"People keep asking me to do a thread breaking down why these suits don't look great. I gather that these are famous, very well accomplished F1 drivers [I don't know these people]. Since I only talk about famous people, I will do a thread. 🧵"

He added:
"Please note nothing in this thread is meant to diminish the men in these clothes. If anything, it's the people who dressed them that failed them. I am only talking about the clothes. Hopefully, by pointing out these issues, you will learn something for when you're shopping."
Starting with Liam Lawson, Derek Guy pointed out the missing tie. He wrote:
"A pinstripe suit with a white business shirt cries out for tie. If you don't want to wear a tie, then you need a more casual shirt or a more casual suit. Additionally, the shoes are too chunky for this outfit."

He added:
"But the biggest issue is that there's something wrong with the tailoring. It's very easy to spot this on a patterned fabric because the vertical lines should run 'true,' which is to say straight up and down. See how these lines are swinging away from his body."
Next on the list was Lawson's former teammate, Yuki Tsunoda. Derek Guy wrote:
"I commend this person for trying to be adventurous but I just don't think it's working on him. The outfit is just too large. The proportions on the jacket are also strange [too truncated at the bottom]. But cool that he tried something different."

Alpine's Pierre Gasly was the best-dressed driver in the group, but a simple feedback never hurt anyone. Derek Guy pointed out:
"The best of the group but the jacket is too short and the pants are too slim, causing them to catch on his legs. I think he would look better in a longer jacket and slightly fuller pants, as well as shirt collar points that reach his lapels."

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc might have tried a 1980s style, but that didn't impress Derek Guy. He wrote:
"Shoulders strike me as too wide and trousers are too long. This can be a style [1980s Armani-esque]. I just don't feel it's working here. I think this would look better with narrower shoulders, slightly trimmer pants, and less break."

Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar had more points to take back, including one on his footwear. He wrote:
"Personally don't like this silhouette and really dislike the shape of the lapels. Bottom button shouldn't be fastened. Would look better with dress shoes, not sneakers."

Derek Guy then critiqued Carlos Sainz and Gabriel Bortoleto. He wrote:
"Both pairs of pants are too slim. Second person's jacket is too short. Both would look better with traditional dress shoes. Personally dislike luxury sneakers like Zegna's. Minimalist sneakers that cost $1,000 are inherently corny."

Lastly, the fashion expert pointed out that Hamilton, Brad Pitt, and Damson Idris were well-dressed. However, he admitted that they were mostly dressed by reputable stylists. He wrote:
"Some people will say I'm old fashioned. But I think these three guys at the premiere looked great. And look: their outfits follow basic tailoring principles: jackets bisect halfway from collar to floor; jacket silhouette flows into trousers. Outfits don't look old fashioned."
He added:
"I assume the three men above were helped by higher-powered stylists. Perhaps the F1 drivers were just put in branded clothes. IMO, if you are a celebrity, you should turn down brand deals. Don't wear clothes for money [you don't need more money]. Instead, hire a tailor."

Tom Holland Plays Coy About James Bond Casting Rumors: 'There's Speculation'
If there's any truth to rumors that Tom Holland is in the running to play James Bond, he's keeping it top-secret for now. As the BAFTA winner returns to one major franchise with Friday's Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser, he recently commented on 'speculation' that he's up for the coveted part in the Denis Villeneuve-helmed update of the franchise. More from Deadline Next James Bond Pic At Amazon MGM Studios To Be Penned By Steven Knight Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Costume Gets Teaser: 'Something Brand New Is Coming' Steven Knight Describes James Bond Writing Gig As "Bucket List" Project In First Interview Since Announcement 'Listen, there's speculation at the minute. We'll keep it to a minimum for now,' he said in a video on Gordon Ramsay's YouTube. 'We'll get there one day.' Holland added, 'Every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I've had.' Daniel Craig played the iconic role in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021). Following previous Bond stars Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, Craig's successor has not yet been chosen. In June, Amazon MGM Studios officially tapped Villeneuve to direct the next installment, and this week, Steven Knight was announced to write the film amid the studio's new 007 partnership with returning producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Tanya Lapointe will executive produce. After announcing that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the next film in the franchise, Amazon MGM's Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll said at CinemaCon in April that the pair of 'filmmaking legends' is currently in London working on the film. 'We are committed to honoring the legacy of this iconic character, while bringing a fresh, exhilarating new chapter to audiences around the world alongside Amy and David,' said Valenti, head of Film, Streaming and Theatrical. 'They are both in London getting started and couldn't be here tonight, but we wanted to thank them for what we know will be an incredible partnership. Thank you, Amy and David!'

