Glen Powell has emerged as one of the 2020’s top leading men — with sartorial style to match.
Over the years, Powell has grown on the fashion front with an array of sharp style moments. In the 2010’s, the actor stepped onto the scene in traditional neutral suiting and brogues. Through time, as well as work with stylists including Warren Alfie Baker, his wardrobe expanded through relationships with brands like Valentino, Christian Louboutin and Armani. Today, Powell’s style has transformed with sharp tailoring, timeless boots and oxfords — as seen throughout his recent press tour for the rom-com “Anyone But You” — to create a well-rounded lesson in modern menswear dressing.
Below, discover Powell’s style transformation over the years.

“Writers” Premiere, 2012
In 2012, Powell laced into a pair of black leather brogues to attend the “Writers” premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The actor paired the staple shoe with a similarly neutral look: a dark gray cross-hatched suit, layered atop a white collared shirt and skinny black tie.
Valentino Menswear Fall 2018 Show, 2018
2018 found Powell in the front row for Valentino’s fall men’s show, following star-making turns in projects like “Scream Queens,” “Hidden Figures” and “Set It Up.” On this occasion, the actor wore a pair of the luxury label’s black and tan leather sneakers with a two-toned suit. The set was given a relaxed ease with a graphic T-shirt, as well as a tonal blue and white overcoat.
“Top Gun: Maverick” UK Premiere, 2022
For the UK premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick” in London, Powell arrived to the red carpet in truly dapper fashion. The actor was styled by Warren Alfie Baker in chic black Christian Louboutin Oxfords, paired with a sharp Giorgio Armani tuxedo — complete with a coordinating velvet blazer. His ensemble was finished with a gleaming Omega watch.
MTV Movie & TV Awards, 2022
For the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, Powell continued his sharp suiting streak with a vacation-ready feel. The actor hit the red carpet at the event in Santa Monica in sand-toned suede Louboutin boots, paired with a pale beige Canali suit and white linen shirt with a deep neckline. For a tonal finish, Baker finished Powell’s look with an Omega watch and brown-tinted Ray-Ban sunglasses.
“Anyone But You” New York Premiere, 2023
In 2023, Powell’s dapper style took center stage during his press tour for the romantic comedy “Anyone But You.” For the film’s New York City premiere, the actor stepped out in smooth black leather boots. A cross-hatched, dark teal double-breasted Brioni suit atop a low-cut white shirt completed the look with a minimal, effortless flair.
