Round-up: Red carpet Refined and dapper

There was a testosterone overload when these sizzling hot male actors arrived on the red carpets spread out for premieres of Man of Steel, in London, and sixth season of True Blood, in California.

Here is our pick of the hottest men at the two events:

Man of Steel

Henry Cavill



Cavill has the right physique (not to forget that yummy square jaw) to pull off suits and we’re so delighted with his looks at the red carpet. This Superman poster boy’s ensemble comprised of a Tom Ford midnight-blue check three-piece suit paired with a matching tie and a white dress shirt — it has us weak in the knees!

Russell Crowe



Australian actor Russel Crowe was the only one who wore an overcoat at the event — too cold, Crowe? Underneath the overwhelming black coat, he wore an ink-blue suit paired with a light blue shirt. He, however, chose not to wear a tie.

Michael Shannon



The actor wore a grey Thomas Pink suit with a white shirt and cufflinks. Breaking the monotony of his ensemble, he wore a pair of — wait-for-it — purple socks. However, the pop of colour he wanted to add was hidden partly by his loafers and his pant’s length. We do appreciate the thought, though!


True Blood

Alexander Skarsgard



This Swedish actor looks like he is the only reason for global warming in that light grey Calvin Klein suit. The suit, juxtaposed with a black tie on a white shirt, with black shoes and a watch is making us beg this vampire for mercy!

Stephen Moyer



Although Stephen opted to go tie-less too, he looks hot nonetheless. With those chiselled features and those at-ease looks earn him lots of points (and our love). We love his head-to-toe Ferragamo ensemble — that navy blue suit and shoes are a win!

Joe Manganiello



Joe dressed most formally at the red carpet, looking polished and elegant. His double-breasted jacket and pants by John Varvatos paired with a white shirt and a black skinny tie majorly upped his look amongst others. We love his edgy pulled back hair and that scruffy stubble.
