Weekly Instagram Roundup: Luke Evans, Tom Ford, and More

This week’s complete social snapshot, distilled for your pleasure.

From the hottest celebrity parties to the regretful morning-after shots, ESSENTIAL HOMME‘s Weekly Instagram Roundup brings all of the hottest designer, model, and trendsetting pics from the week directly to you. After all, no one has time to scroll through anything but the best.

Luke Evans

ESSENTIAL HOMME October/November 2016 cover star Luke Evans shared a first look at his character, the self-obsessed Gaston, from Disney‘s upcoming “Beauty and the Beast” live action film. Not as conceited as the character he portrays, Evans was quick to shout out his trusty sidekick Le Fou as well, played by Josh Gad.

Tom Ford

Fashion icon turned in-demand Hollywood director, Tom Ford was honored this week at the 2016 Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards, following in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps to receive the coveted Film Innovator Award. His latest motion picture endeavor, “Nocturnal Animals,” is gearing up for a cutthroat Oscar race when it premieres in theaters December 9, 2016.

Opening Ceremony

The Weeknd has certainly had a very busy week – from a new Puma collaboration to announcing a massive North American Starboy tour, it’s no surprise that Opening Ceremony, the cool kid’s fashion safe haven, announced that all Starboy tour merch is now available for the masses in-store and online.

Dover Street Market New York

Autumn is proving to be a busy time for Gosha Rubchinskiy – after announcing his upcoming campaign with Topman, the Moscow artist launched his new, self-titled Eau de Toilette and accompanying perfume book at Dover Street Market New York on Thursday.

i.am+

will.i.am urged fans to get #buttonedup with the recently released i.am+ BUTTONS bluetooth headphones. Guest starring fashion heavy-hitters like Kendall Jenner, Shaun Ross, and India Love, the metallic-dream video announces a candy-coated followup to the brand’s previous Farfetch collab.

Tommy Hilfiger

After launching the nostalgic Tommy Jeans 2.0 campaign last month, American fashion staple Tommy Hilfiger announced his new book, “American Dreamer: My Life in Fashion and Business,” at a soiree of elbow-rubbing esteem. Cheesing with the one and only Naomi Campbell was only the start of the fun.
