Ewan McGregor at “The Impossible” Premiere: Safe from The Waist Up…

  • By Men's Folio

Woman readers who are familiar with Ewan McGregor’s “body of work”, don’t get your panties in a bunch: the famously nude-friendly actor is (sadly) wearing items of clothing from the waist down. We don’t usually have much to say about guys wearing grey (boring…), but this mohair-wool blend slim-fit suit from Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière is something else.

Tailored to within an “inch” of perfection, Ewan stuck to the same muted palette for his smart shirt-and-tie combo for the Hollywood premiere of “The Impossible” (which looks pretty fantastic, if this stirringly epic trailer is anything to judge by), but it’s his Marni shoes that have got us utterly transfixed. We swear we stared at the screen for a good minute, trying to absorb the playful genius of Ewan’s stylist. What a delightful surprise for us viewers to look down to see those gleaming gunmetal brogues—a sly dig, perhaps, at Ewan’s glorious “shoe size”? Kudos to the usually staid Scottish actor for having the…balls to don these bold beauties (okay, last phallic pun, we promise.)

Tip: for gents wanting to emulate the Scottish actor’s look here, keep your shiny metallics to just one item, unless you want to be assaulted by magpies on the street!
