On Monday night, The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiered in New York. As you might expect, the red carpet was awash with plenty of spectacular fashion\u2014Meryl\u2019s Givenchy cape<\/a>!\u2014but the menswear on display was, well, just fine. Stanley Tucci, who\u2019s returning in the sequel as Nigel Kipling, looked sharp as ever in a form-fitting velvet sport coat and charcoal slacks, but that was, ultimately, the only highlight. (TDWP, after all, is the rare blockbuster franchise not aimed squarely at a male audience.) But it did have us looking back with a little yearning at the simple, sexy looks worn by men on the original film\u2019s press circuit in 2006.<\/p>\n

Back in that era, before celebrity styling had grown into the high-stakes game of chess it is today<\/a>, there was far more room for spontaneity, personal taste, and plain old fun on the red carpet. Take Adrian Grenier, for example, who played Andy\u2019s much-maligned boyfriend Nate in the first movie (and is not, to the cheers of many fans, back for the follow-up). At the movie\u2019s New York premiere in June 2006, the actor, then 29, sported a charmingly simple semiformal look: a slim, single-breasted, black suit<\/a> with a striped button-up shirt and a silky grape-colored tie, all punctuated with a boyish mess of curls.<\/p>\n

A week later, when the movie opened at the Los Angeles Film Festival, Grenier opted for a darker, moodier look\u2014a boxy pinstriped charcoal paired with an inky, unbuttoned, dress shirt. Later that same day, he was spotted in the same shirt with a pair of dark-wash jeans.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the kind of natural, loose, uncalculated panache that so many of today\u2019s younger celebrities are chasing: Grenier\u2019s suits are, all things considered, pretty simple and straightforward, especially when compared to some of the flashy, full-runway ensembles we see on red carpets in 2026. Combined with his laid-back grooming and finishing touches\u2014tousled locks, a tugged-at tie, that 5 o’clock shadow\u2014and you\u2019ve got yourself two looks that are far more worthy of praise than Grenier\u2019s whiny character in the movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Monday night, The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiered in New York.
