Actor and producer Brad Pitt has been known for many roles in his 55 years, over 30 of which he’s been active on the acting scene. He has gone from heartthrob and sex symbol to serious actor over the years and linked to famous women and charitable causes. Here’s a select look at Brad Pitt’s fashion and film showcase.
The 1980s to the 1990s
It was in 1991’s Thelma & Louise that Pitt first attracted widespread attention. At the premiere, Pitt wasn’t as polished as in his later years yet he wore an oversized suit, stylish for the time, in khaki colour with a white button-up and a brown silk tie.

During these years, Pitt experimented with his look, seeming half smart and half grunge. He always wore suit trousers and a button-up with varying jackets.

In 2001, Ocean’s Eleven came out to wide success. In 2004, both Troy and Ocean’s Twelve premiered. Troy was the first film produced by the production company Pitt formed with then-wife Aniston. In 2005, Mr & Mrs Smith came out which helped cleave his marriage at the time and form his long-term partnership with Angelina Jolie, whom he later married.
