An example of this is today’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, a gathering for the lucky few vying for Hollywood’s highest honor.

Elsewhere, Jacob Elordi flouted fashion rules by pairing a black jacket with gray trousers and brown shoes, while Timothée Chalamet ditched neutrals entirely for an electric blue double-breasted suit.
