George Clooney is not only a celebrity style icon, but in many ways feels like the gem of a bygone era – his red carpet fashion seems to perfectly capture an Old Hollywood style from the days of Cary Grant and the late Robert Redford in their prime. Making an appearance at the gala screening for his new film, Jay Kelly, in which he co-stars with Adam Sandler, Greta Gerwig, Laura Dern and House of Guinness star Louis Partridge, the 64-year-old looked unbelievably suave. All eyes may have been on Amal's showstopping gown, but George's outfit is not one to be overlooked.
The ER star opted for a classic minimal navy two-piece suit with a notch lapel, for a more casual, semi-formal look – he paired it with a textured tie in a deeper hue, as well as a crisp white shirt for a sharp finish and striking contrast against the rest of his look.

It's simple on paper – he likely just gets his clothes tailored – but is ultimately the difference between the suit wearing the star, and the star wearing the suit.

However, George was not the only star to show up to the occasion in a brilliant look: London Film Festival seems to be a rather surprising hub for fantastic styling this year, and a lot of the men are bringing out their best.

James Sweeney
James Sweeney is not only the new writer, director and actor that you need on your radar, but also a budding menswear muse. For the screening of his new film, Twinless, he opted for a loden corduroy jacket with a tailored fit, which he layered over a black shirt for an edgier look.
James also donned a pair of tan suit trousers and lace-up burgundy ankle boots, looking contemporary but clean and classy at the same time.

Andrew Scott
Andrew Scott's style is always a little bit more left-field, but it's the rogue colour combinations and confidence with which he consistently pulls off his suits that's turning him into a modern menswear icon.
For the screening of his new film, Wake Up Dead Man, in which the 48-year-old stars alongside Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Kerry Washington and more, he looked brilliant.
The Fleabag star layered an oversized cream blazer over a pink shirt, which he paired with nightingale brown relaxed trousers and white shoes. Lots going on, but lots to love!

Dylan O'Brien
Keeping it a little more casual, and looking wonderfully cool doing it, Dylan O'Brien showed up to the Twinless screening in a black-and-white pinstripe shirt with black trousers and shoes – but it was his chocolate brown leather harrington jacket that stole the show. Very 70's of him!
