BAZAAR breaks down these leading men’s red carpet style
Oscar-winning Mexican director Guillermo del Toro’s film adaptation of Gothic novel Frankenstein for Netflix has been one of the most anticipated releases of 2025, especially when A-list actors Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac were announced as the main cast. Almost as hotly anticipated is the red carpet fashion from this stellar cast of names because where they go, style follows.
Jacob Elordi, the global brand ambassador for Bottega Veneta, has emerged as a fashion darling in the last few years. Known for his relaxed fits and personal accessories, from vintage bags to several paperbacks in his back pocket, he brings an air of nonchalance to his on- and off-duty looks. Meanwhile, the seasoned Oscar Isaac has established his own style identity in Hollywood, known for impeccably tailored suits and polished grooming.
As expected, the Frankenstein press tour has been a delight for fans of fashion and film. The two leading men did not disappoint with their red carpet style. In fact, they set some trends in menswear and grooming that we predict will have the world in a chokehold for a while.

The Return of Polka Dots
The Venice Film Festival 2025 was the first stop of the Frankenstein press tour. Oscar Isaac sets the style tone. He shakes up the typical red carpet uniform by bringing back the polka dot print.

Jacob Elordi adds subtle bling with 14k gold grill, punctuated with a mounted emerald stone, created by Maison Raksha. The jewellery brand is a favourite among celebrities including Sabrina Carpenter, Post Malone, and Kylie Jenner.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi flouts normal menswear styling by going full monochrome. To break the monotony of the colour scheme, he chooses to show a bit more skin, punctuating the outfit with gold accessories and sunglasses.

There’s no better way to rep the character you play than wearing it on your shirt. Jacob Elordi wears classic imagery of Frankenstein’s creature throughout this press tour, including an adorable hand-drawn T-shirt by a 12-year-old designer who creates custom pieces under Dylan’s T-Shirt Club.
A Scarf Moment
Instead of a regular tie, Oscar Isaac channels his character Victor Frankenstein’s scene-stealing red scarf at the BFI London Film Festival 2025.
