When heâs not wearing a cutting-edge suit on a red carpet, or donning a leather jumpsuit as Elvis, or doing Rick Owens cosplay as Feyd-Rautha, Austin Butler generally keeps a pretty low fashion profile. The actorâs personal wardrobe tends to involve lots of Adidas track pants, retro-rugged outerwear, and baseball caps worn low over his eyes. When heâs off the clock, heâs off the clockâand he dresses for that part, too.
As per usual, Butler looked easygoing on two recent New York City date nights to see trending Broadway shows with his girlfriend, the model Kaia Gerber. On Wednesday, he and Gerber attended a preview of the upcoming play Job, which stars Succession actors Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon. Photographed exiting the Hayes Theater after the show, the actor wore a thin, boxy, and slightly cropped gray T-shirt with loose black slacks, bright white Nike Cortezes (the favorite sneaker of fellow low-key Hollywood âItâ guy Jeremy Allen White), and a San Francisco Giants cap.
Gerber was also dressed simply in dark low-rise slacks, black pumps, and a navy graphic tee printed with the phrase âCome To My House I Have Great Books.â On that front, thereâs likely truth in advertisingâthe model has hosted a virtual book club called Library Science since 2020. (The most recent title on their reading list? The Job script, written by playwright Max Wolf Friedlich.)
Butlerâs outfit, though, was nearly identical to the one he wore last week when he and Gerber went to the opening night of Cole Escolaâs play Oh, Mary!, which also just made its splashy transfer to Broadway. That evening ââat the Lyceum Theatre, he supplemented his incidental theatergoing uniformâsame gray tee, (seemingly) same black pants, same Cortezesâwith a black crewneck sweatshirt thrown over his shoulders and a nondescript black trucker hat. (Speaking of, how often do you see a blank trucker hat out in the wild? On Butler, it feels like a more dude-ish version of Kendall Royâs $625 logo-free Loro Piana baseball cap.)
