Actor Jacob Elordi achieved an impressive feat earlier this week: He became the central intersection of the famous menswear Venn diagram.
It all started on Tuesday, while Elordi was out in Los Angeles. He wears a faded army green round-neck sweater, a Celine beanie, gray sweatpants, white sneakers, and a striking mustache—all in when balancing a small iced matcha coffee And a small hot coffee in one hand, plus a black Bottega Veneta Andiamo bag on the elbow. And while that in itself is remarkable, the real achievement here is Elordi and his incredibly simple outfit that has gone viral online. (Athleisure plus luxe handbag? Type Princess Diana moves.)
Elordi then ran the outfit back the next day, trading the beanie for a flip-top cap and loafers for a pair of green Adidas x Gucci Gazelle sneakers. Meanwhile, actor Austin Butler wore the same pair of green Gucci Gazelles while out in LA earlier this week, when he was spotted walking his dog with his girlfriend, model Kaia Gerber, who previously dated Elordi.
(Another coincidence: Butler just finished four years of intensive filming to promote her role as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s film. Elvisand Elordi are currently playing Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s upcoming biopic Priscilla. Phew!)
But the key to Elordi’s impressive maneuverability here is the Bottega Andiamo bag—and it’s not just Elordi’s famous 6-foot-5-tall picture of the luxury purse that has intrigued netizens. Elordi who is also known for walking around a bottomless tote by Shakespeare and Company, seems to really love this bag; he even brought it sitting by the court at a Lakers game with Inisherin’s Banshees actor Barry Keoghan a few weeks ago. Through Happiness The actor is historically a rather casual dresser, he has long been fond of affordable luxury bags. He wears a Fendi Baguette version of the crossbody bag – indeed, Carrie Bradshaw’s favorite purse – to see a Broadway musical performance Dear Evan Hansen, with ex-girlfriend Zendaya the way back to the beginning of 2020.
But there’s more: Elordi’s Andiamo, featuring the house’s signature “intrecciato” leather braid, is a smaller version of the Andiamo that rapper RM, of K-pop supergroup BTS, carries. in a new campaign by Bottega announced him as the brand’s newest celebrity face. (This is a move that fashion magazineIrene Kim predicted a month agowhen RM attended Bottega performance during Milan Fashion Week in February. Similarly, Elordi went to a Bottega show in 2022, where he carried the brand’s famous padded Cassette bag.) RM was also spotted wearing his own Andiamo bag, as part of that. of the Bottega outfit from head to toe, at Incheon International Airport in South Korea a month ago.
