LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS: Yes, yes, yes the women and the gowns on the red carpet at Cannes but what about the men? Here Wes Anderson, Edward Norton and Bill Murray show how versatile a tuxedo can be in expressing its owners personality: Wes, a known fan of custom-made suits, is wearing dark purple velvet with Vichy check shirt and oversized bow-tie, Edward Norton is wearing a sleek black ensemble by Dior Homme while Bill Murray is wearing a bright bow-tie that we’re told that he very proudly tied himself for the red carpet. Also wearing tailored Dior Homme on the red carpet are Ewan McGregor, Sam Riley and Walter Salles. A few styles of ‘Le Smoking’ are offered by Dior Homme but it’s the streamlined and thin collars, slim trouser and strip ties that the French maison has become known for. For W Paris - Opéra guests, the flagship Dior store where the full menswear range is carried is located at 30 Avenue Montaigne, 75008. Tel: 01 40 73 73 73
