Which fashion house designed Jared Leto’s white suit for the 2014 Academy Awards?

The story behind the answer

Saint Laurent designed Jared Leto’s white suit for the 2014 Academy Awards.

Leto wore the white Saint Laurent suit at the 86th Academy Awards in 2014, pairing it with a black bow tie and a red accent. The clean white jacket gave the actor a highly recognizable silhouette on a carpet dominated by conventional black tuxedos.

The appearance was especially notable because Leto won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Dallas Buyers Club. His long hair and formal tailoring created a deliberately distinctive look that was widely photographed during the ceremony.

The fashion house’s name was Saint Laurent, following the branding used by the Paris label under designer Hedi Slimane. It is sometimes called Yves Saint Laurent in casual descriptions, but the specific contemporary label for this suit was Saint Laurent. Leto’s later red-carpet outfits came from several different designers.
