How can Brad Pitt get any hotter?
The A-list movie star has been a heartthrob for more than three decades straight and is no stranger to an eye-catching look, having experimenting on and off the red carpet with skirts, thigh-high leather boots, man buns and buzzcuts in recent years.
Pitt’s also an entrepreneur; he launched a clothing line and a skincare range in 2022, the latter inspired by his ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop.
Now, the 61-year-old actor is cementing his status as a style icon — with current lady love Ines de Ramon by his side.
Though Pitt typically hasn’t worked with a stylist in a formal capacity, he’s tapped two heavy hitters during the promotional tour for his newest movie, “F1.”
Off the red carpet, Taylor McNeill — who is the mastermind behind Timothée Chalamet’s internet-breaking “A Complete Unknown” press tour as well as Kendrick Lamar’s viral flared Super Bowl jeans — is working her magic on Brad.
The superstar put the Hollywood vet in Adidas sneakers, silk shirts, velvet blazers and oversized jeans — a mix of whimsical pieces ripped straight from the runway and sourced from vintage Italian fashion brands.
“a best ever for him!” one fan commented on McNeill’s Instagram showcasing one of her looks for Pitt. “Ahh it was you!” another said, while a third agreed, “I saw this fit and was impressed, make sense now.”
Though the “Ocean’s 11” star may be borrowing some plays from Chalamet — who, despite being half Pitt’s age, actually shares a somewhat similar style sensibility, not to mention an even more famous girlfriend — he’s still suiting up at red carpet premieres.
Enter a second stylist: George Cortina, who put the hunk in the aforementioned Saint Laurent leather boots on the cover of GQ just last month.
Cortina, who works regularly with the men’s fashion mag as well as Vanity Fair, V, Elle and more, has long been a collaborator with Pitt. However, the “F1” run is a bit of a departure for the actor — and, naturally, he broke a few fashion rules in the process.
The stylist told GQ that the pair decided he’d wear handmade suits from legendary Savile Row tailor Anderson & Sheppard to the film’s premieres, but in a rainbow of colors and seldom-used fabrics.
Thus far, Pitt has worn lilac, sherbet orange and emerald green everywhere from Mexico City to London.
“Bespoke is a different animal because you have to know what you’re doing. Otherwise, your tailor will make a beautiful suit for you that’s impeccably cut, but you might end up looking like Prince Charles,” Cortina told GQ of the array.
“Essentially all of the fabrics that Brad is wearing were basically fabrics that have never been used before for this purpose.”
Pitt isn’t the only one who’s brought in new wardrobe help lately. De Ramon, whom the actor’s been dating since 2022, tapped top stylist Dani Michelle to outfit her for the press tour.
Michelle, whose other clients include Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, has certainly delivered high-voltage looks so far, dressing de Ramon in a Chanel halter crop top and low-slung feathered skirt at the NYC premiere of “F1” on June 16.
De Ramon, who is a top executive at high-fashion jewelry brand Anita Ko, followed it up with a glittering Fendi Couture gown covered in micro-crystals and sequins, which she paired with a matching Nano Baguette purse with beaded fringe in London.
With the Dubai premiere just around the corner and the film’s Apple TV+ release on June 27, we can only imagine how Pitt and de Ramon plan to end the promo tour with a grand finale.
