Jacob Elordi just redefined method dressing, and it’s both genius and refreshingly laid-back. Forget everything you thought you knew about celebrities promoting movies—Elordi’s approach to embodying his character off-screen is as subtle as it is striking. Sure, stars like Jenna Ortega and Margot Robbie have turned press tours into fashion spectacles, but Elordi’s take? It’s a masterclass in understated homage. While promoting Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, where he plays The Creature, Elordi showed up to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and a BAFTA screening in a gray crewneck sweatshirt featuring Boris Karloff’s iconic portrayal of Frankenstein’s monster from the 1931 film. Paired with black jeans, loafers, and a tucked gold chain, it was method dressing at its most chill—and most on-the-nose. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this a genuine nod to his character, or just a clever way to stay low-key while still making a statement? And this is the part most people miss—the sweatshirt isn’t even official merch; it’s a 2013 piece by Scottish designer Christopher Kane. Yet, it’s the perfect October look, whether you’re starring in a monster movie or just looking for a non-polyester Halloween outfit. Elordi’s choice feels like a breath of fresh air in a world of over-the-top red carpet moments. It’s a reminder that sometimes, less is more—even when you’re channeling a sewn-together monster. So, thank you, Jacob, for giving us a chill, wearable take on method dressing. Now, the question is: Will this spark a trend of subtlety in Hollywood, or will it remain a one-off masterpiece? Let’s discuss in the comments—do you think Elordi’s approach is genius, or does it fall flat compared to bolder fashion statements?
