LAW’S STYLE ELEMENTS
JUXTAPOSITION
Law’s approach to styling includes a few different styles of juxtaposition. He has a knack for mixing two different elements in fashion that make sense. An example of this is pairing a sporty shoe with a dressy look which makes his outfit uniquely come together. Here he belts a hoodie to accentuate the waist and create structure from a casual piece.
POWER SUIT
As a stylist, his signature and go-to look is a power suit. From different colors to textures and silhouettes, he’s never seen in red carpets without a matching suit – a classic yet a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. With Law Roach, he makes sure to be grandeur when he attends events.
ECCENTRIC ELEMENTS
Law’s look is never complete without eccentric pieces that make his outfit stand out from the rest. From fur and pleats to striking colors, he has mastered mixing and matching intimidating pieces without them clashing.
ON THEME
If you can’t spot Law anywhere at a launch, that’s because he’s usually backstage or near the red carpet prepping his muses before the walk. But when he emerges you’ll be sure to spot him with an on-theme look alongside his red carpet darlings while allowing them to shine. One of the looks we’ve fallen in loved with is the iconic Robot Suit moment with Zendaya for Dune 2 movie premiere. Law makes astounding moves and proves that celebrity dressing can be done with style and imagination.
ANDROGYNOUS
One of the major style points that Law has in his back pocket is his ability to mix feminine and masculine pieces. These include dresses with pants, suits with heeled boots, and it even shows up in his choices of accessories. He breaks gender styling norms with ease and confidence.
