Contrasting tie for James Cromwell
While many actors chose to stick with the traditional white shirt and black bow tie at the 84th Academy Awards, James Cromwell hit the red carpet looking dapper in a traditional patterned necktie.
The actor, who recently had a role in the Oscar-nominated film The Artist, took to the red carpet in a striking pair of sunglasses, pairing his black suit with a charcoal-coloured shirt and a black tie.
And while most black-tie ensembles would be too formal for the workplace, Cromwell's understated approach to Hollywood fashion can be easily emulated during the usual nine to five.
