Austin Butler is still living in his Elvis Presley era.
The actor showed up to a Dune: Part Two event in Mexico City last night in a look that looked straight out of the King of Rock and Roll’s wardrobe. The all-black fit consisted of a silky blouse layered under a long pinstripe blazer and tucked into matching high-waisted bell-bottom suit pants. The top featured hidden buttons and was embellished with some glitter; Butler left it partly open, creating a deep V neckline.
The blazer had big shoulder pads, which jetted up and out to the sides, creating a dramatic silhouette. Adding to the sharp angles of the look, Butler’s pants were cinched at the waist with a black leather belt with a silver buckle. He finished the ensemble with the most Presley-esque statement piece of all: pointy black leather boots with a block heel—footwear the late music legend often wore during his Las Vegas residency days. The full look was pulled straight from Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2024 ready-to-wear runway.
Butler’s only jewelry was a thin silver chain necklace. As for his hair, he channeled a modern-day Presley with a messy, voluminous style.
Butler famously starred as Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 biopic Elvis. Ever since he began preparing for the role, Butler has been channeling Presley with his style—and with his voice. The method actor has admitted he has found it hard to come back to himself after thinking about nothing but the King for three years, and has even hired a dialect coach to help him get rid of his Presley accent. (Hopefully, working on his Dune role has helped.)
Yesterday, Butler walked the red carpet at the Dune: Part Two press event alongside costars Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet, and Josh Brolin.
