At this year's gathering of boldface names who give each other awards and get drunk, these were the A-listers who proved black tie doesn't have to be boring.
Ryan Gosling & Brad Pitt
This, readers, is what movie stars look like. Two men pulling off classic black tie perfectly.

Orlando Bloom
Bloom is no stranger to the Golden Globes red carpet and he's clearly got the black tie thing down. His fitted shawl colar tux and grosgrain detail slippers, plus that sky-high hair all adds up to a modern spin on red carpet style.

Rami Malek in Dior Homme with Montblanc accessories
Malek makes his Golden Globes debut in an elegant midnight navy tux--finished off with a cool lapel pin--that's equal parts classic and contemporary. Here's how Rami Malek got ready for the 2016 Golden Globes with stylist Ilaria Urbinati.

Eddie Redmayne in Gucci
The Danish Girl star wears tailoring better than just about any boldface name out there and does nothing to change that with this skinny Gucci dinner jacket featuring subtle tonal embroidery.

Bryshere Y. Gray
The Empire star shows you how double-breasted doesn't have to be stuffy--especially on a young guy. Extra points for those streamlined tassel loafers.

Paul Dano
Dano has been making menswear moves lately, turning up to premieres in sleek tailoring that's turned our heads more than once. At this year's Globes, he swerves hard in a Old Hollywood-level navy DB tux.

Jason Statham
Velvet and wide lapels (especially a shawl collar) is a 202-level combo that doesn't always work out on the red carpet (see: Dwayne Johnson), but Statham aced the look by sticking with a cool neutral brown color and nailing the fit.

Sam Heughan in Dunhill
To be honest, the Highlander actor hasn't been our radar--until now.

Michael B. Jordan in Dior Homme
Jordan took a risk with this buttonless tuxedo jacket and vest combo and it worked. Not only did the Creed actor look appropriate for a black tie event, he also looked unlike any other guy on the red carpet.
