Brad Pitt's role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is closer to home than we thought; since the actor started dating Ines de Ramon, 34 his style and appearance have undergone an incredible transformation.
Ines, a jewelry designer and vice president of jewelry company Anita Ko, seems to have brought a fresh influence to Brad's aesthetic.
The couple made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival this week, and fans were quick to point out his youthful appearance.
The pair began dating two years ago, and since then, Brad has never looked better. Ines, who was previously married to The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley from 2019 to 2023, has an eye for style, and it appears this is rubbing off on Brad as well.
Brad's approach to self-care
Brad's debonair looks haven't only been influenced by dating a younger woman. In a 2019 interview with Esquire, he revealed that his approach to skincare and health has evolved dramatically over the years.
"I grew up with a country mentality, kind of, you know, Dial soap once a day and then move on," he said.
"I think that if we love ourselves, if we treat ourselves a little better, then there are long-lasting benefits to that."
This newfound self-care mindset may have helped the father of six maintain his youthful glow naturally.
Fashion forward
Ines's influence on her partner's style is evident to the naked eye. As a jewelry designer and fashionista, her eye for the latest trends seems to have inspired Brad to elevate his fashion game.
While Brad has always had a natural sense of style, often rocking classic leather jackets and well-tailored suits, his looks in recent public appearances seem younger and more on-trend.
The Oscar winner stepped out on the racetrack with his girlfriend in July for the British Grand Prix, sporting a yellow jacket zipped over a white, untucked shirt and cream pants.
He completed the look with a houndstooth bucket hat, making him look much younger than his 60 years.
Fresh style
The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor's wardrobe has noticeably shifted since he began dating Ines.
Known for his understated style in the past, Brad now favors more eye-catching looks that reflect a youthful vibe.
He sported an unusual tailored brown suit at the Santa Barbara Film Festival Awards in February, looking like he had just stepped out of his '90s heartthrob days.
Brad has also upped his jewelry and watch game- possibly influenced by Ines' background in the jewelry industry. We love an accessory king!
Quitting smoking
One of the most important decisions the 60-year-old has made for his health and appearance was quitting smoking, he revealed to Esquire.
He admitted that he struggled with moderation when it came to smoking.
"I don't have that ability to do just one or two a day," he said. "It's not in my makeup. I'm all in. And I'm going to drive it into the ground. I've lost my privileges."
This lifestyle change likely improved his overall health, skin, and appearance.
Whether it's his choice of accessories or his skincare routine, Brad's relationship with Ines appears to have led him to embrace a more modern and youthful version of himself.
