Beauty Break: The Men of Moonlight

Moonlight's surprise win was quite a way to wrap Black History Month!  Even more surprising (we all knew people loved Moonlight... we just didn't know the industry loved it this much) was that the day after the Oscars, the cast of Moonlight were revealed as Calvin Klein underwear models. Obviously this was planned in advance but what fortune for Calvin Klein that they have the Oscar winning team in their skivvies this week instead of merely the Oscar runner up team. 

Here's Oscar winner Mahershala Ali...

What follows after the jump, though, is more than just underwear advertisements. But consider this fair warning -- Trevante Rhodes underwear pics are brain-meltingly hot. We also have to talk red carpet and the unsung ANTM posing of Ashton Sanders. More after the jump...

But that's the underwear ads. 

They also clean up well in tuxes. How fun is this photo of all three Chirons?

Perhaps because he's not truly famous yet and only in his early 20s Ashton Sanders hasn't yet won as much career mileage as the adult leads of their new classic (Trevante Rhodes, Naomie Harris, and Mahershala Ali)

Here are Ashton and Alex at a recent Calvin Klein fashion show

But some fashion sites and twitter feeds have already latched on, with awe, at how stylish Sanders is, how model savvy he is with clothes.  But he still needs more exposure. It's not wisdom of crowd knowledge like "Trevante Rhodes is Hot!" or "Mahershala Ali had such an amazing year!" pop culture prevalance.

Here's what Ashton wore to the VF's Oscar party, after ditching his tux... 

and here he is wearing multiple hats this year

Which one of the Moonlight men's careers are you most excited about at this very moment? 

Let me just quote our pal Chris to wrap this beauty break up...
