The 9 Best-Dressed Men at the Actor Awards 2026, Ranked
This awards season has been relentless (doesn’t the Golden Globes feel like a decade ago?), but we’re in the homestretch now. Refreshingly, Sunday night’s 2026 Actor Awards—formerly known as the SAG Awards—shook up the race, with the Screen Actors Guild giving big prizes to the Americana-horror drama Sinners and its star, Michael B. Jordan.
Jordan was also one of the best-dressed men of the evening, looking very much like a winner in his sharp, double-breasted gray suit from Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford. There was also some fun risk-taking: Heated Rivalry breakout Connor Storrie (who more or less walked right onto the carpet from a cross-country flight after his Saturday Night Live hosting debut) paired his no-shirt suit from Saint Laurent with a sparkly Tiffany & Co. choker and Matrix sunglasses. And Adam Brody, who was nominated for his role in the Netflix comedy Nobody Wants This, rolled the dice in a bright yellow Prada shirt—and it worked!
That said, we should point out that last night’s red carpet was, generally speaking, not the famous fellas’ strongest showing this season. As my Vanity Fair colleague José Criales-Unzueta lamented in his best-dressed list that uncharacteristically featured zero men: “Sorry, dudes, the ladies ran laps around you tonight.” And it’s true. Beautiful gowns—but not so many beautiful suits. So it goes! Let’s hope they’re saving their best fits for the Oscars on March 15.
Here are our 9 favorite looks from the 2026 Actor Awards, definitively ranked.
9. Patrick Ball
Patrick Ball has been making waves with his white-knuckles portrayal of Dr. Frank Langdon in HBO’s cortisol-spiking medical drama, The Pitt. Last night, the actor stepped out in a pleated Thom Browne skirt suit. In typical TB fashion, his tie was loosely tugged and his calves were exposed. Though we’re used to seeing Langdon in scrubs, it’s clear Ball knows how to rock a skirt pretty well, too.
8. Timothée Chalamet
Nominee Timothée Chalamet ditched the Chrome Hearts and Givenchy DBs for an undone Prada look, which featured a cream-colored tuxedo jacket over a stark white dress shirt. His wing-tip collar was left unbuttoned to reveal a Panthère de Cartier necklace, which he’s worn throughout the award season. As he has traditionally done at SAGs past, Timmy brought along his mother, Nicole Flender, as his date last night.
