When you think of Daniel Craig, the image of the suave James Bond in a sharp tuxedo likely comes to mind. After years of portraying the iconic British spy, it’s no surprise that Craig’s real-life fashion often mirrored his on-screen persona. However, as 2024 unfolds, the actor’s red-carpet looks are shifting dramatically, moving away from Bond’s traditional tuxedos toward more eclectic and modern styles.
This month, while promoting his latest project, Queer, directed by Luca Guadagnino, Craig has been showcasing an increasingly adventurous approach to fashion. His red-carpet wardrobe is now overseen by stylist Taylor McNeill, who has helped the actor elevate his style with fresh, contemporary looks that exude confidence without seeming overly forced. Craig’s outfits have become so popular that they even inspired a dedicated Instagram account, What’s Daniel (Craig) Wearing?
A standout moment occurred at the Los Angeles premiere of Queer, where Craig sported a gray pinstriped suit from Loewe. The actor paired it with a casual white T-shirt, low-top sneakers, and a bold pair of yellow-tinted sunglasses, creating a mix of laid-back and stylish that perfectly suited the occasion.
Sunglasses, in particular, have become a signature element of Craig’s red-carpet style. From oversized aviators in Venice this past September to a striking pair of blue-tinted glasses at a BAFTA party in October, Craig is turning heads with his eye-catching accessories.
But his recent fashion hits aren’t a one-off. In September, Craig made waves when he attended the Loewe spring 2025 show in Paris with his wife, Rachel Weisz. The couple turned heads in complementary statement knitwear. Craig wore a multicolored hand-knit turtleneck, designed by artist Richard Hawkins, paired with a slouchy leather jacket, baggy cargo pants, and, of course, his signature yellow sunglasses. The look was a far cry from the typical Hollywood red-carpet uniform—and all the more refreshing for it.
It’s clear that Craig is leaning into a more distinctive, playful approach to dressing, shedding the conventional suits for more daring and unexpected choices. Whether his bold new style is influenced by his new stylist, or by fellow actors like Paul Mescal and Colman Domingo, who are also known for their statement-making fashion, it’s clear that the transformation is paying off. Daniel Craig is quickly becoming one of the best-dressed men in Hollywood, and his fashion risks are only adding to his growing style legacy.
