If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the latest installment of the Twilight movie franchise, it’s that the clothing line of the male lead attracts a lot of attention. Since he appeared in the movie in a tuxedo, it would seem that the question on everyone’s lips is: How can Robert Pattinson wear tuxedos and look so cool? Let’s explore.
A Bit Of A History, Mmhm
It all started with the Twilight movie. In the film, the handsome actor donned a tuxedo for a formal dinner date with his female co-star. The scene was recreated at the Hollywood Bowl in front of a live audience, and the internet went wild. Suddenly, everyone wanted to know how the British actor could pull off his impeccable look so effortlessly. The truth was that Robert had been working hard to perfect his tuxedo-wearing skills for several years prior to the film’s release.
The 53-year-old actor has been spotted numerous times in the past wearing tuxedos, especially for special or themed events. For example, he attended the Baftas in January 2019 in a black tuxedo with a red carnation, and at the Golden Globes in February 2019, he wore a beautiful black and gold striped tuxedo with matching sword.
However, it was in Twilight that he really proved his dedication to his craft. Apart from appearing in a tuxedo, he also wore beautiful tailoring and polished his English accent to perfection. Even the most diehard fans of the Twilight series had to admit that Robert really upped his game compared to past movies. It’s fair to say that he was completely unphased by the attention he was receiving. In fact, when he showed up at the 2019 Golden Globe Awards in a tuxedo, he was even wearing a smile.
Get Inspired, Mmhm
Now that we’ve established that Robert is quite the fashion icon, it’s time to figure out how to replicate his style. To do this, you need to look to the source and get inspired by what you see. Sometimes, it’s not so easy to put into practice what you’ve seen on screen but, with a little bit of effort, it’s possible. It’s always good to have a few goes-to looks that you can pull off at any time and in any situation. This will make it much easier to recreate the style you’ve seen on film.
For a long time, Robert’s been known for his classical good looks. However, it’s time for a makeover, and it begins with the hair and the beard.
The Beard
In Twilight, Robert sported a full and thick beard that he wore well. While this might not be for everybody, those with thick and bushy beards will certainly feel at home wearing them. They add a bit of texture to your face that is very appealing. And it’s not just the beard. It’s about the whole look. A good stylist can work wonders for the facial hair. In fact, this can often be the key to a successful makeover. If you feel more like a Robert Pattinson than a Mungo Jerry, then by all means, grow a beard!
It’s also worth pointing out that the longer the hair on your chin, the more beautiful you’ll look. This is especially so if you grow a full and flourishing beard. In addition to being a good stylist, our own BFF (Best Friend’s Face) Isabella has a talent for growing the perfect beard. Even if you don’t have the gift of good facial hair, you can still try and emulate Isabella’s method. Keep your chin warm, clean your mouth out with some frozen winter watermelons, and see how it goes. You might just end up turning some heads, yourself.
The Hair
Another thing that helped Robert to look so dashing was his hair. Our man in a tuxedo sported a classic side parting and an extremely neat, though not perfectly trimmed mustache. It’s said that he spent over a year growing his mustache so that it would be just right for the part. While this might seem like a lot of work, there are plenty of people who have the exact same haircut and attire as Robert. If you want to look like a freshly minted genius, go for the side parting and the mustache. They will increase your odds of looking just like the British actor. If you don’t have time to grow a mustache, then maybe you should consider getting a haircut that is a bit sharper.
There are different methods of sporting a mustache. Some people might decide to curl the end of their upper lip, which gives them a more youthful appearance. Others might choose to pinch the skin on the inside of their nose, which gives them a more dominant look. It’s worth experimenting to see what works best for you. As for the hair, if you’ve never worn a haircut like this, it might be time for an upgrade. There’s nothing worse than going to the barber and having them tell you that your haircut is a little too dull. So, instead of getting a haircut, maybe it’s time for you to get a beard!
The Outfit
Apart from the hair and the beard, the most recognizable feature of Robert’s look is the outfit. Even if you’ve never been able to pull off his style, it’s never been easier to imitate. He wore a tuxedo in Twilight and the outfit has become his calling card ever since. When it comes to the tuxedo, you will need to get the perfect fit. This is not something that most people can easily do themselves, so it’s worth paying for the help of a professional. Otherwise, you might end up looking like a mess instead of a matinee idol.
The jacket and the trousers of the outfit are an ideal match. Make sure to get a slim fit so that it doesn’t look like a bulky suit. As for the tie, again, this is another area where you need some help from a professional. There are dozens of different types of ties that you can get for men, and finding the right one will take some time and effort. It’s always good to have a few goes-to looks that you can pull off at any time and in any situation. This will make it much easier to recreate the style you’ve seen on film. If you feel more like a Robert Pattinson than a Mungo Jerry, then by all means, pull off the outfit. Just make sure that you have the perfect suit and that it fits you perfectly.
