Daniel Craig and Robert Pattinson Dressed Like They’re on a Workplace Sitcom We’d Love to See
StyleBoth stars showed up to Jonathan Anderson’s Dior debut in their office-ready best.By Yang-Yi GohJune 27, 2025Save this storySaveSave this storySavePicture this: James Bond and Edward Cullen walk into an office. Bond (or, OK, fine, Daniel Craig) is an uptight middle manager; Edward (still just Edward to me) is his disheveled, ne’er-do-well underling. Antics ensue. Laughs are had. Friends are made along the way. Who wouldn’t binge this show on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, seltzer in hand, pizza rolls browning in the oven? Paramount Plus, my direct deposit is open.That’s the 22-episode season that immediately flashed before my eyes the moment I bore witness to these remarkable images of Craig and Robert Pattinson (right, that’s his name) arriving at designer Jonathan Anderson’s hotly-anticipated Dior Men debut at Paris Men’s Fashion Week earlier today.Daniel Craig BERTRAND GUAY/Getty ImagesRobert Pattinson Marc PiaseckiOn the runway, Anderson presented a critically adored clash of Regency-era flourishes (flouncy silk cravats and drapey velvet dinner jackets) with the bookish post-prep staples (striped button-downs, washed jeans, woven sandals) he’s made his signature at his namesake label JW Anderson and previous employer Loewe. Pattinson, Craig, and many more of the starry names that came to pay their respects—Sabrina Carpenter, Lakeith Stanfield, Josh O’Connor, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna among them—leaned into the latter, resulting in looks that unfortunately forced me to admit that the “corpcore” trend that so many fashion writers and TikTokkers have lazily been pushing for months now might actually be real and good.A$AP Rocky and Rihanna Arnold Jerocki/Getty ImagesJosh O'Connor Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Getty ImagesOf course, Craig and Pattinson approached this particular assignment in wildly different ways. Craig—despite his recent Anderson-powered forays into looser, freakier, capital-F fashion—kept things relatively classic and locked-in, adopting the GQ office uniform of a tweedy blazer and jeans as his own. He paired that combo with a crisp striped dress shirt, a repp stripe tie, a gold Omega watch (I’ll leave it to my pal Cam Wolf to figure out if it’s another unreleased tease), and a pair of daddish gray New Balances. Fellas in your 40s and 50s, you could do a lot worse than following in this man’s footsteps everyday at work.Daniel Craig WWD/Getty ImagesMeanwhile, as is his wont, RPatz went full gonzo expressionist with his take on business casual. His collar was flipped up in a slapdash manner that paralleled the triumphant swoop of his hair. His tie was artfully askew. His two-sizes-too-big pleated chinos were wrinkled in a way that suggested he’d just rolled into work direct from an after-hours. His suede coach’s jacket looked borrowed from dad in the best possible way. The man looked goddamn incredible—so incredible, in fact, that I regret pretending I only remembered him from Twilight a few paragraphs ago. (The Rover is a gem!) Fresh college graduates who just landed your first jobs: If you’re not showing up everyday with even a modicum of this man’s sauce, you’re doing it wrong.Robert Pattinson BERTRAND GUAY/Getty ImagesAll in all, a massively successful day for Jonathan Anderson. His more advanced offerings on the runway gave the fashion stans plenty to chew on (look for our in-depth review tomorrow), and the more accessible stuff he put on his celebrity acolytes in the front row gave regular folk like you and me something to aspire to at our 9-to-5s. Oh, yeah, not to mention the unexpected pleasure of imagining Benoit Blanc screaming at Batman to get the hell into his office with those reports right now.
