Popular writer and fashion commentator Derek Guy took to X to share a side-by-side comparison of Daniel Craig in his old, tight-fitted suit alongside his recent look from the Venice Film Festival, captioning it, “I bullied Daniel Craig into sizing up.” He added, “I got so much heat from Daniel Craig fans when I first pointed out his bad outfit choice. But look, now he looks better. Everyone who said he looked sexy in tight suits will have to admit he looks sexier in something that actually fits.”
Let’s decode Daniel’s latest Venice Film Festival look and take some style notes from the actor.
Craig, 56, and wife Rachel Weisz made a stylish pair in coordinating light hues during their recent appearance. The Knives Out and James Bond star rocked a grey blazer over white trousers and a crisp white shirt with the top buttons undone, creating a laid-back yet sharp look. His well-fitted trousers and perfect hemline made him a total showstopper. Keeping accessories chic, Craig completed his outfit with transparent tinted aviator sunglasses and a pair of sleek white shoes, looking absolutely dapper. His Oscar-winning wife, Rachel Weisz matched his vibe in a chic cream dress adorned with white floral detailing.

It’s like the glow-up we never asked for but definitely needed. Tight suits were so yesterday; now he’s rocking the ‘I can breathe and still look good’ vibe. Fashion redemption at its finest!”
What we can conclude from this is—if you’re still rocking those skin-tight suits with the too-short hemlines, it’s time to ditch them. Like, right now!
