Hollywood is obsessed with Glen Powell right now. With multiple hit outings in the last few years, fans have had a lot of him lately, yet it is not enough.
While he has been in the industry for long, the Texas-born actor had his breakout moment in Anyone But You in December 2023, which was quickly followed up with Netflix’s Richard Linklater-directorial Hit Man, released in May 2024. A few months later, the dude got back on the big screen again with Twisters.
Not to forget his chiselled beach body as Jake “Hangman” Seresin from 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, which fans have hardly gotten over since.
Powell is clearly having a moment and with those beefcake looks and that banger wardrobe of his, it’s nearly impossible to not take notice of him.
Yes, we are living for the range of outfits that Glen Powell has been whipping out for his various outings.
From strikingly bright Brioni suits to Ralph Lauren’s subtle pinstripes, Tom Ford suede trucker jackets to old vintage Levi’s jeans, Powell has given us one too many fashion moments this season to not dub him the new style icon in Hollywood.
And he has been upping the style ante in a rather non-outlandish way. Glen Powell’s fashion is practical and poised.
Deconstructing Glen Powell’s style
Talking about the practicality of his style, during his recent appearance on ABC’s talk show The View, Glen Powell wore an outfit that can easily be copped by regular dudes. Up top, he wore a white vest and he layered it with a forest green shirt. For bottoms, he jumped into some dark blue denim jeans and a pair of brown leather Chelsea boots.
It’s a classic ’90s hero fit and something built from absolutely mainstream pieces.
For another promotional outing, he perfected another straightforward look where he replaced the green shirt with a light blue linen number. A dainty golden locket accentuated the fit of the ribbed vest and worked just fine with the scoop neck.
While we already mentioned the classic suits he pulls off often, we can’t help but give a shout-out to this one particular Gucci moment he pulled off for the Twisters promotions in London. The fit, the silhouette, the deep brown colour and the white piping detailing on the trousers and the jacket – it’s all screaming luxury meets fun.

However, this is not Powell’s doing alone, his stylist Warren Alfie Baker equally deserves the credit for making the actor shine while helping him retain his individual style as well.
We also learnt that Alfie Baker is also the stylist for Andrew Scott, Andrew Garfield and Matt Bomer and suddenly Glen Powell’s style evolution makes so much more sense.

Ray-Bans and belt buckles elevate the outfits of Glen Powell
Moving on to the accessories that interest Powell, the Hit Man star seems to have developed a love affair with Ray Ban aviators and wayfarers, a style move that is evident in most of his recent outings. While the style of these sunglasses is the perfect choice for his heart-shaped face, he also knows how to break his tall frame with the power of a nice belt.
Yes, Powell has been leaning a lot towards belt buckles, big and sleek, to break his outfit and accentuate his tall frame.
Even at the 2024 SAG Awards in February, the cummerbund that Powell wore scored a major win and worked fabulously with his Brioni suit.
Other memorable fashion moments on the red carpet

A loyalist of the Italian luxury menswear fashion house Brioni, Powell has sported many fine outfits from the label for his red-carpet outings.
A fashion moment that we loved is this white Italian big-lapelled suit that he wore to the Cannes Film Festival in 2022 that he styled with a black velvet bowtie. It’s crisp. It’s classy. It’s giving old money.
And then there was another Brioni look where he layered a white tank top underneath his blue double-breasted suit jacket at the Anyone But You premiere in December 2023. A total serve!
To mark the momentous occasion of being inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame by the Austin Film Society earlier this year in May, Powell showed up looking rather sharp in full Versace look with the Medusa head vintage bolo Tie being the hero of his outfit. A fit that’s too true to Powell’s own style – sophisticated with a dash of risk.

At MTV Movie & TV Awards in 2022, Powell who usually gravitates towards Oxford shirts for a formal night, wore a V-neck top to bring in a casual touch to his light-grey suit.
Perhaps, he had just about started experimenting with his style and clearly, there has been no looking back.
