It may have been the week of Thanksgiving, a period that typically slows the fashion calendar with fewer red-carpet moments, events, and public appearances, but style never fully sleeps. Even with the holiday lull, athletes still brought heat through their tunnel-walk fits, musicians delivered performance looks with intentional flair, and a handful of stars crossed continents for premieres with wardrobe moments worth discussing. The energy was quieter, yes, but far from uneventful. Instead, it allowed more focused and thoughtfully constructed outfits to shine.
What made last week’s fashion particularly compelling was the way each look embraced a different dimension of modern menswear. From digital-forward tailoring to romantic minimalism and avant-garde formalwear, the standout outfits leaned on texture, silhouette, and craftsmanship rather than loud colors or excessive layering. With styling that balanced subtlety and impact, these men demonstrated that holiday-season dressing can still thrive in elegance, personality, and cultural presence.
The Looks
Jaylon Johnson delivered a tunnel-walk statement with a head-turning Louis Vuitton ensemble that fused traditional tailoring with digital artistry. His suit’s pixelated camo, an intricate blend of greens, browns, greys, and blacks, transformed a classic silhouette into a modern, graphic spectacle. A deep brown shirt and tie grounded the visual intensity, while chunky brown leather shoes introduced a rugged yet luxurious edge. The small LV trunk-style clutch subtly nodded to the house’s heritage craftsmanship, and sleek black sunglasses sealed the look with unmistakable confidence. Bold, cohesive, and unmistakably game-day ready, it was an outfit that commanded attention long before he stepped onto the field.
Meanwhile, the Big Fish himself, Adekunle Gold, brought refined elegance with a cool, intentional edge during his Fuji in London performance. And yes, he did it in Louis Vuitton. His oversized black coat, accented with delicate floral embellishments, balanced minimalism with personality, while a crisp white shirt and soft pink tie added a fresh, romantic contrast. Tailored black trousers maintained a clean, elongated line, and dark sunglasses contributed a performance-ready mystique. With understated jewelry and polished shoes tying everything together, he stood poised against the bold red backdrop, every bit the modern star dressed with quiet confidence and precision.
And for the Tokyo premiere of Stranger Things Season 5, Caleb McLaughlin embraced sophisticated drama in a striking ensemble by Pellicer. His structured black top, defined by distinctive knot closures and clean, architectural lines, paired seamlessly with wide-leg trousers that created an elegant, elongated frame. The monochrome palette emphasized silhouette and craftsmanship over embellishment, while glossy black shoes brought a refined final touch. The standout element, however, was the cage-veil headband by Binata Millinery: an artistic accessory that introduced texture, intrigue, and avant-garde mystery.
