In Defense of Wesley Snipes’s Red Carpet Bermuda Shorts
At last night’s Oscars, the standout red carpet moments were those that defied convention—whether Timothée Chalamet’s chest-baring Louis Vuitton jacket or the prevalence of tailored white shirts on some of the night’s starriest arrivals, including Zendaya and Uma Thurman. And while Kristen Stewart’s subversive take on the short suit may have got the most of the attention when it came to idiosyncratic red carpet looks, there was another look cut above the knees that sparked plenty of conversation, worn by none other than Wesley Snipes.
The Blade star—who was attending the ceremony to present an award along with his White Men Can’t Jump costars Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez, in honor of the Spike Lee classic’s 30th anniversary—took to the red carpet wearing a custom burgundy suit. Looking at the top half, which featured a jacket with a cropped, squared-off hem and a shirt and bow tie in a matching hue, the only detail that might have seemed out of the ordinary was the silver brooch Snipes pinned to the lapels of his jacket. Look below the waistline, however, and Snipes had a radically different take on the classic red carpet suit. In place of a meticulously-cut, ankle-length trouser, the actor opted for a pair of bermuda shorts with matching leggings underneath and an embroidered silk loincloth.
