Austin Butler has officially made his swoon-worthy arrival on the 95th annual Academy Awards carpet.
Hollywood's buzziest leading man appeared at tonight's Oscars ceremony at the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre wearing a sleek black velvet suit by Saint Laurent. He paired the look with a classic white button-down, a black bow tie, black dress shoes with a glossy sheen, and Cartier jewelry.
Butler is nominated in the category of Best Actor for his starring role in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, in which he plays the iconic King of Rock 'n' Roll.
So far, he has been enjoying this year's awards season, garnering wins at the Golden Globes and British Academy Film Awards, and a nod at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Butler previously opened up about learning how to embody Elvis Presley for the screen in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"It was trying to see everything as if for the first time, without any preconceived idea of who Elvis was," he said. "Try[ing] to get down to the core, to his humanity. There were many different ways in which to approach that—with a year and a half of time, there [were] many things that I tried that brought me straight to the external things. And then other things where I'm just focusing so much on his internal life that I lost the specificity of something that he may do physically. It was a constant back and forth. I'd look at, say, the 'Hound Dog' performance. And I would want to get very specific—exactly the angle of his hand, or the angle of his head, or how he got up on his toes. And sometimes Polly would say, 'Let's pull back. What does the music actually feel like? What if you were to perform this song, just the way that the music is moving you?' And so constantly trying to get to why he does what he does, what it actually felt like inside of him."
