Bad Bunny was recently bulging out of his Calvins in this post, and before that he was crowned Dazzler of the Day in this post. This is just a gratuitous thirst trap for those who once came to these parts in search of such prettiness, as seen in categories like Male Models and Male Nudity.
And if that’s enough for you, there are always these categories to tick your fancies:
Calvin Klein has engaged Bad Bunny as the body and face of his spring campaign, so we have these sizing shots by photographer Mario Sorrenti to rival the recent display of Jeremy Allen White in his own Calvins. Bad Bunny has already been a Dazzler of the Day here, and he cements that status with this turn in the iconic boxer briefs.

Looking back twenty years ago has been a trip – especially when looking at how young I was, how vain, how foolish, how ridiculous, how lovely and how wistfully tinged with innocence. On the cusp of thirty that year, I felt as old as I had ever felt – how quaint that seems now that I teeter on fifty.
The musical accompaniment of this, a cover of Madonna’s ‘Dress You Up‘ given an immaculate glow-up by the brilliant Darren Hayes, pays tribute to those moments I felt beyond the reach of mere mortals. May you have felt such a brush with greatness in your mind as well.
…Where Vanity lies with Divinity…
This is the tale of how a vain little boy grew into a vain young man.
Vanity was his weapon of choice against encroaching insecurity.
Boisterous, attention-getting, contagious vanity.
Cruel, vicious, wicked vanity.
He wasn’t much to look at, but through sheer force of will
he forged himself into someone desirable.
Through hell-bent tenacious rage he willed himself handsome,
and one day it suddenly came to be true.
… no matter how much he was loved…
~ The Divine Diva Tour: A Fairy’s Tale ~
At first I thought it was airbrushed trickery, but online peeps are claiming that Pete Davidson had actually undergone a long and painful regimen of tattoo-removal, so I’m not sure what to think of these shots for the Reformation brand, other than they have granted Pete this Dazzler of the Day crowning (thanks in no small part to that leopard-pattern Sofia tote on the couch in one of the shots, available here for anyone who wants to fulfill my lifelong leopard-tote-dream). No, seriously, I want that tote. I don’t care if it’s too late for Valentine’s Day. No cap.
As for Davidson, I’ve been a minor fan ever since his skit with RuPaul. Hilarity.
David Beckham should have done an ad like this for his own line of underwear and it might still be in production. Instead, he’s delivering his finest assets for the current line of BOSS Bodywear in the commercial seen below. It’s been far too long since Beckham has been in his skivvies, and this happy renaissance marks a return to fine form. See all the links below for further evidence of his bodacious brilliance.

This is only a partial clickbait-and-switch, as I am offering the draw of Jeremy Allen White in his underwear but also supplying a couple of links of more of him dazzling in this post– so there is some substance behind the prettiness. Take a moment and click on those links to get your fill of the bulging Jeremy Allen White, and scroll down this delicious bulge listing, then come back and join us for the real reason for this post: a celebration of August.
I haven’t felt very joyful these past few weeks, which is typical near the end of summer and the passing of another birthday. It also sets a very questionable stage for the fall season here on ALANILAGAN.com. Our coquette summer is coming to its inevitable close, and it is time. The contrast between what is about to be unleashed here is profound. Perhaps a bit jarring. Day and night. Brace for whiplash, because if I’m not ready for this jelly, you are definitely not ready for this jelly.
Before that, here’s a quick recap or recaps for anyone who wants to attempt making sense out of the past month’s trajectory. I certainly can’t, but I’m in it. It’s impossible to see the forest through the trees.
August 2024 – Week the Second.
August 2024 – Week the Fourth.
Currently making a play for Olympic gold in Paris (notably in the Men’s Tennis Doubles team – see partner Rafael Nadal in his underwear here) this is Carlos Alcaraz. He’s made his own name for himself in tennis, starting his competitive journey when he was just 15 years old – all those years of work and competition are paying off. He also had his own underwear moment, as seen here, which puts the cherries on this Olympic Spotlight sundae.
Digital creator, Andrew Christian Trophy Boy, and TikTok sensation Joven Calloway earns his first crowning as Dazzler of the Day thanks to his body of work. That’s all. Follow him on Instagram here.
While the title and flagrant featured photo for this post is admittedly nothing more than clickbait, the content is, like the subject at hand, much more substantial. This post is to celebrate the opening of BDXY – a clothing and lifestyle brand founded by actor Luke Evans, Fran Tomas and Christopher Brown. Already a favorite on these pages, and a beloved Dazzler of the Day here, Evans brings his own elegant sophistication and taste to his first fashion endeavor, lending a classic vibe to a new brand that aims to serve any gentleman with a desire for refinement, sexiness, and strength.
From the sexy basics of underwear to the sultry scented collection of candles, BDXY is laying a groundwork for a line that will undoubtedly expand. For now, keeping things simple and basic in underwear (briefs and boxer briefs in black, white, and green) and t-shirts and tank tops (vests) of multiple colors and logo options, along with some daringly sexy swimwear, is a very smart start, and once you have a stable customer base, the rest of the world will surely follow. Personally, I’m favoring ‘The Unit’ underwear in black or green, and ‘The Atmos’ Swimbrief Mirrorzag – both in size Medium for anyone considering future gifts (just saying!)
You know I love a company that gives some intriguing background to its inception, offering clients a glimpse into the creative spark that started it all, and a story of how it came to fruition. BDXY has a great origin, and a compelling mission, as seen on their website as follows:
Founded by actor Luke Evans in partnership with Fran Tomas (architect and project manager) and Christopher Brown (stylist and creative consultant). BDXY is an apparel and lifestyle brand with a strong focus on classic style with a contemporary twist.
Taking cues from the Classic Hollywood actor, BDXY mixes nostalgia with modern and sustainable everyday staples. We work with new technology, fabrics and manufacturing processes to deliver a wardrobe that exudes alluring appeal with considered design.
The Origin of ‘BDXY’
The letters are pronounced BDXY – the first two letters are from the word ‘Bold’, while the second two are from the word ‘Sexy’, which describes the aesthetic of the line.
“It’s as much a feeling and a personal energy, as a description of how one looks. You can feel bold and sexy in absolutely nothing, a ball gown, a tuxedo or any kind of attire you wear. Bold is a strong, confident word and sexy is something that is appealing in many different ways.”
“Bold” exudes a vibrant energy, a daring spirit that embraces challenges and stands out with confidence. On the other hand, “Sexy” carries a magnetic allure, creating a vibe that’s captivating and irresistible. Together, they evoke a dynamic aura, blending fearlessness with sensuality, leaving an impression that’s both powerful and enticing.
Starting Point ~ The starting point came from a T-shirt, our hero product, as a strong foundation piece inspired by screen icons of the Old Hollywood era – think Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen. With this in mind, the BDXY line is designed to make you feel comfortable and confident, everywhere, always.
Sustainability is an important factor close to all our hearts. BDXY pays attention to the planet by focusing on eco-friendly methods and natural fabrications. We use ethically sourced fibres as well as recycled and upcycled materials, while working closely with a family business in Portugal. This approach helps breathe new life into humble staples while honouring our commitment to minimising environmental impact.
Inspiration ~ The naming of each piece in the first collection was inspired by Luke’s profession: on a film set, every crew member has a specific job title unique to the industry. Most have been around since the dawn of film and television production. The Stunt, The Focus, The Gaffer, The Captain, The Boom… The legacy and essential nature of these roles and more, speaks to the enduring appeal of our garments.
Aspirational ~Travel is one of the most valuable gifts you can give to yourself and others. It is this love of travel, people and places that are at the core of our collections and capture a moment in time of memories and happiness. Each piece is rooted in a shared appreciation of quality fabrics and timeless design for all body shapes.
From his ‘Beauty Papers’ cover shoot from a couple of years ago, these shots show Harry Styles in and out of his underwear (though still in a pair of fishnets). Styles has been pushing the envelope of gender presentation for years (appearing on the cover of ‘Vogue‘ in a dress, even if it should have been Billy Porter), and I’m always here for such challenges.

