A black tie dress code doesn't strictly mean black, as some of the best-dressed gents on the red carpet have shown us. The likes of Messrs Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and John Legend are all known to favour a midnight-blue tux - the tone looks richer under flash bulbs and artificial lights. If you're likely to get snapped yourself, opt for Dolce & Gabbana 's slim-fit 'Martini' design. This satin-trimmed three-piece includes a shawl-lapel jacket, adjustable waistcoat and unaltered trousers that have all been tailored in Italy from a fine wool-blend.
