Jonathan Bailey Makes Menswear Interesting on the Red Carpet

For years, leading men on the red carpet have leaned on the same formula: a black tux, a safe shoe, and a pose that says I’m here because I have to be. But Jonathan Bailey is rewriting that rulebook — quietly, confidently, and with an eye for tailoring that refuses to blend in.

The Bridgerton, Wicked, and Jurassic World: Rebirth star has emerged as one of the most intriguing dressers in Hollywood, proving that menswear doesn’t have to mean minimalism. It can be romantic, architectural, even playful — without ever sacrificing masculinity.

Tailoring With Personality

Bailey is rarely overdressed, but he is precisely dressed. Sharp shoulders. Clean lines. Soft fabrics that move. He gravitates toward designers like Saint Laurent, Fendi, and Loewe, but it’s the way he wears them that sets him apart.

Where other actors dress to play a role, Bailey dresses like he’s already the main character.

The Fashion Moment Matters

Bailey’s rise coincides with a shift in red-carpet menswear overall. Stars like Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, and Pedro Pascal have opened the door for menswear that is sensual, expressive, and unconcerned with old rules.

Bailey fits into that movement — but with a distinctly elegant, romantic edge.

After being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive 2025, Bailey’s style is being dissected everywhere — red-carpet accounts, stan Twitter, even tailoring communities.

One fan summed it up perfectly:

“Jonathan Bailey doesn’t dress to impress. He dresses like he already knows you’re watching.”
