From fashion week to film festivals, celebrities are posting up in pseudo–Double RL log cabins at Telluride or hopping off boats in Venice. This is a busy time for folks in the entertainment industry and while they’re tied up promoting whatever is about to grace the silver screen, now is the perfect time to pull some inspiration from what they’re wearing.
We’ve got a former 007 agent in Pierce Brosnan who looks like he’d still be the best candidate for the next James Bond film, one of my favorite characters from I Love L.A., and ’90s heartthrob, Josh Hartnett who has, somehow, also turned into a 2020s heartthrob.
Whether you’re channeling your Y2K crush in a battered hat and moth-ridden graphic tee, looking to drop a couple bands on a shirt, or need further proof that a black or brown leather shoe can be the nucleus of any incredible fit, consider this your not-so-gentle nudge in the right direction.
Josh Hartnett
Josh Hartnett looks better now than he did back in the ’90s, which seems frankly unfair. His fit proves that a pop of red will always elevate a relatively simple fit. A drapey long-sleeved tee is an unsung fall wardrobe staple, and tucking it into high-waisted pants bolsters the fit just enough so that it doesn’t feel stagnant. This is just another example that color is best served in doses.
Pierce Brosnan
Sir Brosnan is putting on a masterclass in how to get away with prints on prints on prints. It all comes down to the cut and fabrication: a wool suit with a cotton contrast-collar shirt and knit tie that complement rather than clash. The lesson? If everything is making noise, at least make sure it’s singing in the same key.
Claire Foy
Here’s a not so gentle reminder that it’s okay to loosen up. British darling Claire Foy’s louche tailoring is yet another glowing example of why a suit should be comfortable. A khaki-colored suit is just as essential as the prerequisite navy version, and brown suede or leather shoes will work ten times out of ten.
Zo In-sung
Zo In-sung has been on a heater with his three major feature films this year, and when you have a jam-packed schedule, remember to KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. A double-breasted blazer, form-fitting tee, light-wash straight-leg jeans, and loafers. It’s a layup for In-sung, and for you, too. Sometimes the best styling trick is knowing when to stop.
Sam Rockwell
Mr. Rockwell pulls off the all-black look with the white-sock-and-black-loafer combo. It's a style move that’s been adopted by the menswear social media masses but leave it to Rockwell to add a touch of flair. A black long-sleeved polo and black dress pants will always pair well together and the collapsible loafer adds just the right amount of ease to the whole kit.
Lee Do-hyun
The South Korean actor arrived at Prada’s SS27 show in this corporate-core-meets-boy-next-door striped long-sleeved look. Sometimes a horizontal stripe is all you need to add some visual interest, especially when the bottom half of the outfit is monochromatic. Consider this your official notice to hop aboard the stripes train before it leaves the station.
Javier Ambrossi
With his upcoming film La bola negra, Javier Ambrossi is making a strong case for being one of the best-dressed actors and directors around right now. Every guy should have some version of what he’s wearing: a black blazer, blue oxford shirt, olive chinos, and Chelsea boots. But the real move is in the styling. Unbutton the shirt a bit, make sure the blazer is unstructured so it wears more like a denim jacket than a dinner jacket, and forget about obsessing over no-break hems.
Mahershala Ali
Speaking of color in doses, if you’re going headfirst, this is how it’s done. Mr. Ali is sporting a matte pastel-blue suit, paired with cognac-colored boots to temper the brightness. Understanding which colors complement your skin tone is one of those unspoken rules of getting dressed, and his stylist, Van Van Alonso, absolutely crushed it here. The suit is excellent, but the real A1 detail is the way the brown in the boots plays off the tortoise frames. That’s coordination without looking like you coordinated.
Jordan Firstman
The surf-sleaze look is being fully owned by Firstman. He’s making the case that, done the right way, hopping on trends isn’t always a bad thing. Graphic tees, a hat that looks like it’s been through several minor wars, plus approach shoe-inspired footwear—it all adds up to a fit that perfectly encapsulates what it means to get dressed in 2026.
