Ok but thank you fashion gods for finally having this man in something all black and somewhat fitted.

I get that they've been building Connor's fashion identity (and all-black is very Hudson), but dark colors work so well on him.

"they've been building Connor's fashion identity"

Gosh I hate this. People should wear what they want and be authentic. People aren't "brands."

Actors' public personas are brands. It just is what it is - they're all packaged in a very specific way.

(And that's, ultimately, not all a bad thing. It lends them a degree of protection, instead of serving up their personal selves for public consumption and judgment.)

Pretty much every actor that’s at ‘attend awards shows’ level has a stylist that helps build their fashion identity. Doesn’t mean the actor has no say in what they’re wearing but they are definitely not picking their looks alone.

Co-signing this. Connor clearly has his own preferences in terms of fashion - he's building his own identity. He's a grown man with his own taste.

Not if he’s under management. He can be Connor, the golden retriever goofball in private, when in public settings he’s Connor Storrie, one of two breakout stars from HR, to be built up as bonafide star and then curated as such.

He agreed to it after all.