Here Are (Some Of) The Best Artist Shirts Available Now
2025 has been a good year for music – not just for the various standout releases we've been blessed with like Little Simz'sLotus, Kevin Absract'sBlushand Jim Legxacy's recentblack british music,but for the conversations sparked at cultural intersections from Kendrick'shalftime showto Beyonce's best album double at theGrammys, too. We've seen Clipse get back to together anddebuta song at Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week show, instant-classic Tiny Desk Concerts from the likes ofDoechiiandBad Bunny, andVybz Kartelis back like he never left. As artists continue to adapt to an ever-evolving industry while navigating the rise of AI, unfavorable streaming contracts and other challenges, tried-and-true revenue streams are making a comeback – namely, tours and merch. In an increasingly digital era, artists and fans alike want a better connection to each other and tangible experiences and merchandise carry more weight than ever. FromBritney x BalenciagaandIce Spice x Mercedes-Benz, to label-made official merch from the likes of UMG'sBravado, it's a good time to be a fan. Because let's be honest, anyone can hit 'Follow' – but are you even a fan if you don't have the t-shirt?! We've rounded up some of favorite pieces of band merch – check them out below in alphabetical order now. Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph's – aka21 Savage– Wikipedia page describes him as a 'British rapper based in the United States.' But while the rapper might have been born in London, he was most definitely ATL-raised – and just in case you needed a reminder, the merch for hisAmerican Dream Tourincludes a t-shirt emblazoned with the Stars and Stripes behind a portrait of the artist staring you Aminé's13 Months of Sunshineliterally sounded like summertime – and it's that same sentiment that guides the album's solo graphic offering. 'Spring, Aminé, Fall, Winter' lands in black, all-caps lettering on a white tee and white tank-top, with a special edition landing for the rapper's one-night-only Brooklyn performance earlier this summer; that one includes an additional graphic on the backside to commemorate the Bad Bunnyis on a roll. His 30-night Puerto Rico residency is projected togenerate over $200 million USDin economic impact – and the accompanying merch is pretty cool The best part aboutBillie Eilish'smerch is that each piece looks like something the singer would actually wear. Eilish loves an oversized jersey, so the leadHit Me Hard And Softdelivery – a silver-hued football jersey – is perfect. Design wise, Eilish's face fronts the jersey, with additional patch-like graphics on the arms and her signatureblohshicon on the back. Another notable piece from the album's merch drop is the layered tour tee, complete with a camouflage long-sleeve underneath a black graphic tee with the tour's dates listed on the backside. (By the way, while we're talking Billie, checkthisout.)Shophere. Blink 182have been rocking since 1992, but found mainstream success in the early 2000s with their catchy pop-punk sound, irreverent humor, and era-defining anthems like 'All the Small Things' and 'What's My Age Again?'. Even if you aren't the biggest Blink fan, there's a good chance you know a word or two from one of their songs – like the eternally relatable line 'work sucks, I know' from their1999 hit single ATSM(sorry, boss… if you're reading this). Well, now you can get it on a t-shirt! And if you consider yourself an OG fan of the band, they've released a tee with the album art from 1995'sCheshire Cat(arguably one of their best).Shophere. Salmon was the color of choice forBon Iver'sSABLE, fABLE, engulfing the album cover and appearing in all of the project's promotional material, static visuals, and external collaborations. Since an all-salmon shirt might be a bit much for some, Justin Vernon made the color a bit more subtle in the album's lead merch, focusing instead on the best part of the album: his lyricism. There is a salmon-colored outline of Vernon in the middle of the long-sleeve T-shirt, but the highlight of the design is the lyrics 'There's a Rythmn' scribbled on the arms and down the Oops… he did it again. With his final collection for Balenciaga,Denma Gvasaliachanneled his inner '90s with this oversized Britney t-shirt. Is there anything more 2025 than aBritney Spears and Balenciagacollab?Shophere. This wasn't something we saw coming, but we're here for it. Thethree-way collabbetween hip-hop OGs Parappa the Rapper and De La Soul, together with Japanese brand WIND AND SEA, has resulted in some of the most wearable band merch we've seen. The collection is quite large – with everything from jackets to pants – but a stand-out for is this long-sleece Death Row Recordsneeds no introduction. Suge Knight's former label – nowownedby Snoop – is behind some of the most iconic rap records of the 1990s, including several of Tupac's. Perfect for fans of the label – past or While unfortunately sold out at the moment onDoechii'sofficial site, we had to include theAlligator Bites Never Healrugby tee, which features an album crest on the chest and an alligator graphic on the back. As one of the fan favorite cuts on the project, 'Denial Is A River' gets its own garment. On the front is a grid of the end clip of the music video with the production information listed underneath; the back aptly reads 'CAMERA CREW' in all It's been four years sinceDMXdied, but the New Yorker impact on East Coast hip-hop will be felt forever. Show your appreciation for the roughest Ryder with this In another unexpected partnership, Ice Spice and Mercedes-Benzlinked upas part of the German car giant's 'Class of Creators' program. From an iced-out CLA to a selection of tees and jerseys, these three pieces stood out for Jamiroquai'scelebrating the 20th anniversary of his iconic albumDynamitethis year. The car-obsessed Londoner is keeping it simple with the merch, though: together the Jamiroquai logo, his unmistakable 'Buffalo Man' character graces an all-black t-shirt and a zip-up The Buick GNX has been a key motif throughoutKendrick Lamar'sGNXalbum as well as its accompanying Grand National Tour with SZA. This theme is instilled more literally in the tour's graphic tees, one of which takes a retro feel with a graffiti-esque GNX graphic and 'Gloria' on top. Elsewhere, a mechanic's work shirt is emulated with 'Gloria Auto Repair and Auto Body Inc.' on one side of the chest and a vintage patch on the other. Additional retro lettering lands on the back of the pastel blue silhouette, Kevin Abstract'ssharp creative direction extends all the way to his graphic tees – and while we don't yet have merch forBlush, we do have quite the selection fromBlanketas well as a standout cobalt blueARIZONA BABYtee. Some ofBlanket's graphics take cues from the tracklist, while others feature the Texas flag (in homage to Abstract's Houston hometown.)Shophere. Kid Cudi'sINSANOvisuals all reveled in vibrant hues, and the accompanying merch followed suit. No stranger to design and creative direction, it's clear Cudi's merch comes from no amateur, with theINSANOgo-around carried by a pair of bright blue and pink crewnecks, imbued with a colorful face graphic in the middle atopINSANOin lime green and lyrics printed along the sleeves and Lil Wayne'ssixthThe Carteralbum dropped in June, along with a world-exclusive merchpop-up in London.

