If there’s one piece of suiting advice we here at GQ have stood by for years and years and years now, it’s this: Always bet on brown. Dark brown suits are every bit as versatile and flattering as navy or gray, but just a pinch swervier and more unexpected. You will almost always be the only person in the room in a brown suit, and you’ll look all the more cool and confident as a result. And at the Emmy Awards 2024, Taylor Zakhar Perez absolutely got the memo.

Decked out in full custom Gucci, the Red, White & Royal Blue star doubled down on the brown by pairing his sharp double-breasted ensemble—subtly printed with the Italian house’s monogram and amped up by a single red button—with a tonal shirt and tie. And to prove yet another point we’re always hammering on about, Perez polished his chocolatey look off with a hefty pair of shiny black oxfords. Thanks for reading GQ, bud.
For all his menswear expertise, however, Perez told ET he still knows “nothing” about the upcoming Red, White & Royal Blue sequel. “It’s because of moments like this, where I just want to overshare,” he joked.
