Last night was the broadcast of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I’m afraid I was elsewhere in TV Land during this show, but the idea of it did inspire me nonetheless. I thought, well, we have Vicky’s Secret catering to the fashion show preferences of the male gender...what about a fashion show geared for women?
So I played a little game with myself and invented a fantasy lineup of celebrity males (living and departed alike) sporting the outfits that they’ve made famous. Maybe men are easily satisfied with a bunch of women in underwear, but we women have much broader and more interesting tastes, do we not? This is my personal list of men in their sexiest garb, a smorgasbord of male fashion hotness:
- Diego Luna in tight pants suitable for Latin dancing (“Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights”).
- John O’Hurley in tails (“Dancing with the Stars”).
- John Williams in a summer tux, conducting the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.
- Rick Springfield in leather pants with a guitar.
- Mike Portnoy in sweat, drumming for Dream Theater.
- John Krasinski in jeans and a sweater (since we normally see him in shirt and tie) (“The Office”).
- Josh Holloway in jeans. Period. (“Lost”)
- Christian Bale in a batcowl (“Batman Begins”).
- Hugh Jackman in wolverine claws (“X-Men”).
- Mel Gibson in a kilt (“Braveheart”).
- Malcolm McDowell in a toga (“Caligula”).
- Frank Langella in a cape (“Dracula”).
- Johnny Depp in pirate gear and eyeliner (“Pirates of the Caribbean”).
- Colin Firth in Regency riding clothes (“Pride and Prejudice”).
- Orlando Bloom in pointed ears with an arrow ready to let fly (“Lord of the Rings”).
- Viggo Mortensen all scruffy and dirty, brandishing a sword (“Lord of the Rings”).
- Alan Rickman in Hogwarts professorial wear (or those excellent glasses he wears in “Love Actually,” for that matter).
- Daniel Radcliffe (after puberty of course) in his Griffyndor school coat and scarf (with those excellent round glasses).
- Robert Preston in a straw boater and seersucker suit (“The Music Man”).
- Yul Brynner in Siamese royal garb (“The King and I”).
- Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson in cowboy hats and chaps (“Shanghai Noon”).
- Michael Rennie dressed for intergalactic travel (“The Day the Earth Stood Still”).
- Richard O’Brien dressed to spoof Michael Rennie (“The Rocky Horror Picture Show”).
- Sting in a sci-fi codpiece (“Dune”).
- Patrick Stewart in his Star Fleet dress uniform (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”).
- Napoleon Dynamite in moon boots, as long as he’s dancing (“Napoleon Dynamite”).
- Joaquin Phoenix in firefighting gear (“Ladder 49”).
- Ty Pennington in a tool belt.
- Noah Wylie in a lab coat (“ER”).
- Any member of the Geek Squad, complete with pocket protector (okay, this may only work for me...see also I Heart Techies).
- Mark Allen (6-time Ironman winner) in a singlet, running shorts and Nikes.
- Nathan Fillion in a long brown coat (“Serenity”/“Firefly”).
- Keanu Reeves in a long black coat (“The Matrix”).
- Hayden Christensen in black Jedi robes (“Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith”).
- Bobby Flay in chef’s whites.
- Jeff Goldblum with blue skin (“Earth Girls are Easy”).
- Gerard Butler with a mask (“The Phantom of the Opera”).
- Trey Parker in a baseketball uniform (“Baseketball”).
- Vince Vaughn in cheerleading attire (“Old School”).
