With the holidays approaching and next year's awards season on the horizon, celebrities remain active across screenings, press junkets, and public appearances. From SoFi Stadium suites to NBA courtsides, these stars are offering fresh inspiration for those looking to update their wardrobes. Whether it is embracing corduroy, reviving vintage graphic tees, or trying the jazz shoe trend, this month's celebrity style circuit provides ample guidance.
Ethan Hawke recently attended a SAG screening wearing a corduroy suit that evokes the academic aesthetic of Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society. However, Hawke subverts the professorial look by pairing the acorn-colored suit with a distressed graphic tee and tinted sunglasses. Completing the ensemble are well-worn dark brown Sambas instead of traditional dress shoes, creating a vibe closer to a stoner student than an adjunct professor.
Julia Garner, star of Netflix's upcoming series The Altruists, demonstrates that monochromatic dressing need not be dull. She wears a flowy burgundy trench coat left open to avoid a stiff appearance, paired with tinted sunglasses. This combination injects just enough color into the outfit while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
Harry Styles is wrapping up his Together, Together tour and has been spotted in New York sporting a look that channels 1990s skater culture. His outfit features a long-sleeved tee layered under a T-shirt, light-wash jeans, and all-white sneakers. The addition of Apple earbuds completes an aesthetic that feels gloriously analog in a digital world.
Glenn Close offers a masterclass in building an outfit around a statement piece by wearing a jacket from the 1984 film The Natural, in which she co-starred with Robert Redford. She pairs this iconic garment with navy slacks, loafers, and a crisp white Oxford shirt, leveraging her film history to elevate the look.
Nicholas Hoult tackles the in-flight outfit dilemma with a charcoal-hued Canadian tuxedo, proving that denim-on-denim remains a reliable choice. He offsets the double denim with black boots and a dad cap. The durable fabric provides warmth on cold flights while standing up to potential turbulence-induced spills or reclining mishaps.
Alexander Skarsgård continues the trend of pairing age-old graphic tees with Chuck Taylors, adding an open trench coat for extra flair. Standing at 6'4" with a distinct jawline, the Swedish actor proves that this combination is nearly foolproof on his frame.
Austin Abrams challenges the fashion rule against mixing black and brown by combining a black shirt and blazer with khaki pleated chinos. The look leans into Y2K corporate-core aesthetics but gains attitude through the inclusion of baggy trousers and jazz shoes.
