The 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards were entirely virtual, but that didn't stop Hollywood's finest from dressing up in glamorous red-carpet attire to celebrate each other.
But some of the most notable looks from the SAG Awards came from the men of Hollywood, and celebrities at future events should take note.
Many male stars abandoned the traditional suit and tie at the SAGs
The 2021 SAG virtual red carpet was filled with bold suits, setting a new standard for men's award show style.
For instance, Leslie Odom Jr. rocked a green and purple ombré Berluti suit.

He paired the ensemble with a matching turtleneck.
"Schitt's Creek" star Dan Levy made a nod to the trend of monochromatic dressing, opting for an oversized cream suit from The Row and a floral Cartier brooch.

Some stars, like Griffin Matthews, wore vintage-inspired looks.
Matthews, who stars in "The Flight Attendant," rocked a blue velvet vintage tuxedo jacket for the SAGs.
Other stars turned to patterned suits, like Aldis Hodge, who was styled by Law Roach.

Hodge's three-piece Dolce & Gabbana suit featured an intricate black and gold pattern that looked lush and luxurious.
He also added his own spin on the look by going shirtless under the vest.
The playful outfits were an overdue change
Male stars on the red carpet have long adhered to a similar look: a standard tuxedo in either black, white, or navy.
Some stars have gotten playful with their ties, but on the whole, men's red-carpet fashion has been fairly standardized for decades.

It's sexist and a double standard to think that female-identifying stars are the only ones who can wear striking ensembles on the red carpet, and in recent years, a handful of male-identifying celebrities have opted for less traditional looks.
But the array of styles this group of stars brought to the SAG Awards shows - once again - underscores the fact that only good things come from diversity in Hollywood, whether in terms of representation or fashion.
And even if it took a red-carpet-less event to get there, the daring ensembles injected a much-needed sense of life to this awards season.
