Matt Smith Goes Totally Tonal at the 'Game of Thrones' Premiere

Doth our eyes deceive us, or ist another style lord born unto the people? Per chance, m'liege. Matt Smith has always been a dresser, but in the run up to the release of Game Of Thrones: House of the Dragon, he seems to have really stepped things up a notch, and in one very slick, very easy to mimic direction: he's gone totally tonal.

First there was the all-white look at Wimbledon, courtesy of Ralph Lauren. A safari-ish vibe for Centre Court, replete with chest pockets and pleated, 'Gurkha-belted' trousers. So far so simple, but the smart move was to punctuate proceedings with low-profile tassel loafers, an especially mega Rolex Datejust and keyhole shades. Amongst the Windsor knots and blue blazers of SW19, Smith stood out for his minimalist chic (and likely survived the heatwave better than most, too.)

And last night he did the same, only in reverse. At the GOT premiere in LA, he sported an equally-louche but conversely shaded all-black Paul Smith suit, and nailed the minimal/tonal thing once again. Lifted directly from the S/S'23 collection (look 15), the generously-cut suit and v-neck tee perfectly demonstrate that even the simplest styling can lead to the sleekest look, providing everything fits as it should. Demonstrating that canny restraint once again, Smith opted for simple Chelsea boots, a low-profile white gold, yellow gold and rose gold chain by Cartier and Paul Smith sunglasses. We're still a few weeks from GOT hitting screens, so there's still plenty of time for more Smithian minimalism, and we wait with bated breath.
