The House of Dragon star swapped battle uniform for relaxed Valentino tailoring at The Critics Choice Awards
18 Jan 2023For actors and filmmakers alike, awards season is a constant ebb and flow of excitement and anxiety. There’s the anticipation about whether your performance/TV show/film will be nominated, which, if it is, allows for a small amount of celebration before more nail-biting ensues. Next, the countdown until the big night.
And if a potential acceptance speech wasn’t enough to already have to prep, there’s the red carpet to consider. Whether you leave with a golden gong or not, you’re expected to enter with a charming smile and award-winning ensemble to match. The pressure is constant. With that in mind, Matt Smith couldn’t have looked better on Sunday evening. Walking into the Critics Choice Awards, where he was nominated for Supporting Actor in Drama Series for, the Northampton-born actor was dressed head to toe in Valentino sporting a look from their Pre-Fall ’23 collection. Not only did he break away from the bog-standard black-tie uniform, the 40-year-old madelists worldwide for his nonchalant choice of suiting.
It was also an opportunity to get creative. “I love Valentino because it’s a beautiful Italian brand,” Smith tells Esquire. “With this suit in particular; I’d never worn an ivory jacket. I liked the shirt and the sort of long tie piece that you could be inventive with, and I loved the high waisted trouser with the slight flare and break in the bottom. I thought it gave it an elegant twist.”
While the 40-year-old didn’t come home with a trophy to put on the mantelpiece, he did manage to win some style kudos. Until the next pomp, this look will be lingering in our memory.
