He was once married to Jennifer Aniston, one of the most stunning, ageless women in Hollywood. When you’re Brad Pitt, this is par for the course. Subsequently, he had an even longer, more notable marriage to Hollywood’s other leading lady, Angelina Jolie.
When you name a famous actor, why is it always Brad Pitt? When you consider the film industry in general, his name is one of the first to come to mind. Probably because of his blockbuster acting career launched with 21 Jump Street - alongside the young and ever-handsome Johnny Depp - and spans three decades.
We’re forever enthralled with Brad Pitt. Women want him, men want to be him. He emerged from an era when pretty boys took over the silver screen - Leonardo DiCaprio, Young Johnny Depp, Rob Lowe.
Brad dictates male trends wherever he goes. That’s what comes from being the most famous actor in the world.
But we aren’t here to talk about the rules of Fight Club or his riveting performance in Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood. This isn’t about Inglourious Basterds, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, or any of the 107 films Brad Pitt has graced our theaters with…
It’s about Brad Pitt changing red carpet fashion as we know it.
And he managed this during the Bullet Train premiere circuit.

Gone are the crisp, perfectly tailored suits. The same-old-same-old black tuxedo, which can make the garbage man look like a star. Brad Pitt’s red carpet fashion is the new wave.
People have grown accustomed to women wearing avant-garde pieces and experimenting with fashion on the red carpet…but what about men?
Sure, the Met Gala is a place to avoid the bland suit-and-tie uniform. But in a world where we celebrate gender fluidity and your audacious fashion sense, it’s time we hold red carpet fashion to a fresh standard.
It’s not just that Brad Pitt looks incredible in these new, fun outfits. It indicates to men around the world that it is okay to strut your stuff in outfits that make you happy and feel your best.

At the end of the day, who cares what someone’s wearing? If you wear a piece confidently, then no one can tell you that you look bad.
When asked about his recent red carpet sartorial antics, Brad Pitt gave the most iconic answer possible:
“I don’t know! We’re all going to die, so let’s mess it up,” Pitt told Variety.
