Cannes 2019: Taron Egerton and Elton John lead the film festival’s best dressed men

Although most eyes immediately turn to the haute couture gowns at Cannes Film Festival, the dapper gents also deserve our attention. 

With its strict smart dress code, men have been suited and booted to the max, no more so than at the screening of the Elton John-inspired film, Rocketman.

Actor Taron Egerton put his own spin on black-tie by wearing a statement grey velvet blazer by Tom Ford. He was joined by The Bodyguard star Richard Madden, who looked fresh in a white blazer, which was contrasted with a neat black bow-tie. 

Elsewhere, Luke Sabbat and Adam Driver also pulled off polished appearances at the screening of The Dead Don’t Die.

Sir Elton John, however, has so far been the star of the show. 

The 72-year-old, known for his quirky style, wore a custom rocket-inspired tuxedo by Gucci. The black jacket had a rocket adorned on the collar and “Rocketman” in silver sequins embellished on the back.

He also accessorised the look with limited edition tinted heart frames, also by the Italian fashion house.
