What Do You Think of Emile Hirsch’s Quirky New Look?

Eliot Press/Bauer-Griffin

Emile Hirsch is a lot of things — a certifiable action star (hello, Speed Racer!), a Screen Actors Guild award nominee — but one he isn’t yet: a style star. Sure, that may not be a legitimate expectation for the 23-year-old actor who roughed it for his role in Into the Wild. But Hirsch appears to be trying to change all of that. Witness the glam-Western inspired getup he wore to Valentino’s spring menswear show recently — he is also the face of the line for the Spring 09 collection. You have to appreciate that he made an effort past his typical uniform of jeans and a T-shirt, but we can’t help but think that Hirsch missed the mark by trying to go too high fashion all at once. And here’s what really stings: He has the raw materials — never mind the acting chops — to be the full package: a brilliant actor and a head-turner. Tell us: What do you think of Emile’s look? Is it hot? Or does he need a makeover?

I think he look really cute I mean I would date him in this oufit :) very sufisticated (sp?) and dapper

he needs to cut his hair and shave he looks to old

He looks like a British dandy who got lost on his way to a Pearl Jam concert circa 1993. His heart is in the right place, though I have a feeling that his stylist is running on very little sleep.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. He has guts, isn’t another interchangeable part. I like it.

Emile ventured into braver fashion territory, here, didn’t he? He’s not only a movie star, he’s also a model, now so he has to appear more a la mode, whatever the consequences.
I don’t like Emile roughly shaven.
I like his hair more “groomed” and shorter, too.
I DO LIKE his glasses.
I WISH celebrities would wear glasses more often, in public. I wish the stigma of “people don’t make passes at — who wear glasses”, would GOOO away! Celebrities are too damn vain!

Colonel Sanders comes to mind when I see this ensemble. And I doubt that’s the look he was going for.

He’s sooo adorable and talented (my fave actor), so to me he looks fab. I agree with Abbie on the glasses.

He’s a cutie for sure, but he does need a makeover! This style does not suit him. Not the least of it is that his facial growth is really uneven. Blech.

that is real style, something menswear is truly lacking. i think it’s great and would like to see more stylish outfits for men like this one.