Last month Dominic Albano celebrated the first anniversary of his underwear enterprise ‘Dominic Albano Collection‘ and in a world that is so dominated by the likes of monoliths like Amazon, it’s good to see a small business with the owner at its helm still making strides. His line has expanded from the early days, and he remains the face and body of his merchandise.
I just placed my first order for a couple of items, and it sounds like Albano is making room for a new seasonal line. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, particularly regarding the feel of the fabric, which is the main point of any decent pair of underwear.
According to Albano’s website, the key to the comfort level is the fabric:
All of our underwear is made from Tencel, a brand name for a type of Lyocell fabric. We design our underwear using Tencel for its extreme softness against the skin. Our customers have noticed that they don’t even feel the fabric while wearing them. They’re both lightweight and nude-feeling. Our fabric also has stretch and flexibility, perfect for athletics and exercise, and is great for all body types.
Our fabric is eco-friendly, sustainable and biodegradable. We pride ourselves on having environmentally friendly and responsibly made products.D.A.C. underwear was thoughtfully designed for year round, multipurpose wear, including exercise. Tencel fabric is nonallergenic, good for those with sensitive skin, offers breathability and airflow to prevent heat retention.
Check out the Dominic Albano Collection website here to order your own pair.
Jeremy Allen White is on a roll – first he debuted his Calvin Klein work to the world, and within a week one a Golden Globe of this performance in ‘The Bear’. He’s also been our Dazzler of the Day here, and put in a requisite shirtless sneak-peek in this gratuitous post. Here are a few more shots from Mert Alas for that instantly-iconic CK campaign. Here’s to more CK fun in the future.
Lest anyone forget, Aaron Taylor-Johnson walked in his Calvins so Jeremy Allen White could run.

Compare and contrast Aaron with Jeremy below. Report back.
Show-stopping performances seem to come naturally for Jeremy Allen White, who earns his first Dazzler of the Day crowning for being the current ambassador of the legendary Calvin Klein underwear brand. More impressively, he’s been part of several cultural touchstones of the past year – ‘The Bear’ and ‘The Iron Claw’ – which simply cements his dazzling status. [See other CK Ambassadors Shawn Mendes, Maluma, and Noah Centineo for further viewing pleasures.]
Victoria Beckham has blessed us not only with Posh Spice, but also with these BTS pics of her husband David Beckham doing various routines in nothing save his Calvin Kleins. (Strange, for someone who has his very own underwear brand, but to each their own.) Victoria has gifted us with a glimpse at David Beckham’s naked ass in this post, and occasionally appeared with him in underwear ads over a decade ago.
Getting a “private” view of what M. Beckham gets to see on the daily is always a thrill.
