Oscar-nominated filmmaker rianjohnson steps out of his comfort zone for the big night, with help from THR style contributing editor Andrew Weitz
. "He was totally open to it." Weitz added formal trousers, a crisp white evening shirt and a matching grosgrain bow tie.
For a second dinner-jacket option, Weitz offered Johnson a silk Giorgio Armani in a textured black-on-black pattern. Set off by narrow velvet shawl lapels, it was a flattering fit for the 5-foot-6 director. "Bigger lapels would have eaten him up and looked like he was trying too hard," Weitz says. "As soon as he put this on, you could see he just knew that it was effortless."
Post-consultation, Johnson admits he's still unsure about his Oscars choice, but appreciates "even the floral jacket — that is a little bit out-there, but it was also incredibly well-cut. And the one with the black-on-black pattern is a tweak on the traditional, which I really enjoy."
