Ever since Matthieu Blazy took the reins at Bottega Veneta, Jacob Elordi has been in the gang. He models for campaigns. He sits front row at most shows. And even before he signed on the dotted line and became the Italian house's newest ambassador, the actor was already a die-hard disciple of the brand's intrecciato bags. So, when he pulled up in Venice, he arrived in a workwear combo from Bottega that's not even available to the public yet. Because of course!
At the Palazzo Van Axel, a 15th-century gothic pile of bricks, the Saltburn star rocked the Grain de Poudre blouson. Part of the pre-spring 2025 collection, this chore jacket was made in Italy and fitted with a straight collar and relaxed shoulders. He wore it fully unbuttoned, and layered it on top of an all-white vest because, again, workwear.
The Australian actor then finished off the fit with a graily baseball cap from Paly Hollywood – a culty menswear label that he seemingly can't get enough of.
Bottega Veneta has always done classic tailoring very well. Even during Daniel Lee's era and Tomas Maier's 17-year reign, suits and trousers and ties have always been its thing. But under Blazy's direction, not only has he mastered stuff that you might wear to work, he's also mastered workwear too. It's fun. It's experimental. And it's elevated. If you spend your life in double-knee carpenter pants, you want something that ticks the box but still feels extra special for a night out in Venice. Jacob Elordi and Bottega Veneta are doing just that.
