British GQ has an exclusive look at Rob (giving us some serious Bruce Wayne vibes) photographed for the Kim Jones’ Spring/Summer 2021 Men’s Collection.

Tenet actor Robert Pattinson is currently filming scenes for Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Due for release in 2022, after the pandemic put a temporary halt to filming, it is set to be one of the darkest portrayals of the DC Comics superhero to date.

And the brooding and eccentric Pattinson, who rose to fame after his role as moody teenager Edward Cullen in Twilight and plays the titular character in Reeves’ film, is more than up to the job and not just because of his acting (remember when he attended the Dior Autumn/Winter 2019 menswear show in a draped and oversized brown overcoat that screamed “I have an affiliation with bats”?).

Well, he’s proven that he (or his wardrobe at least) is made for the role once again. GQ got an exclusive look at Pattinson’s latest greyscale campaign for the aforementioned Parisian brand and you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s an actual advertisement for the upcoming movie. 

Shot by legendary photographer David Sims, the longstanding friend of the house delivers a lesson in contemporary formalwear, sporting an angular, peak-lapelled double-breasted suit in a Prince of Wales check from Jones’ recently released Modern Tailoring collection, which features the British designer’s signature strap across the breast. A worthy replacement for his on-screen bat suit, we think.  

Additionally, Pattinson is cloaked in yet more bat cave-worthy outerwear. Another is a drapey double-breasted peacoat, this time from Jones’ Judy Blame-inspired Spring 2021 Dior men’s collection, which features an exaggerated shawl-wraparound neck, as well as an uber-luxurious cashmere single-breasted coat with a removable beaver-fur collar detail that would suit billionaire Bruce Wayne just fine.

And even the footwear is enough to give him superhero status. Pattinson has slipped into a pair of Jones’ B27 sneakers, which launched earlier this year. Fusing a chunky, flat-form skater style with an oversized, retro 1980s tennis sneaker silhouette, the calfskin and Dior oblique jacquard-detailed kicks are some of the chicest you can get your feet into right now.

Translation (if anyone can provide a better one it would be appreciated)

“Men’s fashion looks best when women wear it”

As an actor, I’m used to slipping into other roles. It is similar with fashion. When I’m at home, I like to walk around in my dressing gown. I like it even if it makes me look like the mafia boss from “The Sopranos”. I’m not a fashion victim in my private life, I like it casual, sometimes my clothes don’t go together either. Then I put on whatever works: my biker leather jacket. For me the most manly piece of clothing. However, I am not a fan of the gender demarcation. In fact, I find, men’s fashion looks best when women wear it.

Unlike in private, I like to dress eccentrically for public appearances. I remember the premiere of my film “High Life” in New York. At that time I was wearing a black suit from Dior: a double-breasted jacket with knee-length basketball shorts, plus lace up shoes with awhite rubber soles. I definitely didn’t want to wear a bourgeois tuxedo, but rather a special look.

I now enjoy standing out on the red carpet. Only once did my fashion courage suffer. Karl Lagerfeld took me aside, tapped my open jacket and said: If you don’t want to embarrass yourself, you better close the button.” A rule that I’ve followed meticulously ever since. But even when I like experimenting with fashion, I’m reluctant to use fragrances. For me, there is nothing worse than attracting attention with an unpleasant, heavy perfume that hangs in the room when I’ve long left it. I like light scents that mix with my own smell. I am always happy when people say to me: “You smell good”. That is a nice compliment for me. Smells fascinate me. It’s like my childhood. Maybe it’s because I grew up in London. Everyone who lives there knows the smell of rain falling on the asphalt. A scent that may have been written about too often. But it’s special – and always makes me feel at home.

At first I thought it was the photo from the Kodak post we did HERE, but it’s slightly different.
