Timothée Chalamet had fans going wild over his shirtless appearance on the Oscars red carpet. He showed up in a cropped sequin-embellished suit jacket with lace trim and sleek trousers from Louis Vuitton.

In lieu of a shirt, the "Dune" actor wore dazzling Cartier pendant necklaces. He also piled on rings to accessorize.

Vogue named Kodi Smit-McPhee "this awards season's breakout menswear style star," and for good reason. His androgynous and colorful looks always pack a punch.

Smit-McPhee, a nominee for best supporting actor, wore a pale-blue Bottega Veneta suit with a Cartier necklace under the shirt collar. He also wore a bold pair of blue chunky woven shoes and a custom Cartier watch with diamonds that formed a leopard's face.
