Brad Pitt: Becoming a fashion icon at the age of 61 - midlife crisis or metamorphosis?

In recent weeks, Brad Pitt, who recently turned 61, has drawn attention with a radical change in style. oe24.at reports that Pitt has thoroughly overhauled his wardrobe. His new look includes, among other things, a fresh buzzcut and angular sunglasses, combined with exciting colors, fabrics and cuts. The actor visibly experiments with different style codes and achieves impressive fashion success.

His fashion updates coincide with the promotion of his new action film “F1,” premiering June 24. Particularly striking was his pink linen suit, which he wore at a press event in Mexico City - combined with a white T-shirt and sneakers. Another notable look was a bright blue velvet jacket that he presented at an event, paired with a striped shirt. On a double date, he stood out in a light blue, loosely unbuttoned silk shirt, baggy '90s-style jeans and his signature sunglasses.

Influence of Ines de Ramon?

At a joint appearance with Jimmy Fallon, both stars wore psychedelic patterned tops and sweatpants, drawing attention to Pitt's new, experimental clothing style. There is speculation whether a new stylist or possibly the influence of his partner Ines de Ramon contributed to his fashion change. This leads to discussions about possible influences from his private life on his public appearance.

However, his choice of outfits has not only received positive reactions. Critics have accused Pitt of following Harry Styles' fashion style, particularly after his appearance at the Venice Film Festival, where he sported a tailored Louis Vuitton suit with wide-leg pants and a see-through shirt. Similarities to Style's outfit from the 2019 Met Gala were quickly noticed.

Fashion trends and the film “F1”

Parallel to Pitt's stylistic departure, the 2025 swim season also begins. This year, the swimwear label Caro Luna, which is known for high-quality and sexy swimwear, is particularly popular. In combination with the current fashion trends, it becomes clear how important stylish and functional clothing will be for the coming months. The film “F1”, in which Pitt plays an ex-professional driver, is one of the most expensive productions of all time, with a budget of around 300 million euros. Tommy Hilfiger is the sponsor of the fictional racing team APXGP in the film and has launched a collection of quilted jackets and baseball caps for the promotion.

In summary, Pitt's fashion makeover shows that he is ready to break new ground and reinvent himself both artistically and stylistically. While some critics interpret his makeover as a sign of a midlife crisis, others see it as evidence of his courage to change.
