Clash of The Twi-hards: Robert Pattinson Ups His Game

  • By Men's Folio

Bring it on, Taylor Lautner: Robert Pattinson edged out his celluloid love competitor in a decisively bold green Gucci suit. Wearing way more color than we’re accustomed to seeing him in (not that we’re complaining), we think Rob would make an awesome Robin Hood-James Bond superhero hybrid in this larger-than-life ensemble, finished off with a rakish black satin tie. We also love the lush material of the Monaco notch lapel two-button suit—look closer and you’ll realise it’s not a solid malachite but an intricate green-and-black micro houndstooth print.

Attending the same paparazzi-infested premiere of the latest and last Twilight film, we say Robert’s won this round of the style war with his real-life buddy, if only because of the sheer audacity of the stunning outfit’s backstory. In a sign of his industry clout, Robert the budding diva demanded Gucci to make him this suit, and the Italian house obliged. In the man’s own words: “I had a dream about an emerald green houndstooth suit, and I got Gucci to make it.” Well, there you have it. No contest!
