Eddie Redmayne’s fashion era shows no sign of slowing down.
The 41-year-old actor has turned award season into his own personal runway show as he continues to up his drip with chic unconventional looks that make a standard black tux seem downright pedestrian.
After striking red carpet gold in chocolate brown Valentino suit with a large rose embellishment on his lapel at the Golden Globes and going shirtless in a black jumpsuit at the BAFTAs, Redmayne brought the drama to the SAG Awards on Sunday in a sleek white blouse with a huge tied bow at the neckline and black wide-leg velvet pants.

The Good Nurse star paired the monochromatic ensemble with a pair of pointy patent leather shoes as he struck a steady stream of Naomi Campbell-level supermodel poses.
How about we take this to the next level?

The entire lewk was plucked from Saint Laurent’s fall/winter 2023 menswear collection, which appeared to draw inspiration from everything from Seinfeld to Cate Blanchett’s lesbian conductor portrayal in Tar.

The reviews are in — and #eddieredmayne tops the @sagawards #bestdressed lists in his ‘daring’ @YSL blouse with a massive bow, wide black velvet pants and pointy black patent pumps. What a way for Eddie to end an awards season full of unexpected choices. pic.twitter.com/Bfkrhh2Pq8

On the flip side, others were less enthusiastic about Redmayne’s adventurous blouse getup.
Here’s what some of the haters had to say:
Eddie Redmayne look like he about to colonize somewhere. Love the trousers tho #SAGAwards pic.twitter.com/J8T5IypZrH

Reminds me of a power lesbian I used to work for, like she’s about to start a really intense meeting.

Regardless on which side of the fashion aisle you sit on Redmayne’s SAGs garb, the English actor has been getting more comfortable with showing off his fearless flare since he began working with celeb stylist Harry Lambert, aka the man behind Harry Styles‘ sartorial reinvention of the last few years.

Lambert is responsible for putting Styles in boas and jumpsuits and is doing his best to get male Hollywood stars more comfortable with stepping out of their comfort zones. In addition to Styles and Redmayne, Lambert has also worked with Barry Keoghan, Alexander Skarsgård and The Crown‘s Emma Corwin, among others.
Redmayne first began working with Lambert last fall, which is when the Oscar winning actor’s red carpet looks took off on a new upgraded trajectory.

I like some (e.g. BAFTA, Golden Globes) more than others, but to be fair, he’s so like a fashion model that he can make any outfit look good.
jackscott
I like his style, plus, he has the slim body to pull off the different looks.
Max
the pirate shirt look we thought would go away has come back.

The Alexander McQueen tux/jumpsuit Redmayne wore to the BAFTAS and the brown Valentino stunner from the Golden Globes were drop dead flawless. Stylist Lambert’s been pulling some awesome looks for the actor. Goes to show how a fresh new image can dazzle the public.
The Saint Laurent’s fall/winter 2023 menswear collection with those large neck scarves is very intriguing, and has been the talk of the fashion world this season. But to pull off that look, Redmayne needed to ditch the humdrum hairstyle and lose at least 15 lbs.
Den
Nobody could pull off the phallic hat outfit or the “deconstructed jacket”, as those are objectively ugly and pointless. He looked great in the rest of the stuff.
theaterbloke
I think the white bow outfit would suit Cate Blanchett more than Redmayne. And no one could pull off that Cat in the Hat black topper outside of an Oz movie. I don’t think that makes me a hater, just someone who’s a bit more conservative in his fashion sense.
Paulie P
He does it in a way that is fashionable and interesting because the major designers work with him unlike Billy Porter who tries his hardest but when no major designers want to work with you you are stuck with Project Runway looks…..
Man About Town
The white bow looks like it’s preventing him from being able to breathe.
LumpyPillows
I like his approach to fashion. Usually looks fabulous. Not ever swing is a home run if you’re going for it 100%.
DBMC
He looks great. He’s got the right look for these though.
SFMike
The fashionistas’ are making him look like a fool. I especially like the Mother Goose inspired Wee Willy Winke outfit with the big hat.
johncp56
I have to say i found him attractive very much so, to bad he is not on our team but a sweet man good for him
