Since Jared Leto stepped onto the red carpet during awards season last year, we knew everyone in the fashion and beauty industry would be obsessing over his glorious ombre locks and second day style. That, of course, got us thinking: are male celebrities totally having a moment when it comes to red carpet hairstyles? As if we aren’t jealous enough of the ladies of Hollywood with their perfect updos (braids, ponytails, buns – you name it!), now we have to add the dudes onto that list, too. But judging by how great the guys are doing, we guess it can’t hurt to see what the dapper men of the industry are bringing to the red carpet. From Chris Hemsworth‘s perfect pushed-back look to Adam Levine’s undercut to Johnny Depp’s voluminous wavy bob, we rounded up 10 of the best male celebrity hairstyles.

Ombre is definitely no easy look to master, except maybe when you’re Jared Leto or these female stars, who make it look effortless. For those who prefer to keep their hair off their necks, that’s where male buns and ponytails come into play. Brad Pitt and David Beckham are the two hot celebs that comes to mind when it comes to sporting a low-maintenance man-pony, but we’ve got to give it Jake Gyllenhaal for wearing the man bun proud. However, lo and behold, the one gentleman’s hairstyle we’re currently obsessed with right now isn’t even a movie star. Cary Fukunaga may not hold the same celeb status as the men in this gallery, but this award-winning director of True Detective is definitely on everybody’s radar (and every girl’s new crush) since he stepped on stage at the 2014 Emmys, braids and all. Your move, Leto.
