Dev, who is up for the Best Supporting Actor gong at the ceremony, looked to be completely unphased  by the hype surrounding him this awards season.

The London-born star opted to travel in both comfort and style as he rocked an on-point laid-back look.

Opting for an office-casual theme, the Slumdog Millionaire teamed a baby blue shirt with a white tee and sate chinos.

Adding a wintry edge to his look, the Oscar-nominated star threw on a black sheerling-lined jacket.

Rounding off his look, the star slipped a pair of battered tan Oxfords on, whilst he slung a bag over one shoulder and pulled a case along.

Wearing his long black hair in a shaggy and care-free manner, Dev also sported a beard which appeared to be on the wild and chicly unkempt side of things.
