head as awards season kicks off across the pond, but I have a sneaking suspicion the brand's influence will reach America's silver screen stars this red carpet season. Why? Because every guy that wears the clothes looks so damn good. I did a quick explainer on why that is, and I even dropped in some recommendations for how you—who, I assume, are not rich and famous, no offense—can tap into this look. —Luke Guillory, commerce editor |

I welcome the return to Old Hollywood's menswear glamor.

Typically, I politely excuse myself from writing about how men dress on red carpets. It's too much spectacle, too tryhard. I'm too young to sound this old, but the fault is on brands and stylists, not me. No one seems interested in making the richest and most handsome men on Earth look either rich or handsome.
But over the past year, I've been surprised to find myself noticing, and enjoying, outfits that famous men are wearing on the red carpet or out in the world on press junkets. A handful of celebrities were doing classic tailoring—suits with roped shoulders and classically proportioned lapels, traditional tuxedos, silk accessories, and simple high-end-looking fabrics—not the capital-F Fashion stuff. They were all actors, and they all looked handsome and rich without trying to go viral on TikTok for a red carpet look.
Not to say I have a fashion eagle eye, but I did notice one thing about this "trend," if you want to call it that. They're wearing Dunhill. |

It's a freezing winter night in early February, but inside a chic restaurant perched atop a tower in Manhattan's labyrinthian Financial District, Jim Gaffigan is regaling a crowd of liquor journalists and whiskey aficionados with a story.
He and fellow comic Jerry Seinfeld were doing shows together. At a stop in North Carolina, they plopped down at the bar in their hotel—"It rhymes with 'Four Seasons,'" Gaffigan quips—for a drink. "Get whatever you want," Seinfeld said. So, Gaffigan, a comedian by vocation but a bourbon nerd by avocation, looked up and down the ceiling-high shelves until his eyes fell upon a bottle he'd never tried before: King of Kentucky.
"It might be $50, $75, $100 bucks a pour, but Mr. Seinfeld can handle that," Gaffigan tells us.
He ordered it, the bartender poured it, and he drank it. It was good. Really good. Life-changingly good. So, Seinfeld encouraged him to order another. When the bill finally came, the price was a bit more financially irresponsible than they expected: $500 a pour. |

Matthew Lillard is in the middle of signing a roll of Ghost Face Vodka labels. To his right is a stack bearing his autographs. To his left? A massive pack of labels, still waiting for his personal touch. "I've literally been signing for, like, hours now," the 56-year-old actor tells me over Zoom, his smile never waning. "It's been crazy." Thankfully, it's all in the name of good business. Lillard is welcoming the release of his new vodka—which, yes, bears the mask of the iconic slasher villain—and Scream 7, which hits theaters Friday. While his role is under wraps, Lillard will surely reprise his turn as the first-ever Ghostface killer, Stu Macher, last seen in 1996's Scream. Although Lillard is slyly tight-lipped about how his character will manifest in the seventh installment of the slasher series, he was able to divulge some decades-old Scream spoilers. "Back then, nobody ever assumed for one second that it was going to be anything else other than just another '90s horror film," he says. |
