Our tip for looking good in gold? Make sure you get the right shade to match your complexion. That’s exactly what Henry Golding did at the 2019 SAG Awards. Not to be outshined by his Crazy Rich Asians co-stars Gemma Chan and Michelle Yeoh, the actor opted for a golden jacquard jacket with a wide satin shawl collar—by Tom Ford, no less.

Fashion brands like Valentino, Celine and Louis Vuitton have all shown us that sequins are just as much for the lads as the ladies. If you really want to be in the spotlight at our ball, embrace the sparkle and throw on a sequin jacket just like Timothée Chalamet did at the 2022 Oscars. The Dune actor added even more bling to his look with his Cartier jewels. Perhaps you can flaunt some rubies for our 40th anniversary celebration?

A boutonniere is one way to add a dramatic flair to your look without walking around in sequins or shocking colours. We suggest you go big on them, just as much as Harry Styles did at the premiere of his film, My Policeman. His leafy boutonniere was a nice twist on the accessory which typically features a flower, and it also harmoniously matched the rest of his green ensemble courtesy of Gucci.

You legendary look isn’t limited to just Western menswear. We certainly encourage our guests to embrace their Asian heritage at our soirée. We’re Tatler Singapore, after all. For proof that a traditional costume can be just as stunning as a suit, consider Kumail Nanjiani’s outfit for the premiere of Eternals. The Pakistani-American actor looked elegant while emphasising his cultural roots in a silk sherwani by House of Umar Sayeed.

Maybe your idea of legendary doesn’t lean towards extravagance. You can still sport an understated look that wows in its own way. When Michael B. Jordan made his red carpet debut with his then-partner Lori Harvey, he nicely complemented her dramatic, jewel-encrusted couture gown with a Tom Ford tuxedo—in shiny satin. It’s safe but special.

Being a legend often means forging your own path in life—and in style. It’s the same thing Daniel Craig did when, after years of playing the masculine ideal that is James Bond, he showed up to the premiere of his final Bond movie in pink. Not black, not navy, but pink, a colour we could forget was associated with femininity when the British actor was bold enough to embrace it in its most vibrant shade by wearing a bespoke velvet suit. How will your surprise the other guests and leave an impression at the Tatler Ball?
