Check out the trends below and shop our stylist edit for on-the-pulse party looks and accessories.

The trending red carpet dresses are as classic as it gets: Black, White, Red & Pink

Golden globes red carpet dresses in black, white, red and timeless shades of pink spoke to the glamour of Old Hollywood while retaining a sense of modern minimalism. We love these colors for their ability to serve as both a basic and statement that will never truly go out of style.

Sophisticated Minimalism: Column Gowns, Mini-trains and Strapless

The red carpet dresses of 2024 can be best described as sophisticated and paired down. Simple, shape defining silhouettes like column gowns, strapless pieces and architectural mini-trains create a sense of elegance without excessive embellishments, frills or sleeves. 

The Iconic Afterparty Top Layer, Black Tuxedo Jacket

An iconic top layer was spotted on multiple celebrities in after-party photos. Drape a black tuxedo jacket over your outfit for an elevated extra layer that won’t detract from your look.

Micro-Sparkle: Glitter, Silver and Diamonds

Hints of glitter within delicate tulle, stacked rings, silver accents, shoe-shine, sequin, subtle fine jewelry give off just enough sparkle without directly defining the outfit. 

This easy-wear shoe option adds shine on the carpet! We love this extra comfortable shoe brand designed for those with wide feet and other shoe challenges.

Comfortable Heels for Wide Feet and Foot Challenges

The Best Men’s Golden Globes Red Carpet Outfits: No Tie in Sight

Some men opted for a subtle yet iconic statement in 2024: sub the tie for a chain necklace, or opt for an unbuttoned collar.

Thick Soles Take their Place on The Carpet

Pedro Pascal donning a fashionable arm sling despite his injury won him a special spot in both our hearts and every major Best Dressed list this year. Pascal’s lug sole boots create ease within the outfit, echoing the same paired-down vibe as other attendees.

High-Waisted Pants

Leg-lengthening high waisted pants not only elevate height, but create a slimming effect. We love Jonathan Bailey’s ultra-flattering all white ensemble!

While we may not all possess the theatrical talents of a powerhouse like Ryan, we can at least channel his undeniably charming prowess in the way that we dress.
We’re here to teach you how to dress exactly like your favorite star with a collection of some of our favorite every day outfits that you can wear on the streets, on a date and more! You’ll be more than just #Kenough, you’ll be like Ryan Gosling.

Want a celebrity-worthy wardrobe makeover tailored to your exact lifestyle, figure and preferences? You’ll look famous when you book a styling session with Meg Gallagher Los Angeles Personal Stylist for Men.

Understanding Ryan Gosling Fashion in 2023

Ryan Gosling’s “Ken” campaign holds no shortage of high fashion; Between brightly colored suits and this sheer shirt and tank top combo, he’s managed a tricky combination of both innovative and masculine. Intimidating, right?

Well, it turns out his day-to-day style is a lot easier to master. Like, a lot easier. So easy in fact, that by the end of this article you’ll have the exact pieces and outfit formulas to look like the biggest star in Hollywood even when you’re headed to the supermarket!

Mastering Ryan’s Casual Style

The Plain White Tee

Ryan’s simple yet effective roll-edge tee is a masterfully understated statement piece that serves as a base layer for his most iconic streetwear outfits.

The Denim Jacket

Perhaps the most iconic of Ryan’s street style formula is his Denim Jacket outfit. An easy roll neck or relaxed tee, selvedge jeans, lace up boots, and accessories like a simple ball cap, long necklace and raybans or aviators.

Another alternative? Swap the tee shirt for a classic marled henley.

Celeb-Worthy Unique Button Ups

We love these two outfits that highlight a unique top. The striped linen henley and lounge shirt button-up are great for summer!

Knit Polos & Other Fall-Forward Knits

Bridge into business casual and casual date looks with a knitted polo. This look is great with chinos and Chelsea boots, or jeans and boots. Rock some Fall-forward looks with a short sleeve knit sweater or textured knit sweater.

Fall-Forward Layering: Shackets, Bombers & More

Ryan’s expert layering creates ideal streetwear outfits for fall. We’ve found dupes of our favorite Gosling ensembles you can top your outfits with for that celeb-like flare.

You, Too, Can Dress EXACTLY Like Brad Pitt!

