The Best Dressed List isn't just for the ladies anymore; boring old tuxedos are a thing of the past thanks to fellas like Billy Porter! The "Pose" star stole the spotlight from everyone with this gender-fluid look by Christian Siriano, combining a traditional tux jacket with a flowing ballgown skirt. Such a statement.

A peep of white on the carpet did not disappoint. This elegant gown was designed by Oscar de la Renta. She strolled the carpet like a bride; showstopping and absolutely gorgeous. And peep those gams!

Obviously, J.Lo knew what she was doing and showed up with this super fun disco party metallic gown by Tom Ford. She brought the life of the party to the carpet.

Whatever this hunk wears will look amazing but here we see a modern-day Prince Charming and real-life Captain America in a teal blue velour Salvatore Ferragamo tuxedo, stepping up the plain tux in the best way.
Emma Stone

Paging "Downton Abbey"! The Crazy Rich Asians heartthrob took traditional into the realm of classic, looking like a perfect dapper gentleman about to have dinner on the Titanic in his Ralph Lauren tux complete with watch fob.
Nicholas Hoult
The Favourite actor rocks what almost appears to be the tuxedo version of a wrap dress. The unusual look by Kim Jones is actually inspired by a Dior design from the 1950s. What's old is new again, and we're loving it!
