If this isn’t taking sponsorship obligations to the next level then we don’t know what is. Henry Golding was spotted this week in Las Vegas rocking one of the reddest suits you’ll ever see and he even conveniently matched the CinemaCon Awards red carpet and main sponsor Coca-Cola.
It wasn’t so much the colour co-ordination that surprised us though (well, actually it is) but the cut of the suit which garners all sorts of ‘WTF-ery’. For starters the dress shirt, which is intentionally long and untucked with geometric fold lines to make for a very floaty piece. The blazer follows the same trend with diagonal crease lines ironed in…and not much else. And then we have the trouser-footwear combo. For someone who usually has a sharp eye for style, Golding looks like he raided his formal/prom night wardrobe with baggy red trousers paired to black and white sneakers. We know Golding is always out to make a statement with his style, but we’re really not sure what this male maternity suit is trying to say. Is the man pregnant? If you take one of his recent Instagram posts seriously then most likely.
But we digress. Since the debut of Crazy Rich Asians Golding has been on a bit of a winning streak both with crowds and menswear enthusiasts. Just last week he was at CinemaCon alongside Charlie Hunnam and Chadwick Boseman in sky blue are killer loafers.
And a week before that he was showing men how to rock a mean windowpane blazer with jeans.
Where is the Henry Golding of two weeks ago and can we please have him back?
