What Makes Jonathan Bailey’s Style Tick? Decoding The ‘Bridgerton’ Star’s Best Looks

The world is obsessed with Jonathan Bailey right now and for reasons good enough. Much like his enigmatic characters – Tim Laughlin in Paramount+’s Fellow Travelers and Viscount Anthony in Netflix’s Bridgerton – there is a magnetic pull about his off-screen persona as well. 

Bailey, who is all set to make a cameo in the third season of the teen drama Heartstopper, clearly knows how to make hearts stop or skip a beat or two with his smashing looks and impeccable style. Honestly, it’s the little quirks about his personality and looks — like the cleft between his eyebrows or the softness in his speech — that accentuate his desirability manifolds. Add to that his always-on-point fashion game and the dude is on everyone’s crush list.

Talking about Jonathan Bailey’s style and impact on the fashion scene, he’s worked with some major luxury fashion houses. He’s attended fashion shows in Paris for Loewe, tennis grand slam matches with Ralph Lauren and two Met Galas with Tom Ford and Loewe.

Whether it is a red carpet appearance or a promotional spree for Bridgerton’s new season, the British actor is never not immaculately dressed. On that note, here are some of our favourite Jonathan Bailey-style moments so far.

A lookbook of Jonathan Bailey’s best outfits

Below is a round-up of Bailey’s fashion-forward looks we absolutely need to talk about. 

Floral embellishment for that ‘Met’ magic

Bailey took up his spot on the steps of the Met Gala 2024 green carpet in a custom Loewe outfit. His look featured a white double-breasted jacket with a black satin lapel and black trousers. The highlight of the ensemble? Keeping up with this year’s dress code ‘The Garden of Time’, Bailey went for a major floral embellishment in place of a tie.

Dialing up chic drama in a white suit

The British actor stunned in a clean white Givenchy suit that featured wide-leg trousers, a tone-matched white button-down shirt, and an oversized suit jacket. He rounded off the attire with simple black loafers. His classic look made a major impact on the carpet with its unexpected colour choice and the off-handed, cool energy that Bailey exuded on the carpet.

The oh-so-luxe velvet tuxedo fit

The 2024 Met Gala was Bailey’s second time appearing at the high-flown annual fashion event. At last year’s do, the Bridgerton Viscount kept it classic in a Tom Ford tuxedo, complete with a velvet blazer and flanked with a diamond leaf brooch and some sleek sunglasses for effect. 

A classic take on all-black everything

Like always, Jonathan Bailey’s style was on fleek at the Critics Choice Awards 2024. The dude took on the red carpet in an elegant all-black suit styled with a turtleneck. His otherwise flicky hair was tamed in a gelled-up side-parted hairstyle and his beard was groomed to a close trim to keep up with the neat and natty vibe.

Bailey’s portrayal of the adorable Tim in Paramount+’s Fellow Travelers earned him the Best Supporting Actor award at the prestigious ceremony.

Power dressing but make it androgynous

A long dress shirt, skirt, garter belts and socks — what’s there not to love about this Thom Browne look on Jonathan Bailey? Well, talk about men in skirts and we have the undisputed winner! 

Popping out in neon

Let’s move on from Jonathan Bailey’s suits and focus on his casual style for a moment. I mean, a ribbed neon tank T-shirt paired with black high-waisted trousers, what sort of a fashion range is this! We love it!

Keep it caszh, keep it chic!

Another casual-classic look of Bailey that we are rooting for is one more tank T-shirt fit that he sported at the Met Gala after-party this year. It screams ‘I am here to party’ on the top and ‘take me seriously’ on the bottom. Whatever that is, we are not complaining!

Earthy tones FTW

As we dissect Jonathan Bailey’s style further, earthy tones ranging from beige and brown to olive green and moss are seen dominating his Instagram feed.

Whether it is a three-piece that he’s sporting or a sharp polo shirt and trousers, Bailey loves and knows his earthy tones.

That said, we would love for this fashion maven to introduce more colours to his wardrobe.
