Bandaid Cartilage, 2004
Look at this CHILD, at the Monte Carlo TV Festival! Never you mind that this child is approximately 28 years of age in this photo. I think we can all agree that he looks like a veritable fetus. (I believe he was promoting a British TV movie he made in which he played Steven Hawking. I'm sure he and Eddie Redmayne discussed this at some point.)
Balayage Keratin Treatment, 2004
This is AMAZING. You are a CHILD, sir!
Bennigans Chilis and Ioan Gruffudd, 2007
It's a relief to know that Ioan is AGELESS.
Butterfinger Candycorn, 2010
This looks like an outtake from A Very British Edition of International Male.
Bowlcut Clippers, 2010
BENEDICT. What is happening on your head?!?! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?
Backbend Catapault, 2010
This is jaunty, and also kind of like he just escaped from three days on a lifeboat after his yacht sank.
Bowlerhat Caphead, 2010
I feel like this might be a period in Cumberbunny's life that he privately looks back on as his "hat period."
Brandywine CashmereCoat, 2011
What did I just tell you?
Bowdlerize Capslock, 2011
YES, he's draped in velvet, and YES those shoes are glittery. This is not the only time he's worn them, either.
Bagel Croissant 2011
I admit that I think it's possible that Gary Oldman and his sunglasses are the real star of this shot.
Bandolier Custardcakes 2011
I just couldn't resist giving a little love to Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, and John Hurt, all in their tuxes.
Bonsai Clove 2012
Suspenders!
Brunch Cocktails 2013
We've entered the period I call, "someone got a stylist." And she or he is very good at his or her job. This coat is DIVINE.
Bandage Castoroil 2013
EVERYONE enjoys a little tie-straightening.
Baguette Camembert 2013
As well as jovial pointing.
Brie Cheddar, 2013
And/or potentially too-short scarves.
Brandy Champagne, 2013
This is quite dashing.
Bingo Crapshoot, 2013
And this is very dapper, and has the added benefit of Lady Mary and Branson, lending a hand.
Benedict Canyon, 2014
Speaking of Downton, hello, Cousin Matthew!
Benediction Catechism, 2014
And if that was the Downton era of this slideshow, now I welcome you to the part of this retrospective wherein we get to revisit a variety of outfits on Keira Knightley.
Brolly Canoodler, 2014
And who doesn't love to see a gentleman jauntily deploying an umbrella?
Bienvenue Ciao, 2014
He looks very handsome here, it's true, but I also wanted to look at this dress on Keira again.
Banana Cantaloupe, 2014
Both BC and Tom Ford wear their formal wear very well. (And, for a moment, I did think Tom was wearing a green cape.)
Bolero Crossfit, 2014
He looks very handsome here, but the real star is Windsor Castle back there.
Prince William and Bouquet Candelabra, 2014
"And I was like, 'Kate, he's NOT going to give me any Sherlock spoilers.' I mean...right?"
Boutonniere Costco, 2014
One of my favorite things about writing retrospectives like this is seeing when spouses or noteworthy exes arrive on the scene in a major way. Here's Sophie! (Who I think always looks very well-dressed.)
Beeswax Cardinals, 2014
NEVER FORGET. Any man who helps out making his own wax figure deserves a gold star.
Beehive Cockatoo, 2014
And then there was his brief flirtation with a penguin.
Bantamweight Counterweight, 2014
There's always something appealing about a man in glasses.
Bubblegum Chewinggum, 2014
The pose in this photo makes him slightly look as if THIS is his finished waxwork.
Beachy Campfire, 2015
A classic suit on Bendy, a fun boho dress for Sophie.
Bulls-eye Catamaran, 2015
I LOVED this dress. Oh, right -- this is supposed to be about him. You look smashing too, Benedict!
Blindsided Catalog, 2014
If only it weren't too late for me to make True Detective season three jokes about this photo.
Bing Cherry, 2015
At the time, I cracked that I felt like Bendy looked a bit like he was about to bring me a pina colada -- somewhere VERY posh, though. I stand by that.
Bite-Sized CandyCorn, 2015
SPORTFACES. (This was at Wimbledon.)
Bartender Comrade, 2015
Same. Except with a Hugh Grant cameo.
Bulgari Cartier, 2015
This is a very smart look on him. I love the bag.
Bohemian Commune, 2015
Cheers, indeed!
Rachel McAdams, Broadway Castmates, and SWINTON
Swinton is only vaguely amused by all of this. Your fashion retrospective was first, Tilda. It's all good.
