Will Smith is a big movie star and has been one for a very long time. What would he choose to wear to promote his new superhero movie at fancy premieres in New York and London?
Why brown and blue suits, as if he's going to the latest formal after work function...
Maybe Smith’s cool movie star days are behind him. He's now dad to Jaden and Willow who are the current arbiters of style in the Smith family. How about Joel Kinnaman then? He’s rising star who hopes to go up to the next level with his first above the line part in a major studio release. What would he wear to to the film’s premieres? How can he ensure his pictures are talked about?
Same.
The press tour for Suicide Squad has been exhausting. No one with even the tiniest interest in movies could escape the constant onslaught. So it was a breath of fresh air every time Jared Leto appeared on the red carpet.
No boring blue / brown banker’s suits for him. He’s a movie star not a corporate drone trying to rise above middle management. Colorful, different silhouettes made him stand out. Not only among his many other male co-stars but among all other male stars who ventured out this summer to shell out for their movies. Because those others mostly stuck to dad style. Even Swedish Tarzan didn't try very hard to impress.
I’m not defending Leto's shenanigans, which are plenty and plenty annoying. I just like to look at him. Specially on the red carpet.
Earlier in 2016 at the Oscars and at a Gucci fashion show
Some might have issues with color or fit. Some might say he's in a rut with one designer, Alessandro Michele of Gucci. But there’s no denying he always tries to bring it. Now just cool it with the dead rats.
And yet he was endlessly mocked. Why does no one mock dreary red carpet suits from about 99% of male stars? Again not defending Leto because it seems he has no sense of humor, as he didn’t respond too well to the ribbing. See Jared, I was trying to write something positive about you but you make it so very hard. Still can’t wait to see you what you’ll wear next time you go out of the house.
What do you think of Leto's fashion choices?
