After months of subtle sartorial hints, Jeremy Allen White is now a Louis Vuitton ambassador. Known for his misanthropic roles across critically acclaimed TV shows, like Shameless and The Bear, White has yet to make the official jump into the luxury realm.
However, the actor attended both the SAG Awards and the Met Gala in full Louis Vuitton earlier this year after being introduced to the Maison and its men’s creative director, Pharrell Williams, by his longtime stylist, Jamie Mizrahi—a sure sign in the celebrity fashion world that something is brewing. Establishing a signature style with a house like Louis Vuitton feels like a natural next step, especially while his star power continues to grow as he preps for his upcoming role as Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me from Nowhere.

At the SAG Awards, White quietly subverted the traditional three-piece suit, opting for a boot-cut trouser and no necktie. Meanwhile at the Met just a few months later, The Iron Claw actor stepped out onto the carpet again in a sharply tailored three-piece suit, this time adhering to more traditional rules, and honoring the “tailored for you” theme with a slim necktie and straight-leg pant.
“Jeremy’s got a quiet confidence and authenticity that you can’t fake. It’s effortless. At Louis Vuitton, it’s about real people who move culture forward—and Jeremy lives that. We’re proud to welcome him into the family,” said Williams in a statement.

The announcement is accompanied by a video highlighting the behind-the-scenes of the shoot in White’s hometown, New York City. Relaxed and low-key, the collaborative campaign capitalises on the inherent style that White exudes and points to the burgeoning creative relationship between actor and brand.
