Kit Connor and the Power of Wide Lapels at the 2025 Oscars

Kit Connor redefines elegance at the 2025 Oscars with a wide-lapelled tuxedo, blending ’70s nostalgia with contemporary sophistication.

On the 2025 Oscars red carpet, Kit Connor proved that wide lapels are not just a retro nod but a bold statement. Wearing a classic black tuxedo by Giuliva Heritage, the Heartstopper actor took the ’70s cut to another level, extending the lapels almost to his shoulder line. This detail, combined with the jacket’s double-breasted design, enhances his silhouette and highlights his well-toned physique.

The rest of the look maintains impeccable balance. A crisp white shirt, a neatly tied four-in-hand knot, and patent leather boots add a refined yet effortless touch. But where Connor truly sets himself apart is in the accessories: a diamond brooch featuring interlocking circles and—if the eye doesn’t deceive—a Tag Heuer Monaco on his wrist.

Since his breakout in 2021, Kit Connor has built a style identity that feels both natural and sophisticated. We’ve seen him master the ’90s action star aesthetic and modernize an Emporio Armani suit. Now, wide lapels are his new territory, and he wears them with the confidence of a true style maestro.
