Chosen One of the Day: Jeff Goldblum's '70s inspired zaddy look

Jeff Goldblum doesn’t just cosplay as Dr. Ian Malcolm or dress in something sparkly for the press tour of a big movie release. There are certain style boxes Goldblum likes to tick, but generally, he is having fun with what he is wearing. And this was very much the case at the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom photocall in London earlier this year.

Switching out leather for suede and black for cream and white, Goldblum looks like he is on his way to a ‘70s key party. Can I also attend? A cream ribbed turtleneck paired with this jacket is leaning hard into zaddy territory. It is so good that this outfit even draws focus from the famous landmark and the roaring dinosaur behind him.

Zebra-on-zebra Saint Laurent dress shoes and socks are currently in favor, replacing his beloved two-tone penny loafers, but black-and-white is very much a Goldblum signature, even when the rest of his outfit has taken a deviation.

At the Fallen Kingdom premiere in Los Angeles, Goldblum returns to the Dr. Ian Malcolm: Man in Black inspiration, which has worked so well for him both on and off screen. Dressed head-to-toe in Prada, a flash of white comes in the form of a comic book-inspired design.    

Outfits like this one are why Jeff Goldblum’s mantle is gaining awards based on his sartorial choices. First, he made the Vanity Fair 2018 Best Dressed list, then he took home the Icon of the Year award from British GQ, and this week he added to this with InStyle bestowing him with the Man of Style title.

It is safe to say that Goldblum deserves these many fashion based honors for brightening up the red carpet at every turn. What is his secret? Other than his amazing stylist Andrew T. Vottero, it is all about being yourself, as he told Vanity Fair, “Don’t copy anyone—find your original voice and trust yourself.”
