On the roster of facial hair enthusiasts, Brad Pitt has now joined
Brad Pitt's latest on-screen transformation sees him sporting a new mustache as Cliff Booth in the upcoming spinoff, The Adventures of Cliff Booth. This sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood finds Pitt adopting a distinctive look that harks back to the tough guy aesthetics of past decades.
Pitt's character in the film is reminiscent of Burt Reynolds, Charles Bronson, and Sam Elliott, with his shaggy blonde wig and matching blonde mustache creating a retro vibe that takes us back to his iconic 1990s hairstyles. This shift in appearance marks a departure from his recent buzz cut style, moving towards a more textured, fuller hair look with a subtle mullet influence.
The impact on fashion has been significant. Pitt's mustache, paired with longer, tousled hair, has rekindled interest in vintage or retro grooming styles, particularly mustaches coupled with longer, textured hair reminiscent of the 1970s and 1990s. There's a trend among actors to embrace natural grays alongside distinctive facial hair, merging aged elegance with bold style choices.
Pitt's look has also influenced fans and fashion circles to revisit mustaches as a stylish accessory rather than a dated relic. His rugged yet glamorous appearance combines the best of both worlds, making mustaches feel like a cultural reset, especially for those over 61.
The resurgence of mustaches, flared trousers, and cowboy boots in menswear trends can be attributed, in part, to Pitt's evolving mustache trend. His deliberate facial hair transformation, like those of Pedro Pascal, Jacob Elordi, and Timothée Chalamet, signals a connection to their roles but also influences broader fashion trends by reintroducing classic styles.
In essence, Pitt's mustache has significantly contributed to the resurgence of these trends, highlighting the cyclical nature of actor-driven fashion. Iconic film roles often contribute to popularizing grooming styles that ripple into mainstream fashion and style culture. With The Adventures of Cliff Booth set to hit theatres soon, it remains to be seen whether Pitt's mustache will make a permanent mark in fashion history.
