Who: Jamie Foxx
Where: Maxim Hot 100 Party, Los Angeles
Despite well-documented feuds with LL Cool J and Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx paints a more harmonious picture in his wardrobe. During an appearance at Maxim’s Hot 100 party, the Baby Driver star went full varsity in a statement jacket best anchored by all-American jeans and trainers. Nothing to argue about here.
Who: Stormzy
Where: Glastonbury Festival 2017
Worthy Farm, you are not worthy. After a standout year thus far, Stormzy placed the jewel in the crown at Glastonbury with a retro Adidas tracksuit. Not only was homage paid to all the great rap monarchs – RUN DMC, Diddy, Joe Budden and the like – it also made a befitting costume for the the new king of grime.
Who: Victor Cruz
Where: Louis Vuitton SS18 Show, Paris
Being a free agent means less time on the pitch, and more time at Paris Fashion Week. During the standard pre-show celeb rush at Louis Vuitton, American footballer Cruz scored in a look as simple as it is modern – tailored trousers for a flattering shape, and a graphic tee for an MVP statement.
Who: Cameron Dallas
Where: What I See Brooklyn Beckham Book Launch, London
Ugh, bloggers – sorry, influencers. Not only do they get paid comical amounts to take selfies, they do so in standout looks. Case in point, Cameron Dallas. The Vine star turned D&G frontman opted for a staple navy blazer dressed down with ripped white denims at Brooklyn Beckham’s book launch, modernising the look further with a choice double chain. Double-tap.
Who: Brandon Flowers
Where: Glastonbury Festival 2017
Sure, his band may have had their last hit nearly a decade ago, but frontman Brandon Flowers is still killing it in 2017. During a well-received show at Glastonbury, the 36-year-old went for all-black – which sounds dry for the Pyramid Stage – but amped up the showmanship with fluoro printed lapels. Brandy, you’re a star.
Who: David Beckham
Where: London
David Beckham’s style is much like his McDonald’s order (a Big Mac, if you didn’t know): solid, classic and lifted by a secret ingredient. Though instead of a weird tangy sauce, Golden Balls’ omission of a tie is your key takeaway here.
Who: Big Sean
Where: BET Awards 2017, Los Angeles
Big in name, big on texture – Big Sean went for all the feels at this year’s BET Awards. Dressed in a velvet jacket and sweatpants, this was undoubtedly a big statement but tempered by a staple white tee and simple
Who: Joe Manganiello
Where: 2017 NHL Awards, Las Vegas
Vegas: a likely venue for a Magic Mike alumnus. Thankfully however, Joe Manganiello lost the velcro rip-off pants in favour of a far safer look; a glove-fit failsafe two-piece that, hopefully, stayed on for the duration.
