Category is: the blush bare blazer battle bonanza!
Men have been taking to flaunting their bare chests under formal wear for a few years now. But the shirtless suit trend went deep in 2023 and was bookended by two of the hottest twinks in the biz: Lil Nas X and Timothée Chalamet.
Back on February 4th, the “Montero” singer stormed a Pre-Grammy Awards red carpet in a scene-stealing pink colored Moschino suit that featured a graffiti-style effect throughout. The 24-year-old accessorized the topless serve with a thick diamond necklace, Steven Madden boots, and a rippling set of abs.

We are stomaching this lewk hard!
Nearly 11 months later, Chalamet set the internet on ablaze after he once again let his cleavage take the spotlight – he previously dared to bare in a sparkling shirtless ensemble at the 2022 Oscars. This time the 27-year-old’s skin show entailed rockin’ up to the London premiere of Wonka in a magenta Tom Ford suit.
A pair of brown Tom Ford boots and a Cartier necklace attempted to keep the slender star from succumbing to the elements of the late fall chill in England.
It takes nerve to be this cool — literally!
Both these studs killed it with their slinky fits, but we’re siding with queer excellence and giving this one to Lil Nas X. A taut torso makes every look pop!

Lil Nas, hands down on this one.
It’s a big win because while Nas often dresses to stun, shock or outrage, Chalamet has style for days.

Timothy Chalamet will never win a contest involving the words “bare” and “shirtless”.

Lil Nas X looks fantastic in that top photo. Whew! Both he and Timothée have great style for days, though.

They both look great, but for me Nas X wins for the green Jacket. I want that jacket.

Lil Nas X, which is totally not surprising. Montero started off as a Person who was an artist and who had convictions. He then immediately began a calculated transition into becoming the perfect entertainment industry pop culture Product. Red carpets, the fashion world, abs, photo shoots, People Magazine tidbits, the whole nine plastic yards. I wouldn’t be surprised if 2024 didn’t find the paparazzi “catching” LNX out with one of the Kardashians multiple times. (“Are they a thing?!”) Damn, I miss Montero.
