There’s something refreshing about watching Daniel Craig shed his skin. He recently got his chance at Luca Guadagnino’s most prestigious award Queer—which earned him a National Board of Review Best Actor award, a Golden Globe nomination and serious Oscar consideration—Craig has been turning heads not just with his raw performance but with an impressive style that feels authentic rather than calculated. The man who once described the intricacies of being a jaded James Bond in the most subtle way is now showing us for the first time in Loewe knitwear and sunglasses, looking incredibly relaxed.
The transformation did not happen overnight. Working with stylist Taylor McNeill, Craig dismantled the highly polished image that had defined his Bond years, adding something personal. At the LA premiere of Queerhe paired a gray pinstriped suit with sneakers and a casual white tee—the kind of understated mix that might be unthinkable during his 007 news tour. It resonated enough to spawn “What’s Daniel (Craig) Wearing,” an Instagram account dedicated to tracking his evolving wardrobe. At 56, it seems he has finally found his comfort zone, and it’s nowhere near the Savile Row suits that once defined him.
