Andrew Garfield's Eye-Catching Look of the Week

Andrew Garfield's Unconventional Fashion Statement

Last night, British actor Andrew Garfield arrived at the London Film Festival premiere of his latest film “We Live in Time” sporting a surprising accessory. No, not the yellow paisley opera scarf — the lifesize cutout of co-star Florence Pugh. Wedged under his arm like a beloved clutch bag on a night out, Pugh’s rigid two-dimensional form topped off Garfield’s outfit perfectly.

Details of Garfield’s Attire

• Custom '70s-inspired Valentino suit by Alessandro Michele in a dark peacock shade
• Busy, florid silk shirt
• Black leather Valentino loafers matched his belt

However, Garfield wasn’t complete without his 5 foot 4 inches of cardboard. At various points along the red carpet, he gleefully set Pugh down, posing with an arm wrapped around her inanimate waist.

Reactions to Garfield's Look

The real Pugh — who couldn’t make the premiere due to filming constraints — shared images of Garfield and her flattened doppelganger on Instagram, calling the move “genius.”

Celebrity Trends and Cardboard Companions

This isn't the first time a celebrity has used cardboard to create a presence. Back in 2010, Will Ferrell arrived at a “Megamind” panel at Comic-Con carrying a cutout of Brad Pitt, after rumors spread about the actor's appearance. Additionally, there’s a trend across the US where students are opting for cardboard cutouts as prom dates.

To those unconvinced whether Garfield’s cardboard companion can be categorized as an accessory, its definition, according to Michael Kors, is an “exclamation mark of a man or woman’s outfit.” More than any matching shoe and belt combination, carrying a cutout of your co-star is perhaps the loudest statement you can make.
