When actor Drew Starkey launched into the press tour for Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming drama Queer, he additionally took on the problem of getting to go toe-to-toe (or fairly, suit-to-suit) towards his costar, the menswear titan Daniel Craig, on successive pink carpets.
All through the Queer press run, each stars have largely worn Loewe, the Spanish luxurious label helmed by designer Jonathan Anderson, who costumed the movie. However whereas the erstwhile Bond opted to take the leading-man-style equal of a languid early retirement with his luxuriously relaxed outfits (these yellow-tinted shades are doing wonders), the newcomer Starkey has erred in direction of simple, on-trend silhouettes. Working with the veteran Hollywood stylist Warren Alfie Baker, he’s taken some dangers; a lipstick-red Valentino dinner jacket he wore to the Academy’s Governors Awards was a latest spotlight. All of the whereas, the buzzy actor has regarded totally respectable, if a bit of missing in offbeat intercourse enchantment.
That’s, till this week, when Starkey pulled as much as the Jimmy Kimmel Stay set in a retro swimsuit by Savile Row tailor Edward Sexton that made him seem like a Beatle. Carrying a single-breasted jacket in charcoal tweed, a butter-yellow shirt, and a slim black necktie mounted with a teensy gold collar pin, the actor regarded extra like himself in a swimsuit than he has in months. It didn’t harm that his vogue mullet carried the entire look into the contested realm of indie sleaze.
