On the court at Wimbledon 2024, there was a changing of the guard. Carlos Alcaraz, still just 21, dismantled an out-of-sorts Novak Djokovic, who is now reaching the twilight of a GOAT career. Up in the stands, the exact opposite result was playing out: James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, looking never better at 71, putting the younger spectators among the VIP section to shame.
During the last day of The Championships, Brosnan and his impeccable head of silver showed up in a navy double-breasted suit—specifically, the Kent from Ralph Lauren’s ultra-elite Purple Label line. Made from a lightweight linen blend with razor-sharp lapels featured across the front, this one also had a classic ticket pocket along the right-hand side—slick, old school, but hella cool, just like the man himself.
The GoldenEye star finished things off with some perfectly-polished leather Oxfords, also by Ralph Lauren. But what really had fashion guys gassed up were all of his banging accessories. Up top, Brosnan rocked a pair of Jacques Marie Mage “Dealan” sunglasses in the rare ‘Cameo’ colorway, which was limited to just 350 pieces globally. On his wrist, he wore a favorite watch he’s owned for over 20 years, the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945. “I bought this when I was in New York doing Laws of Attraction with Julianne Moore,” Brosnan told GQ about the piece in 2022. “I bought it, I came out of the store, my knees were shaking [over] how much money I just dropped.”
So kids, if you’re really struggling to find your own style aesthetic and you just can’t seem to pull off leopard print coats and Tabi shoes, get Pierce Brosnan on your moodboard ASAP. Because no matter what era we’re living in, a classic suit will always work.
