Amid all the glamour the leading ladies brought to the red carpet, it can be easy to forget the men of Hollywood are also bringing their style A-game. Here at InStyle, we believe no couture should fall through the cracks, regardless of whether or not there are yards of tulle involved. With this in mind, we're paying close attention to actors like Colman Domingo, Taylor Zakhar Perez, and Simu Liu who have stood out on the Academy Awards red carpet in immaculately tailored tuxedos and sleek suits with plenty of bold jewelry and hues.

Ahead, feast your eyes on the men of the moment who not only brought their best to the Oscars red carpet, but threw fashion rules to the wayside while doing so.

Taylor Zakhar Perez went for a decidedly un-eveningwear Springtime color palette for this year's Oscars. His dusk blue Prada suit isn't just bold when it comes to its standout shade. Its jacket also features two-tone lapels that blend seamlessly into his black shirt.

Dominic Sessa's red carpet 'fit proves that you can't go wrong with a classic look. His Tom Ford suit delivered immaculate black tie elegance with a dash of contrast courtesy of a velvet jacket with satin lapels.

Colman Domingo in Louis Vuitton

Colman Domingo has consistently delivered strong, statement looks this awards season. For the Oscars, Domingo proved that you don't need to take off one accessory before leaving the house. Styling team Wayman + Micah dressed Domingo to the nines in a custom double-breasted Louis Vuitton suit, stacks of David Yurman jewelry, and an Omega watch.

Simu Liu's Fendi ensemble is proof positive that red carpet risks don't have to be loud to be effective. His suit blended jewelry with function thanks to its stunning bejeweled clasp.

Jack Quaid also went for a subtle and sophisticated approach to red carpet menswear. Look closely and you'll see that his double-breasted suit is a rich, deep plum, rather than the standard black velvet.

Matt Bomer's Brunello Cucinelli tuxedo takes slim fit tailoring to the next level. Rather than donning a relaxed fit look, Bomer went sleek with close-fitting proportions.

Ke Huy Quan in Giorgio Armani

Last year's Best Supporting Actor winner Ke Huy Quan gushed on the red carpet about how proud he was once again to grace the Oscars in a look by Giorgio Armani. Quan looked dapper in a burgundy double-breasted suit jacket worn with sharp slacks.

Johnson rocked out on the red carpet in a silky shark grey suit by Dolce & Gabbana. A contrasting blue shirt and sash of burgundy added visual interest to the actor's low-cut neckline.

Ryan Gosling in Gucci

The Best Supporting Actor nominee looked picture-perfect in a custom black Gucci look designed by Sabato De Sarno. Glittering crystals lined Gosling's suit lapel and shirt, giving the A-Lister an even more radiant aura. We definitely consider this "Kenough" to earn him a spot on the best-dressed list.

Bradley Cooper in Louis Vuitton

The Maestro star served up masterful style in a generously cut double-breasted suit jacket custom-made by Louis Vuitton. His flared pants added extra panache to the look. Cooper went without a tie, which added a relaxed vibe to his outfit.

Jon Batiste in Zegna & Jared Jewelry

Jon Batiste earned his place on our list of best dressed men for playing outside the black-and-white box and going bold with his accessories. Batiste opted for a rich plum Zenga suit and diamond-studded Jared Jewelry.
