So. Lightning does indeed strike twice, because it was this time last year—at the very same Critics’ Choice Awards—that Matt Bomer blew me away in his electric blue Berluti suit. That look went on to become my favourite menswear moment of 2024, and here we are again, witnessing yet another masterclass in tailoring.
The Bomer x Berluti collaboration returned last night, and honestly, Berluti should just sign Matt to a lifetime contract because he was looking every bit the leading man.
Yes, Matt is a very handsome man. The tan is glowing, the red carpet lights are amplifying his highlights, and his overall presence is basically blinding. But let’s try—as impossible as it may seem—to focus on the impeccable tailoring.
The deep violet suede leather blazer? Luxurious. The warm purple silk shirt? A beautiful and harmonious pairing. The midnight blue trousers and matching cummerbund? Perfection. And the real MVPs of this look? The rich, moody colour combination and the effortless nonchalance of the styling, which included slightly unconventional jewelry and Berluti Nero Grigio patina Venezia leather Capri boots.
This look isn’t just good—it’s instant BDOTY material. Be right back… grabbing my Sharpie and adding it to my 2025 list immediately.
If you are feeling a case of déjà vu, that might be because Matt opted for a similar-ish look from Brioni worn to the 2024 Emmys.