Their 'Hot Lips' logo, created by English art designer John Pasche in 1971, is about as iconic as it gets for band logos – and it has found its way onto these t-shirts from the band's collaboration with Slipknot'smerch is unrivalled. The band has been celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut studio album for the past year, with its cover art and song lyrics song inspiring theirrecent collabwith PLEASURES.

In 2010, the Library of Congress selectedDear Mamafor preservation in the National Recording Registry, making one of his then already most iconic and emotionally resonant tracks a permanent part of U.S. history. In the song, Tupac raps honestly about his mother's problems with drugs – 'And even as a crack fiend, Mama, You always was a black queen, Mama, I finally understand, For a woman it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man' – lyrics that have become cultural touchstones.

Dog Can't Hide Her Suspicion Visiting Stranger's House for the First Time
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The day owners bring home their new pet is filled with nothing but excitement and joy, from everyone involved, but one dog showed how skeptical the animals might be of strangers. Reddit user ChrisCrashOut shared on the subreddit channel r/dogpictures earlier this week how his relationship with his new pup started a bit rocky. From the moment he brought her into the car and began the drive home, she showed her skepticism. In the picture, the tiny dog sat on his lap. She first looked up at him with big, round eyes that seemed hopeful for what this new adventure would bring. However, red flags began to rise; who was this human? Squinting her eyes, she looked into his soul, trying to get a read on what his intentions were with her. Little did she know, his only plan was to bring her into her forever home. The owner didn't seem to mind the dog's reservations. He called it a "fair reaction" in the caption because, well, she didn't know him, realizing the potential stranger danger. Plus, she was going to an unfamiliar home. Screenshots from a July 27 Reddit post of a dog sitting in her new owner's lap, giving him a side eye because he's a stranger. Screenshots from a July 27 Reddit post of a dog sitting in her new owner's lap, giving him a side eye because he's a stranger. ChrisCrashOut/Reddit Her hesitations continued once they arrived home, as she was greeted by unfamiliar dogs in an unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar smells. The entire day became overwhelming. "My other two dogs were very excited to meet her, but she was tired and slept all day," he told Newsweek via Reddit. But after a good night's rest, she knew there was nothing to worry about while being with this so-called stranger. It finally clicked for her: she was home. "By the next day, she was already playing/bullying my other two grown dogs and felt integrated into her new family," he said. What Do the Comments Say? The Reddit post quickly melted viewers' hearts, bringing in 643 upvotes and 17 comments as of Friday. They fell in love with her suspicious reaction and kept calling her adorable. "Bless her little face. I hope she settles fast and you have a peaceful night," commented one person. Another jokingly wrote what the dog was likely thinking: "I mean, you seem nice, but we'll see what kinds of foods and such await. A third said: "How dare you! Unacceptable!"
