The Oscars 2014 Red Carpet Menswear Trends In Black Tie Wrap

I have been watching a few live feeds on newspaper blogs regarding the Oscar's 2014 red carpet. I will tell you that the surprise for me is that 'peacock' did not feature heavily anywhere much to my surprise. Kevin Spacey wore a marine blue tuxedo, Jared Leto wore a white shawl lapel in off white / cream with a red satin silk bow tie, Pharell Williams, whom I thought might champion the peacock instead opted to wear Capri styled pants on a traditional black tie ensemble. Michael Fassbender's bow tie was the nicest out of the lot I saw but his trousers were cut too long. Matthew Mconaughey had best in show tuxedo to my mind with a black velvet satin silk shawl lapel smoking jacket (woops I saw that on a blog which was showing another years content. He wore a cream tuxedo with black waist coat. A no no in my book) . Interestingly the line up was far more traditionally orientated than I expected.
