When it comes to trends right now, the 2000s are calling, and it looks like Brad Pitt has answered the phone.

At the Venice Film Festival on Sunday (1 September), the Hollywood star sported a new hairstyle that was a nostalgic return to the iconic tousled Y2K look he opted for around 2006. This was his post-Mr & Mrs Smith era, while still with Angelina Jolie.

In Venice this weekend, Brad was spotted joking around with long-term co-star George Clooney as the pair waved to crowds from a boat. Brad rocked his tousled look with a light blue jacket over a classic white T-shirt and a pair of statement aviator sunglasses.

Later that evening, the pair took to the red carpet in smart suits. George arrived in a tuxedo alongside his wife Amal, who wore a stunning yellow gown, while Brad wore a black monochrome suit look and was joined by his new girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, who was chic in an asymmetric white dress.

Brad Pitt was attending Venice for the premiere of his latest film, Wolfs, which also stars George Clooney, as well as The Office US’s Amy Ryan and Austin Abrams of The Walking Dead.

The film’s lead actors posed together on the red carpet, and Amy stole the show in a structured pink gown.
