Austin Butler Shows Men Can Method Dress Too at The Bikeriders Press Conference

At The Bikeriders press conference in Sydney, actor Austin Butler showcased that men can indeed method dress, elevating his outfit to align with the theme of the upcoming film.

Butler’s attire, though not as overtly thematic as some celebrities’ meta-level style choices, captured the essence of the Midwestern motorcycle thriller. Clad in a vintage Buco motorcycle jacket from What Goes Around Comes Around, adorned with silver stud details and a relaxed silhouette, Butler set the tone for the press event.

Pairing the distinctive jacket with a distressed vintage graphic t-shirt, cigarette-style pants, and black boots, Butler embodied the spirit of The Bikeriders with a subtle sartorial touch.

The standout moment arrived as Butler posed atop a Harley Davidson motorcycle, aligning his ensemble with the film’s narrative as stark imagery reminiscent of Zendaya‘s tennis themed attire for and Margot Robbie‘s recent style streak.

Later at The Bikeriders premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, Butler switched gears into the classic male actor red carpet uniform. Sporting a pinstripe double breasted suit and a white button-down shirt, he exuded elegance and sophistication.

In The Bikeriders, a film directed by Jeff Nichols, Butler shares the screen with Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, depicting the tale of the Chicago biker gang known as the Vandals. Inspired by Danny Lyon’s photography book of the same name, the movie promises a gritty and compelling narrative.

Butler’s comments on the intense filming experiences, including bike riding scenes without helmets and high-speed chases through cornfields, shed light on the visceral nature of the project. His trust in the cast and crew’s abilities and the exhilarating challenges faced while shooting reflect the dedication to bringing Lyon’s iconic imagery to life on screen.
