The many tuxedos of Oscars host Neil Patrick Harris

Oscars host Neil Patrick Harris made a few cringe-inducing jokes on Sunday night, and the general consensus was that the “Gone Girl” actor fell rather flat, despite his formidable singing voice in the opening number song and dance with actress Anna Kendrick.

Say what you will about the actor and hosting skills, but what you can't deny is NPH's fantastic style. In fact, he changed into five impeccably-tailored tuxedos and dinner jackets throughout the evening -- and not a wrinkle nor a pucker was left to chance.

With the help of stylist Sam Spector, Harris looked legen....wait for it.....wait for it.....wait for it....you get the point.

We first spotted the first-time Oscar host on the red carpet wearing a smart looking custom grey tuxedo by Brunello Cucinelli. The satin shawl lapels were charming and the tailoring was outstanding. We can only assume Harris had an arsenal of expert tailors ensuring the tiniest of details was attended to. Kudos on the perfect break in his pants.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you wear a classic black tuxedo. NPH showed everyone how to do formalwear the right way by kicking off the ceremony in a classic black shawl lapel tuxedo by Dunhill.

Jared Leto’s powder blue suit gave everyone a major style shakeup, but Harris chose to remain ultra stylish in a more subtle way. He utilized colour in the form of a great burgundy suit jacket by Valentino paired with black dress pants.

No word on whether NPH and Common exchanged style philosophies prior to the Academy Awards, but they definitely wore similar navy velvet dinner jackets. The Oscar host wore Tom Ford while Common wore Prada.
