Brad Pitt
I suppose it's possible this shirt is designed with a funky neckline, but coming after a week of wrinkles... My original headline was basically OMG BRAD GET A GRIP YOU SLOB, which is perhaps extreme. I'm all for comfort, but it's like he can't NOT wear sweatsuit material to photocalls right now. And they are in London, which I just realized is sweltering, HOW ARE ANY OF THEM NOT DRENCHED.
I guess Joey is in something temperature-appropriate, although aren't those tights miserable in that weather? Fug Nationals of the UK, please weigh in. ALSO, for as much as I'm ragging on Brad's t-shirt, this dress seems like way too much for a daytime photocall. It's extreme.
I don't know if Joey is trying to copy Brad's bizarre energy from the conga line day, or what.
"Who's gonna outdo that? THIS GUY."
What is happening with these people this week? I'm not mad at interesting photographs, but this is a lot more chaotic romping than we typically see. Perhaps it's HEAT INSANITY.
'Bullet Train' film photocall, London, UK - 20 Jul 2022
Brad really seems to want to prove to us that he can still KICK, like Mary Katherine Gallagher.
Brian and Aaron are just trying to get shit done, and Brad and Joey are over here being the absolute most.
Okay at least Brian is smiling. All I want is for him to be happy. And maybe for his jacket to be... a touch longer? Is it a bit cropped? SINCERELY isn't it record-breaking misery in the UK? Maybe this patio has lots of fans blowing on it. Brad's hair does actually seem to be doing a lot of... flowing.

He's serving some Loki Jr.

This feels like someone heeded the call to put him in a shirt he couldn't mess up or which wouldn't otherwise look like it was grabbed from a floor pile. It's better.
Joey King in Marc Jacobs
And then BOOM another big swerve from Joey. I'm really glad to see a Marc Jacobs on the red carpet, and one that's got more interesting lines than his big voluminous heaps of late, although in general I am never hot for a high-cut bodysuit look.
And I will hard pass on that much sideboob. That skirt is good though! And the whole look is directional, at least? Her fashion pendulum is swinging so erratically right now. She and her stylist are clearly feeling playful, and for a clearly really BIG movie with a lot of sequential premieres, it's nice to see them so obviously having fun with it -- even if I don't always adore the end result.

Whereas, on the flip side, I sincerely thought he'd already worn this. (He has not, at least not the shirt, but he's kept to this color scheme at most premieres.)
Brian Tyree Henry
This is great, but am I nuts for thinking either brown or matching cream shoes would have been better than black?
