Leonardo DiCaprio makes ultimate power move at billionaire’s wedding
The wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos is the event of the year but one celeb has made the ultimate power move.
OPINION
Leonardo DiCaprio turning up to a billionaire’s wedding festivities in a plain black cap is the ultimate power move.
The 50-year-old Academy Award winner was seen heading to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s pre-wedding dinner in Venice, Italy.
You might have thought such an occasion would call for a black-tie look. You’d have been mistaken.
You have to give it to the movie star; there’s nothing quite like the power move of dressing down a little bit for the wedding event of the year.
The outfit, in general, is pretty run of the mill.
The 50-year-old stepped out wearing a plain navy suit with a white shirt and no tie, which was understated compared to his celebrity peers.
Keep in mind Brad Pitt, 61, is rolling around in bucket hats these days, and the billionaire groom has a loud shirt collection that should be feared, studied and respected.
There’s really nothing particularly remarkable about DiCaprio’s wedding attire except for the pesky hat.
I haven’t seen a hat steal the show this much since Guy Sebastian’s fedora era, where his love of little hats was on the brink of overshadowing his music career at one point.
The hat, which is just your standard black LA Lakers cap, was only made more comical in comparison to what other celebrities were wearing and the effort they’d put into their looks.
DiCaprio’s model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, arrived dressed like Cinderella, in a floral halter dress that laced up on the sides with an actual train.
Kim Kardashian and most of her famous family have turned up in skin-tight dresses and they’ve gone heavy-handed on the hair extensions; Ivanka Trump is in a gorgeous gown, and Oprah has gone all out.
Meanwhile the infamous hat DiCaprio is rocking resembles something you’d wear when trying to reach your 10,000 steps or if you wanted to look inconspicuous while conducting some low-key detective work.
Let’s be honest, it’s something you’d throw on while snooping out the front of your neighbours’ so you can stuff some rubbish in their bin because yours is overflowing.
DiCaprio was dressed more like he was working in sales and going to a client lunch on a casual Friday than attending a wedding that is rumoured to have cost over $60 million, and that is one of the more conservative estimates.
Perhaps DiCaprio was wearing the little black hat to avoid the paparazzi. Perhaps he was feeling under the weather.
Still, you’d assume if you value your privacy that much, you wouldn’t bother to attend a highly publicised billionaire wedding and rub shoulders with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady and Queen Rania of Jordan.
More Coverage
DiCaprio has clearly made an effort to attend, while admittedly not straying too far from his natural habitat of yachts brimming with supermodels.
But back to the hat … well, the hat just feels like nothing short of a power move.
While the rest of the celebrities are practically fawning over the billionaire ceremony and the hype, DiCaprio has chosen to play it cool and pull his cap even further down over his famous face.
