Jacob Elordi is a Bottega Veneta boy through and through (with dalliances in being a Chanel girl, too): across the long and winding Wuthering Heights press tour so far, he’s kept up his sleek and tailored sartorial style—impeccably tailored custom suits to fit that 6ft 5 frame by Louise Trotter, a cropped tweedy jacket via Matthieu Blazy’s womenswear offering. For a night in London, Elordi ditched the sharp attire for something more gorpy.
Elordi joined Netflix and BAFTA for a Frankenstein Q&A at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, looking casual yet put together. He kept warm in a navy Arc’teryx Beta LT Gore-Tex jacket from the ’90s, paired with sporty, loose, and flowing white pants with a tie waist, drawstring ankles, and zippy pockets, as well as a Frankenstein merch cap, and ruffled Saint Laurent loafers. The little mullet and mustache remain.
The look felt very much in the rhythm of fellow red carpet and press tour stomper Timothée Chalamet, who, when not in Marty Mauser-coded Givenchy suits or jewel-toned Tom Ford opts for a rainbow of nylon sports jackets and flame-licked Uggs. But Jacob Elordi is a bit of a streetwear head himself for his more casual appearances, having stepped out in a billowy Miu Miu track jacket and low-top Nike Dunks. (In Frankenstein-esque colors, too.)
While Timmy steers into unbridled hypebeast with a penchant for irony and a Chrome Hearts addiction territory, Jacob Elordi sticks to the classic sensibilities of gorpcore—looking more ready to take on the wild, romantic landscape of Brontë Country that Heathcliff himself.
