Following in the footsteps of Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova, aging action hero Bruce Willis has been stepping out lately with a much younger model, sometime Victoria’s Secret siren Emma Hemming.
Willis isn’t really known for his sartorial savoir faire, but he does have the sense to realize that a new look is necessary to pull off a poule de luxe.
At the Cinema Society’s screening of Flawless the other night Willis looked immeasurably better in a classic black and white ensemble. He kept it quite simple with a black suit and open-necked, high-collared white shirt a touch of jauntiness in the black silk polka dot pocket square, but lost a few points for fastening both buttons of his two-button jacket when of course the bottom one should have been left undone.
Perhaps he was trying to compensate for the somewhat boxy cut of the suit; we’d recommend he go the Tom Ford/Tom Hanks sharper-tailored route in future.
