Johnny Depp, a walking, talking, a fedora-wearing cautionary tale, has recently made a number of highly questionable actions – but this airport appearance is something else entirely. To begin, keep in mind that this is Johnny Depp, and he’s been rocking the whole rock’n’roll aesthetic with the rings, headscarf, and eyeliner for a few years now… it’s his thing.
But this is what happens when you get so wrapped up in your sense of style – so wrapped up – that you start carrying acoustic guitars through airports. Anyway, consider this a cautionary tale about the fine line that separates a look from a fancy dress ensemble.
Despite looking dashing in a suit, DiCaprio is a down-to-earth American who enjoys the essentials when he’s not working. Of course, even as a child TV actor, his essentials were far from that, such as this Nike varsity jacket, which was designed twenty years before menswear’s collective fixation with the outerwear piece. DiCaprio’s red carpet mastery extends to his everyday life, as the actor makes traveling through an airport look like one of life’s more glamorous tasks.
DiCaprio makes a menswear 180 while promoting Body of Lies, ditching his suit jacket in favor of a must-have blue V-neck. It’s a wonderful reminder that the most successful looks don’t always contain the most parts. After finally mastering evening dress, everyone is entitled to a day off. Even if it comprises a hybrid of a bucket hat and a fedora.
