Adrien Brody stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, where he chatted about being mistaken for Adam Brody by Kim Kardashian (which, let’s be honest, is peak pop culture mix-up), his heartfelt Golden Globe speech, and how The Brutalist honours his grandparents’ immigrant experience.
Now, let’s talk about this look. You know how I feel about all-black ensembles—they can sometimes blend into one forgettable blur as details often get lost. But Adrien is out here making a case for the sheer power of simplicity.
Wearing a sleek Celine mock neck merino wool sweater with classic tux trousers, he proved that sometimes, less really is more. The fit? Impeccable. The styling? Understated and impossibly chic. And the effect? Well, let’s just say I’m suddenly wondering if he has always been this handsome, or if this outfit is some kind of optical illusion designed to highlight his best angles.
There’s a quiet confidence here that reminds me of Robert Redford in his prime—sophisticated, timeless, and effortlessly cool. No gimmicks, no flashy embellishments, just a masterclass in elegance that proves black can be anything but boring when done right.
Consider me very, very impressed.
Stylist: Jason Rembert.
