In the course of bestowing the two MOTHs he’s pocketed so far—for an elegant all-black ensemble and the apex of equestrian chic—we issued a caveat about Alan Cumming’s occasionally overly theatrical tendencies in matters of dress. He is a quirky actor type after all, but once in a while these unfortunate propensities seem to get the better of him.
Take the outfit he sported to the Cinema Society’s screening of Sir Ben Kingsley’s new flick Elegy the other night—an otherwise comme il fault symphony in gray by Nicole Farhi which he obliterated by deciding to dispense with a shirt entirely.
Perhaps his drycleaners are to blame, but we doubt it. Any more stunts like this pal, and we’re docking you a MOTH. Consider yourself warned.
