HotMicks, in addition to having an eye, I also think it's a body confidence thing. In all of the photoshoots we've seen, no matter how Alex has been styled (and some styling has been more successful than others) he
always looks comfortable in his own skin. The videos of shoots also show (I think) that he's comfortable following the photographers' instructions - trusting their instincts about what will work on camera - and going with it.
And
PNWgal, I am nodding along vigorously re Alex's tailor. Happy memories of the suit he wore to the BUP premiere in London will live with me for, um, a loooong time.

Of course, if one can't be confident and comfortable in HIS skin, one simply cannot be confident and comfortable...
And still very envious of Red and Alle, who saw the 3D versions of those pics.

So true.

But you still see loads of gorgeous/famous/celebrity/model types who never really look at home in front of a stills camera. It's probably a combination of the God-like looks, the actorly training that gets rid of physical inhibitions, a sense of style and a love of fashion, and his delightful down-to-earth-ness (yes, I know that's not a word. But it should be.)
And I've realised that like most things Alex-related, I have given this way too much thought.

Thinking about it makes me smile. Every. Single. Time.

My analysis choice for today is Alex pics or P&L forecasts for the next financial year. Sadly the P&L needs to take priority for a while...

Ouch.
But dear dear Dark is right. Mick WILL be waiting.
And Alex is probably asleep now anyway.
So make hay before the sun-god rises and shines...

But I couldn't leave all this talk of suits without a pic, now could I?

Is that Photoshopped? It has a surreal quality to it.

I doubt it's 'Shopped, but it's probably retouched a tad. After all, it was a published photo.
And a

and a

for Red for posting that on a horrible Monday morning. And I hope coco sees it, cuz I KNOW how much she digs Alex in brown.

The bottom left one? With the arms outstretched?
Yes, the answer is yes! I will join your cult!
