John Corbett Just Wore Aidan’s Most-Trolled Outfit On The Red Carpet
“I knew that looked familiar.”
John Corbett just stepped out in that Aidan Shaw jacket (again).
Per People, Corbett and his wife Bo Derek attended the Jan. 10 premiere of Apple TV’s Masters of the Air alongside the likes of Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Austin Butler.
However, it was Corbett’s red carpet attire that caught the attention of eagle-eyed And Just Like That fans: A jacket nearly identical to the one worn by his character, Aidan, in Season 2. Yes, that one.
Aidan’s AJLT Jacket
Fans got their initial glimpse of Aidan’s $600 Belstaff jacket in Jan. 2023, when on-set photos of Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) reunion with Aidan first dropped.
Corbett sported the divisive jacket once again in Feb. 2023 while he and Parker filmed an intimate And Just Like That scene in New York City.
The pair’s highly-anticipated on-screen reunion finally aired in AJLT Season 2, Episode 7, but Aidan’s regrettable fashion choices were all fans could talk about at the time.
“Monstrous Jacket”
Corbett’s latest outing in Aidan’s “monstrous jacket,” as one Redditor described it, has sparked a similar reaction from And Just Like That fans.
“I knew that looked familiar. God awful jacket,” one fan posted on Reddit, while another said that it “certainly looks better unbuttoned.”
“Someone posted a Photoshop picture of him as Micheal [Myers] in this jacket and I can’t un-see it now,” one user also commented, likening Corbett’s attire to the Halloween franchise’s iconic horror movie villain.
While many didn’t care for Aidan’s And Just Like That winter wear, others “didn't know that the jacket was such a big thing.”
“It just looks like a Barbour jacket,” another user chimed in. “They are super common in England.”
“Leading Man Vibe”
And Just Like That Season 2 costume designer, Molly Rogers, discussed the much-maligned jacket with Variety in Aug. 2023, revealing that Corbett “felt very strongly” about wearing it on the show.
“I think it was a leading man vibe. It’s a romantic jacket,” Rogers explained, before admitting that she isn’t the jacket’s biggest fan, either.
“The only problem with it, in my opinion, is that he was too buttoned up,” she added. “But those are sometimes actor choices and you’re on the set, you’re not the fashion police. But in the end, the actor has to feel good.”
