While the Academy doesn't include a category for 'best jewellery on the red carpet,' if there were, many male actors would surely be contenders. From Cillian Murphy to Matthew McConaughey, brooches and lapel pins adorned numerous suits. Alongside showing support with a red pin for Artists4Ceasefire, a group advocating for an immediate end to the Israel-Hamas conflict, other accessories stole the limelight. These pieces, crafted from dazzling diamonds in various shapes, added an extra touch of glamour.
Veteran Oscar winner Ben Kingsley, who also presented an award, sported an elegant floral brooch that perfectly complemented his classic suit. South Korean actor Teo Yoo opted for a more unconventional choice—a tortoise with a light blue stone atop.
Sterling K. Brown's midnight blue tuxedo accentuated his charm, but it was the sleek diamond pin that truly elevated his look. Enzo Vogrincic, known for his role in "Society of the Snow," wore a mountain brooch, possibly depicting the Andes, paying homage to nature's beauty with intricate details from day to night.
John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were a vision in white, with Krasinski adding flair with a star-shaped brooch featuring a lilac stone at its centre. The night's big winner, Cillian Murphy, adorned a golden brooch resembling sun rays, symbolizing the intensity of his film "Oppenheimer."
Canadian actor Simu Liu dared to break convention by wearing a stunning silver diamond-encrusted brooch in place of a button, adding a touch of glamour to his ensemble. Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo also joined the trend with his leaf-shaped copperish-gold pin that caught the eye.
Actor Colman Domingo, nominated for Best Actor for his stellar performance in "Rustin," is undeniably impressed with his impeccable sense of style. The "Euphoria" actor commanded attention in his sleek black double-breasted suit, but it was his brooch bow tie that truly caught the eye. Sporting a star-shaped brooch with a beautiful brown stone at its centre. Completing the look, he adorned a matching stud on his left ear, adding a touch of elegance to his look.
However, the true winner of the unofficial "Bro-och" competition wasn't present at the Oscars but deserves recognition for his dazzling accessories. Shah Rukh Khan stole the show at the Zee Cine Awards with his custom Manish Malhotra DB suit and standout Unicorn brooch, showcasing a style that could rival even the newest actors. Kudos to his stylist, Shaleena Nathani, for this fashion triumph.
