Despite the cold and wet conditions the actors and actresses upped the style stakes to put on a very good show indeed. We\u2019re all over <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/category\/desire\/style\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">style<\/span><\/a><\/span> at Elysium Magazine so here\u2019s our pick of the discerning gents ticking all the key sartorial boxes last night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Ben Affeck<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Ben Affleck\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8111\/8464942098_414853c0c9_z_d.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was a great night for Ben &#8211; his film Argo picked up the Best Film and Editing awards, whilst he also won the Best Director gong too. With all the attention focused on him last night it was a good job Ben opted for a suave Burberry suit. The smart cut meant Ben always looked the part when posing for the paparazzi, awards in hand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Bradley Cooper<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Bradley Cooper\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8516\/8463843881_1f6b4512da_z_d.jpg\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No stranger to good style, Bradley ensured that he\u2019ll be remembered for all the right style reasons by rocking a smart black tuxedo. We\u2019re big fans of the three-piece here at Elysium Magazine and from this evidence so is Bradley. He was nominated for the Leading Actor award for the film Silver Linings, whilst the film won Best Adapted Screenplay.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Henry Cavill<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Henry Cavill\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8247\/8463843849_6dfeb1e982_z_d.jpg\" width=\"389\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/desire\/man-of-steel\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Man of Steel<\/span><\/a><\/span> looked like he\u2019d just stepped out from the door of his favourite London tailor. The classic black tuxedo again was the hero in the style stakes last night. If it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t try to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>George Clooney<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"George Clooney\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8250\/8463843581_04fe221f02_z_d.jpg\" width=\"308\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With age comes experience, and knowing how to look the part when the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. George played it well by going for the smart black suit coupled with a dapper navy coat. It\u2019s the smart sartorial choice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>The Beard Trend<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"The Bearded Look\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8225\/8464942234_de146ac147_z_d.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps last night will also be known for another style trend as a host of leading male stars showed off well-groomed beards. Whether it was purely down to the frightfully cold conditions, Ben Affleck, George Clooney and Hugh Jackman were all flying the flag for facial fuzz at the BAFTA awards.
