I’m sorry that I totally blanked on these photos yesterday. I should have covered them when they were fresh! Brad Pitt attended the Mexican premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood this week, with no Leo DiCaprio or Margot Robbie in tow. That kind of proves what I’ve been saying: Leo and Margot enjoy each other’s company and are quite friendly, but they kind of think Brad is uncool? Leo and Margot had to do some extra promotion in Europe last week without Brad, and now Brad has to do some extra promo in North America without them. Everybody’s got a clique! And who is in Brad’s clique? I don’t know.
Anyway, people were talking about these photos because of Brad’s weird color choices. The thing is, Brad has looked flat-out GREAT during the promotion – he looks “good for his age,” but not like he’s trying to look 25. He looked fresh without looking worked on. Thin, but not too thin. Fit but not too fit. This ensemble in Mexico sort of ruins his style story for the OUATIH promotion though. The suit would have been fine… with a white shirt, better shoes and no hat. The fedora kills me… is Brad really trying to make fedoras happen??? But the worst part is that Brad is wearing really obvious (hilariously obvious) lifts. I’ve heard that Brad really isn’t the tallest guy, but the lifts are totally unnecessary.
People continue to talk about how Brad will likely get an Oscar nomination for OUATIH. I’m sort of fine if he does? It would be for Best Supporting Actor, and he would definitely be one of the “guys to beat,” even though awards season hasn’t even started. It’s worth noting (AGAIN!) that next year’s awards season is going to be so stupid and compact – the Oscars are three weeks earlier than usual. My point is that the films being released around Christmas won’t have time to really launch a huge awards season push, so I could totally see how a film released this summer would end up winning big Oscars.

The lifts are dumb because Brad isn’t short lol. He isnt 6’4” but he isn’t tiny either. Those shoes are ugly and pointless.
Hidden wedge desert boots. Yikes!! That shoemaker should win an award for fugliest shoes ever produced.
Yeah, I thought he was at least 6′ tall so there is really no need for lifts. Weird.
I’m pretty sure he’s under 6 ft.
Okay I’m totally lost, what makes these boots lifts? How can you tell?
I’m wondering about that too, I can only see ugly shoes
Me three …
Make that four. There is literally no heel on them!
The lift is hidden in the shoe. It’s an internal wedge that designed to be disguised by the external look of the shoe and the higher boot-like rise. Like those (hideous IMO) high tops with hidden wedge that were all the rage a few years back. It’s visible from the side of you know what you’re looking at. Also google ‘Tom cruise shoes’ for a 101 primer.
I still can’t see the lifts! They look like the Clarks’ Wallabees that everyone wore in high school.
I don’t see lifts either, just a throwback look to the ‘70s when brown was the new black.
Look at the way his pants crease higher than his natural ankle bend would be. Also, the shoes look sort of heavy and dead, especially in the toe area. THey also look odd where they tie at the top. Also, if you look closely you can see the lift in the back of the shoe where his heel should be.
His bio says 5’11, which means he’s probably 5’9.
HA!!
When I lived in Los Angeles, we called that a California 5′ 11″
Cute him yeah.
Such beige. No.
Way too much beige, yuck. And the boots are not only too matchy but also too casual. I noticed at the premier with the whole cast he was wearing big clunky shoes, too. Maybe they’re not lifts but orthopedic? It seems weird that he’d be trying to make himself taller just now.
Well we know that he usually styles himself according to how his present partner dresses. Maybe when he’s single he’s just sort of beige.
That’s so true, it’s painful! He has a sort of casual, not too tight, not too loose style when he’s on his own. In a way it reminds me of Johnny Depp’s style (wow these guys are only 1 year apart!) , but without the million scarves, stench and video documented abuse. There was abuse and there was definitely alcoholism, but by the grace of the gods Brad made a cleaner getaway. I’m afraid Depp is headed for a bad, lonely, disillusioned end because he doesn’t have anybody to stand up to him the way Pitt did.
I see this said all the time. Perhaps consider that he and his partner at any given time dress in the current fashion with the current hairstyle. It’s not so much matching each other as matching the times. Who DIDN’T have highlights in the late 80s. Was he “matching” Justin Timberlake??
I don’t like this hat or outfit at all. Really bad.
OMG I have been smacked in the face by this obvious truth. Thank you Bex!
He is clearly dating a statue of Tom Cruise carved out of driftwood then.
The color palette does nothing for him.
I’m not sure this colour palette does anything for anyone.
The polo is baby poo brown. It’s is no one’s color. I would’ve put him in a bright color with that suit.
Great headline. You are so clever and funny!
Yeah, horrible ensemble. But I agree Brad has looked great lately. It’s hard to believe he’s approaching his 60’s.
As for the Oscar nom… yeah, I see it. I watched the film and liked it. I liked Brad better than Leo, but that’s mostly because Leo hasn’t impressed me in anything for about a decade a half now. Leo’s roles are always Leo acting in different costumes, and this was no exception. I can see Margot getting a nom too. Her role wasn’t so big, but it was memorable, and the Academy loves it when actors play other Hollywood figures.
