Jacob Elordi stepped onto the red carpet for the world premiere of The Dog Stars in London on August 20 wearing a navy pinstripe suit by Bottega Veneta. The actor attended the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square premiere alongside co-stars Margaret Qualley and Josh Brolin, with the film set to arrive in U.S. theaters on August 28.
Elordi's premiere look consisted of a navy pinstriped suit paired with black dress shoes and black-rimmed sunglasses. Contemporary coverage from the event identifies the suit as Bottega Veneta, although no individual designer has been publicly confirmed as responsible for the specific look.
That distinction is important when discussing the outfit's designer credit. Bottega Veneta is the confirmed fashion house, but there is currently no reliable source establishing that the suit was designed specifically by creative director Louise Trotter or another named designer.
Jacob Elordi's Established Bottega Veneta Affinity
The Bottega Veneta appearance also fits into an established relationship between Elordi and the Italian luxury house. Bottega Veneta named the Australian actor a brand ambassador in 2024, following a period in which he had already been seen wearing the label.
Later that year, Elordi starred in Bottega Veneta's Going Places campaign, photographed by Alec Soth in Utah and Nevada. The campaign centered on movement and travel, with Elordi wearing pieces from the brand's collection and appearing throughout the desert landscape.
His association with Bottega Veneta therefore extends beyond a single red-carpet appearance. The The Dog Star's premiere look represents another documented occasion in which Elordi has selected the house for a major public appearance, reinforcing the established connection between the actor and the brand.
The pairing is also consistent with the relatively streamlined approach seen in this particular premiere outfit. Rather than relying on extensive accessories or elaborate styling, the pinstripe tailoring, black shoes and sunglasses provide the main visual elements of the look.
Margaret Qualley and the London Premiere
Elordi shared the white carpet with several members of the The Dog Stars cast, including Margaret Qualley and Josh Brolin. Director Ridley Scott was also associated with the London world premiere of the post-apocalyptic film.
Qualley brought a more experimental fashion moment to the event in a black fringed Chanel dress and Chanel footwear that left much of the foot exposed. The unusual shoes had previously appeared on the Chanel runway and became one of the most discussed fashion details from the premiere.
The Dog Stars is directed by Scott and stars Elordi as Hig, a pilot attempting to survive in a post-apocalyptic world after a virus devastates humanity. The film is based on Peter Heller's 2012 novel and is scheduled for a U.S. theatrical release on August 28, 2026.
For Elordi, however, the London premiere offered another opportunity to work with a fashion house that has become an established part of his public wardrobe. This time, the confirmed Bottega Veneta credit comes down to a sharply tailored navy pinstripe suit, with no additional individual designer attribution publicly established at the time of publication.
