Brad Pitt made a suave arrival at the 79th Venice International Film Festival, joining the cast of “Blonde” for the film’s premiere in Venice, Italy today. Pitt’s entrance introduced a new casual style of suiting, the actor pairing the formal wear with sneakers.
The smart suiting saw the “Bullet Train” actor wearing a fitted and buttoned up black suit jacket which he paired with sleek matching slacks. Beneath the outerwear Pitt wore a crisp white collared shirt fastened with a black bowtie, making the Academy award-winner look dapper.

Pitt laced up unconventional black low top Adidas Gazelle in “Core Black” fitted with contrasting white stripes running up the sides, the shoe brand’s signature. Traditional loafers and dress shoes seem to have lost momentum when paired with suits these days, given the silhouette is nothing new. While loafers and dress shoes will always have a place in professional dress, sneakers have made suiting more casual and accessible for all.

Adapted from the 2000 biographical fiction novel of the same name, the film is an exaggerated take on the life of famed actress Marilyn Monroe. The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 16, before its streaming release on Sept. 28, on Netflix.