I actually like the suit and the colour. The hat needs to go though. I don’t think Brad wants to hang out with Leo and his crew partying constantly as he is a reformed (supposedly) alcoholic. Margot is also too young for Brad and his crew.
I didn’t believe it in the beginning, but as the time goes, it seems that Brad isn’t seeing the children regularly. They have been spotted in UK with Angelina and Brad is in Mexico.
Now the children will be with Angelina in UK from September to January (Marvel movie).
Those kids were just props for his Best Hollywood Dad act. Now that the act no longer works for him, he no longer needs the kids.
I disagree that the kids were just props that he’s now tossed aside. What a sad thing to say.
Wow that’s gross. Just because he’s not papped with them like he used to be, he must be totally ignoring them right?
It was certainly a harsh statement but in reality it’s true all evidence points to him not seeing his kids very often. He is papped constantly, so it’s not like he looks himself indoors as people think. His kids are papped constantly even when not with their mom. She clearly has primary custody.
@OK, but isn’t that the case with any divorced couple, even when they live in the same city? One person has more time with the kids than the other due to temporary or primary custody agreement, that’s just a fact. Angie still has primary custody until the final divorce decree is given (as far as I know, the Judge still hasn’t finalized anything and won’t until they reach a financial agreement) so it makes sense that the kids are with her more than Brad. if she leaves the city, they go with her. But my goodness, Brad flew down to Mexico for a film premiere. He’s not down there partying like some posters here have made it seem.
Except custody has already been settled.
Suit’s okay, hat is ugly, and there are several water spots on the front of his shirt, noticeable in the second pic.
I actually like his outfit too. And the hat is ok and the shoes are actually not so bad. I think he’s dressed ok.
As far as his kids are concerned, it’s really gross that people are speculating whether he or Angelina are using their kids for press. Unless you are part of their family or know their nanny, nobody knows what goes on in their household. It’s stupid to use gossip columns as “evidence” of anything.
He can get it, even in fugly fashion.
Haha The suit is fug, but he looks really good.
Agreed, he can get it even in this outfit!
He’s been dressing like this for almost 20 years. There are photos of him in a similar suit in 2001 standing next to Jennifer Anniston
I dont hate the fedora or the suit, but the shoes are one element too far. He needed chocolate colored shoes to offset. But I agree, he looks good.
Yeah exactly. I love a tan suit but he needs to change either the shoes or the shirt. I actually don’t mind the fedora. He’s a handsome dude.
He was never the beauty he was sold as – he’s like a poor man’s Robert Redford.
I was never a fan of his looks either, but I gotta say this look he’s rocking here is starting to grow on me. I think he looks better here than he ever has. The lack of blonde hair also helps where I’m concerned.
He looks great.He is having fun!
I think he looks great too and I do not mind the hat!
Really? I’ve been watching video interviews of all three of them, and they all seem to get along great. I didn’t notice anything “off” about the chemistry between Brad and Leo and Margot. I would guess the business people decide who will go where to promote what, and they had to split them up. I also thought Leo was really good in OUATIH. He was actually good comedically, which was different to see. I wouldn’t be mad if he was nominated.
I don’t think the fact that they are doing separation premieres/promotions means that Leo and Margot don’t want to hang out with Brad, lol. I just think Leo wanted to stay in Europe for longer for some quality yachting time with Sean Penn.
Yes, I think it’s just scheduling, nothing more.
He’s giving me a William H Macy vibe in these photos
I don’t get the hate towards brimmed hats. I know fedoras have gotten a bad rep thanks to neckbeards wearing ugly ones or wearing them with ugly clothes. However, I see quite a few men in media as well as out and about that pull them off quite nicely.
Agreed.
How very George Costanza with those boots.
He looks lovely! Wish him all the best!
He looks like Don JOHNSON now.
Suit is fine but the shirt should be burned. That color—ewwwwwww!
A black shirt (with the right undertone) would have looked much better. And get a tailor, Brad.
He’s looking pretty good–looks healthy.
why does he look like david spade?
That’s all I can see now! I can’t even remember what I was going to write 😀
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one who reads OUATIH as Quaith from Game of Thrones?! It keeps reminding me of yet another dangling plot line.
Is it wrong that I don’t hate this? I’m digging the monochrome thing. And I’m not a Brad Pitt fan by any stretch, but I do like this outfit.
He’s been looking happy and relaxed these last few months. Keep that going William Bradley Pitt.
He has a great filmography(Assassination of Jesse James, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Burn After Reading, Tree of Life, Thelma and Louise, Money Ball, Inglorious Bastards, etc…)
The hands always tell the secret of someone age. Even for Brad the Great.
And he could have wonky knees?
He’s actually the same age as my dad who needs to wear orthopedic shoes and soles, even though he’s not THAT old, my dad had to stop jogging and take up cycling/spinning cause his knees are all wonky now.
Or maybe Brad’s just vein and need to grow a few inch taller to feel okay, idk
I met him, very briefly, and I was surprised that he was actually tall. I’m 5’6″and it was definitely had to turn head to the side to look up.
He had a meeting at a charity place where I used to work. It was kind of funny, he was standing in the hall talking with the people he was with, so there was an endless stream of people going to get coffee. He did nod and say hi to people, and seemed fairly amused by it all.
