What on earth is Jared Leto wearing?

THE actor is known for his eccentric style, but he took it to the next level with a downright bizarre appearance at the London Fashion Awards.

Film Clip: 'Suicide Squad'

AWARD-WINNING actor Jared Leto may well have taken out another gong thanks to his appearance at the London Fashion Awards this week: Worst dressed.

The Suicide Squad star is known for his eccentric, colourful style, but his latest OTT sartorial efforts saw him rock the red carpet looking like the love child of Willy Wonka and Australia’s own fashion-forward Lee Lin Chin.

There’s so much to unpack here:

The shin-length silk frock coat delicately placed atop Leto’s shoulders, his arms stubbornly refusing to enter the sleeves.

The traditional Asian embellishments adorning the jacket including a Koi carp, water lily and, uh ... Donald Duck.

The sunnies (worn at night, duh), which look suspiciously like transition lenses.

That deep, angry shade of pants. Puce? Mauve? Aubergine? And why the white stripe up the side — is it to make him go faster?

That giant gold bow on his collar, lending him an undeniably Mariah Carey-esque air of festivity.

The ‘Michael Jackson / work experience at Coles’ combo of black shoes and white socks.

Finally, the haircut, ripped straight from Anne Hathaway in Les Mis.

It’s certainly a look. And while we may judge and snicker, it probably cost more than your average house deposit to pull together. You keep doin’ you, Jared Leto.
