Brad Pitt’s Bold Velvet Blazer Sets the Tone for Date Night with Ines de Ramon
As summer approaches and seasonal fashion transitions are underway, actor Brad Pitt made it clear that velvet is remaining firmly in the sartorial spotlight this year. On a recent evening out in New York City, Pitt turned heads in a striking cobalt blue velvet blazer from Willy Chavarria’s Fall 2025 collection, confidently sidestepping the usual summer fashion rules.
A Show-Stopping Look in NYC
Pitt, 61, was photographed alongside girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 32, while making their way through the city’s streets. Instead of leaning into lighter linens expected for summer, Pitt opted for the rich texture of crushed velvet. He styled the vibrant blazer with a white pinstriped dress shirt, left nonchalantly unbuttoned at the collar for a touch of ease. His deep blue barrel-cut jeans echoed the boldness of his jacket, creating a modern silhouette that combined luxury with casual flair. Black, squared-toe shoes completed his ensemble, marrying comfort and polish.
Fan reactions to Pitt’s look were immediate, with social media lighting up in response to his quirky style choice. Comments on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and on Instagram posts by Just Jared ranged from bewilderment—"What is he wearing? He is gorgeous and it’s June"—to amused comparisons with historic entertainers. While some fans seemed confused by the summer velvet, others appreciated the actor’s willingness to take risks and stand out on a star-studded night out.
Ines de Ramon’s Coordinated Chic
Standing beside Pitt, Ines de Ramon offered a chic contrast in head-to-toe white. She embraced the trending dress-over-pants aesthetic, layering a white asymmetrical sleeveless dress with fringed detail over wide-legged matching trousers. Shades of cream and ivory carried through to her accessories, with nude platform peep-toe heels barely visible beneath her trousers, a large chestnut-hued leather clutch in hand, and a series of subtle gold accessories—including a watch and delicate necklace. Her wavy, center-parted hair and soft, smoky makeup finished the crisp and elegant look.
Celebrity Double Date: An Evening to Remember
Before their own night out, Pitt and de Ramon joined power couple Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid for a double date at Manhattan’s renowned Cote Korean Steakhouse. The two couples’ public appearance quickly became the talk of entertainment media, highlighting the close ties between Hollywood’s A-list circles. On that occasion, Pitt wore a light periwinkle silk shirt and black distressed jeans—much more understated than his later velvet ensemble. De Ramon dazzled in a pastel yellow off-the-shoulder mini dress, pairing it with strappy sandals and a quilted Chanel bag.
Gigi Hadid opted for street-chic with a white T-shirt, silver pants, and a denim jacket, hair pulled back in a sleek bun. Bradley Cooper kept things classic in a black T-shirt and dark straight-leg jeans. The group’s relaxed style and warm chemistry did not go unnoticed, especially as fans have recently seen Hadid and Cooper make their relationship Instagram official—Hadid even shared a birthday snapshot of the couple’s sweet moment with her followers online.
Velvet and Modern Style on the Red Carpet
Brad Pitt’s decision to sport a bold blue velvet blazer might have divided fan opinion, but it strongly reaffirms velvet’s status as a year-round statement fabric. Designers like Willy Chavarria are helping redefine what is possible with classic materials in modern tailoring for men, while stars like Pitt bring these looks to life in the public eye. By pairing luxury fabrics with casual fits and embracing vibrant hues, Pitt’s style on this night highlights a willingness to experiment—something that continues to define his approach to fashion.