Brad Pitt’s recent fashion statements in promotion of his new action comedy film, Bullet Train, have unsurprisingly been making fashion headlines – He IS, essentially, setting the entire pace for men everywhere when it comes to casual suiting. Why Brad Pitt, Though? We love his ability to chameleon different styles while ushering in new silhouettes. We look to icons to move us forward and inspire us in new directions!
The ease of Brad Pitt’s signature combination (the baggy suit complete with drawstring trousers, a loose tee and cool sneaker) is a practical yet ultra-stylish embodiment of 2022’s causal wear movement. The brains behind these looks of course, is slow-fashion designer Haans Nicholas Mott.
These specially crafted silhouettes may be in tune with the laid-back nature of post-pandemic fashion trends, however, Mott is using INSANE color combinations to take Brad’s outfits to another level! Terracotta, melon, mallard-blue and kelly green are among his choice of colors, allowing the red carpet star to make a bold statement despite the ease of his silhouette.
You, too, can copy Brad Pitt’s signature looks! Whether you’re looking to channel his era-defining silhouettes, trending pop colors or you’re just looking to give off a bit of “Brad-ness” … We’ve got five easy to master men’s outfit ideas that show off different elements of Brad Pitt’s style! Read on to discover just how many ways you can dress like our favorite men’s style icon.

Want more insight on how to creatively insert Brad Pitt’s looks into your wardrobe? Check out Los Angeles Stylist Meg Gallagher’s expert men’s wardrobe styling services here.

Men’s Outfit Styling Ideas

Outfit 1, an Opportunity for Pop Color

Brad’s signature oversized suiting looks great in all neutrals, such as navy paired with a gray Henley and matching sneaker. But if you really want to go to the next level and take on Brad’s wild colors like terracotta, melon, mallard blue and teal – an easy way to go about it is in your shirt! Creating a pop of color is low-effort when the canvas of your outfit is all neutrals. An outfit surrounded in navy is an easy backdrop for pop colors. Copy the look here:

Outfit 2, Defining Fall Through Sweats Fabric

This outfit DEFINES fall! Brad’s oversized drawstring suiting transfers naturally to sweats fabric, making this look easygoing, comfortable, and a great ultracasual work or work from home look when paired with a polo and hybrid chunky sneaker boot clogs. Copy the look here:

Outfit 3, Pop Color Shoes and a Raw Hem Shirt

Hone in on a key element in Brad’s looks (those extra loose, easygoing shirts!) with an oversized raw hem t-shirt. We also love adding a subtle color pop in the shoe! Copy the look here:

Outfit 4, Taking the Silhouette to Other Places

If you want to stray from the blazer formula, this tastefully oversized hoodie look paired with a shirt jacket and pop color sneaker still works within the same easygoing silhouette, effectively mimicking Brad’s “vibe” without using his exact pieces. Copy the look here:

Outfit 5, Nailing the “Puddle Pants” Look

In order to achieve Brad’s oversized “puddle pants” effect, keep the pieces loose and flowing with a chunky, rounded clog to stop the pants leg from reaching the floor. We’re loving chocolate brown for Fall, too! Copy the look here:

With Season 4 of The Crown out on Netflix, all eyes are on the legacy of the extremely influential Princess Diana! For our readers who aren’t familiar with the “People’s Princess”, we’ve included three of Diana’s most iconic looks from the 80’s-90’s with royal-inspired outfits you can rock at home! For our readers who have lived through Lady Di’s impact in the media, you may appreciate our modern take on her most famous looks.

Be sure to check out the free virtual museum presenting Netflix’s The Crown, which includes a closer look at costumes from the show!

Layering Like Lady Di

An oversized blazer over a sweater, jeans and cowboy boots. What do we love about this? Bulky top-layering is pulled together with a straight-leg jean, and is defined by the slimness of the boot. This look is relaxed yet well-proportioned. As seen below, Hailey Bieber recreated Princess Diana’s iconic ensemble with versions of her own – swapping boots for slide heels in one picture, and trading jeans for shiny leather in the second.

Other ideas for this combination include swapping the sweater for a hoodie, or swapping the jeans for another casual pant such as bike shorts or skinny jeans!

Pieces We Love

Oversized Sweater & Bike Shorts

An ode to Diana’s athleticism, we love a rendition of this athleisure classic: A big sweater worn effortlessly over bike shorts! Try this look in monochrome, or experiment with a patterned sweater or animal bike shorts!

Pieces We Love

The Sweater Says It All

Princess Diana’s outrageous pattern sweaters were often paired in contrast with sensible collars, tailored jeans or trousers and low heels or flats! A modern take on this outfit could be a rainbow striped sweater with straight-leg jeans, or switching the statement from your sweater’s pattern a statement collar!

You’ve seen them on celebs, instagram and everywhere else. Now they’re on a 50% off sale. Scroll down to see the cut and fit of 2019’s best selling jean styles!

A Quick History on Denim:

The earliest use of denim can be tracked back to Nimes, France. Rather than the cotton denim we know today, this fabric was a silk-wool blend. Fabrics were often named after their place of origin, hence “serge de Nimes” – which later evolved to “de Nim.”
In 1873, Levi Strauss created his first pair of tough denim jeans for the hardworking man with business partner Jacob Davis. This innovative partnership grew into the company we know and love today, Levi Strauss & Co.
