Not always, remember the moustache growing contest from GK?
And during the time period this will cover it appears that many of the platoon, including the person that Alex's character is based on, had them. Alex's character is based on Calvin Gibbs, who's in the middle:

Perhaps Alex would look better if he had a little bit of scruff to go with it by Sunday? (crosses fingers)

I remember the time well. Boyfriends and friends in the service during vietnam. Mustache regulation really was not to extend beyond the edges of your mouth. Just like in GK. I remember it did make for some weird looking mustaches, but it was a time when every guy who could grow whiskers had to have one. :smile:

Apologies, long post - I lurk and rarely comment, but I'm always a huge Alex fan and I always love reading ya'lls' insights. The dork is going to be the death of me. I love how Alex only owns like 4 Acne Studios shirts and one pair of pants, but he's traveling with two outrageously expensive watches in a tiny carry-on bag.

For the love of the gods though, please no more mustache. Between his role in The Diary of a Teenage Girl and that awful GQ photoshoot, it's traumatizing. Dude grew the 'stache in like a week- cut that nasty thing off for the Emmys and tell principal shooting on TKT to just wait three days! I agree with everything said in the past few threads re: the GQ photoshoot misstep with that disgusting piece of trash TR. That his team and Alex agreed to go along with it very greatly disappoints me.

And I think I said it here a long time ago, but YES @BuckeyeChicago and @Kitkath70 !! I want our boy to look fantastic on his huge night on the red carpet. I'm so excited for him and crossing my fingers and touching wood that he wins. I do not understand, though, how someone Alex PAYS to ensure his public appearances go smoothly does not have the couturiers making him custom suits with his latest measurements and fine tuning them at the last second. Or that JY is not having a makeup artist give him a dust of powder before he walks out when he's exhausted from traveling. He is far too beautiful to look sloppy in front of the cameras and he cannot do this now that he's moved up into the A-list. Why JY has been putting him in double-breasted suits lately that are ill-fitting for his long, tapered frame is beyond me. Why she still is putting him in prêt-à-porter couture when his gorgeous body needs very specific tailoring is alarming. At least last night he was back in a mostly ok single-breasted suit, but ugh, a mock turtle neck and untailored pants!? I feel like his team doesn't watch carefully enough and do as much as they should for him and he really needs better people. He should hire me XD. And so YES to him being in Tom Ford on the the 17th ;)

If only TKT could afford to not film him for a few days until he grows it back. :p

As for the styling: I don't mind a t-neck blazer look. And it's not as if Alex actually looks bad in it. But he can look better. And even if he looked truly terrible men can get away with looking bad at these things while ladies can't. But, this particular t-neck (not even a mock!)/blazer combo doesn't work for me because it's just not Alex-y. Also looks too heavy for mid-September in LA. And yeah, the lack of tailoring in the pants irks. And TLo agree with you on the double-breasted jackets:

"Slim English suiting is what you need, Mister, not double-breasted Italian styles."

She can't seem to dress/fit him for his body type and personality. He dressed better for professional events before she became his stylist.
I would so love to see him in Tom Ford again. But alas, not likely anytime soon.

I can't find an updated order of presentation for tomorrow's ceremony, but the last couple of years have had the comedy awards, followed by the limited series/movie awards.

I like the jacket, not sure about the pants, and it's a no for the turtleneck. I don't like the mustache either but I get it's for a role, so he gets a pass. Also, he looks beat. I just keep reading, "Let this be over soon," on his face in all the pics. He looks so tired!!

I agree but a question for everyone.... does he get the final say on what he wears? I really don't know the answer to that.
