However, since the beginning of 2025, something has changed in the actor's wardrobe, as in his recent appearances, he has taken risks with colors, fabrics, volumes, and cuts.
Some claim that this is due to the midlife crisis. Throughout his extensive career, the star of Allied (2016) has opted for neutral colors, basic garments, and a discreet style. For formal occasions, his looks have been sober, discreet, classic, and impeccable, or he simply matched his current partner. Of course, there have been exceptions, such as when he attended the premiere of Bullet Train in Berlin wearing a linen skirt by Haans Nicholas Mott.
Since officially announcing his relationship withInés de Ramón (32) at the Venice Film Festival in 2024, each of Brad Pitt's public outings has been widely discussed. For that special moment, the actor wore a black suit with flared pants from Louis Vuitton with a matching t-shirt and platform boots.

Being with a partner who is practically half his age keeps him in tune with the times. And when you add the mega global promotion of the movie F1, which cost 250 million dollars and stars alongside Javier Bardem, his styles are scrutinized with the precision of a microscope.
Who is the mastermind behind Brad Pitt's major style change? Some of the most prestigious international media outlets like Vanity Fair, The Telegraph, or GQ claim that American stylist Taylor McNeill is behind the Hollywood star's new style direction.
She is also the mastermind behind the stylistic provocation seen on Timothée Chalamet (29) since the promotions for Dune (2021) and Annette (2024) began, and on rapper Kendrick Lamar (38), when he performed at this year's Super Bowl halftime show wearing women's bootcut Celine jeans and a custom leather varsity jacket by Martine Rose.
Like his character in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Brad Pitt embraces the clock towards a long-cherished youth. Based on the latest images from press conferences and the premiere of the film F1, the actor is seen in eccentric outfits.
For example, during a morning outing in New York, he wore intense orange pants with a deep burgundy loose-knit polo, orange-striped sneakers, and a large gray suede Gucci bag; for a dinner with his girlfriend and friends Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid, he opted for a silk shirt in lilac tones from Taverniti, trompe-l'oeil effect pants, and square-toed loafers, and on another night out with Inés de Ramón, he chose a Willy Chavarría runway look with a crumpled blue velvet blazer and oversized starched blue jeans.
Despite this groundbreaking image, Brad Pitt remains loyal to his main stylist, George Cortina, the mastermind behind the famous cover of the summer issue of GQ where the actor sports high black boots from Saint Laurent. In the same magazine, Cortina mentioned that they had decided to wear custom-made suits by the legendary Savile Row tailor Anderson & Sheppard, but in a rainbow of colors and rarely used fabrics. For instance, during his visit to Mexico City, he chose a salmon-colored Bode suit with a light blue t-shirt during the day and a lilac ensemble at night.
According to Johnny Davis, style director of Esquire, as mentioned in The Telegraph, "in their youth, Pitt and Craig (Daniel, the latest James Bond) were famous for their attractiveness, but rarely known for their style. They are still very handsome, but youth no longer accompanies them: Craig is 57, Pitt is 61. One way to maintain their appeal is through clothing."
