It's no coincidence when Margot Robbie steps out in Barbiecore fashion or Wednesday's Jenna Ortega wears all black; actors are known to channel their characters while promoting movies and TV shows, and for the 2023 Golden Globes, a few did just that.
Take Sebastian Stan, for instance. After playing Tommy Lee in Hulu's Pam & Tommy, and being nominated for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film, Stan showed up on the red carpet channeling the musician. It was a choice made by his stylist, Michael Fisher (known for dressing most of Hollywood's hot guys) and executed in a smart and subtle way.
"I knew I wanted him to wear black (very Tommy Lee) and this being a first-time Globes nomination for Sebastian, it seemed appropriate," Fisher tells InStyle over email. Ultimately, they chose a Lanvin DB tuxedo with "contrasting satin panels under the sleeves and down the front pleat of the pant leg."
"We tried on several options/brands and kept coming back to this DB option. It had a flare and elegance that stood out to us. It feels special."
The goal for Stan's outfit was to be "very clean and modern," complete with Manolo Blahnik oxford shoes and a Tag Heuer Carrera Date watch with a black leather band. However, Fisher also snuck another Lee reference into the look — something you probably didn't even notice at first glance.
"There have been several Tommy Lee nods throughout this press tour and nomination," he tells us. "For this Golden Globes, the shirt is semi-sheer so he’s wearing a tank underneath — a very Tommy Lee staple."
However, Fisher says he mostly thinks about the actor's temperament when getting him dressed for special occasions.
"His calm, his ease, and how he carries himself is inspiring," says Fisher. "He’s ultimately cool and laid back, so we tend to go with that on the carpet. He’s himself — charming and infectious and I want to present the best version of that."
