He creeped us out in Match Point and modeled for Versace and Hugo Boss before embarking on his latest role—a kind of priapic, po-mo Henry VIII in The Tudors—but Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has always won full marks for his stylish attire.
At the Tudors premiere the other night, he sported an ensemble that had an almost Rockabilly look to it: a midnight blue dress suit with satin piping on the lapels—custom-tailored by John Galliano—and a superskinny leather tie by Camilla Staerk.
Perhaps it was a holdover from his days playing Elvis or even the glam rock epic Velvet Goldmine, in which actually performed some of the songs. Either way, he managed to hold his own with Tudors co-star Peter O’Toole, who was decked out in some rather ancient-looking but still snappy Savile Row threads.
