Hollywood heartthrob Chris Pine surprised fans with his unrecognizable appearance at the red carpet premiere of his new movie 'Poolman' at the Vista Theatre in Los Angeles. Pine, 43, arrived in character as the film's protagonist Darren Barrenman, sporting long hair and a beard. He drove a pool-cleaning company van and wore a unique ensemble, including a tan blazer, pink carnation corsage, 'I Love LA' T-shirt, blue corduroy shorts, ankle-high white socks, and brown hiking boots. Completing his look, Pine wore orange sunglasses and showcased a shaggy blonde hairdo. 'Poolman' is set to be released on May 10th and follows Darren's mission to improve Los Angeles, which clashes with city councilman Steven Tornkowsky. Pine rose to fame in 2003 with a role in the medical drama ER and has since appeared in various films, including 'Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement' and 'Star Trek'. He has been romantically linked to celebrities like Zoe Kravitz and Olivia Munn, and recently ended his relationship with Annabelle Wallis.
In addition to his character's wardrobe, Pine's fashion choices at the premiere have sparked a trend. He was seen wearing red corduroy short shorts, a Big Boy Burgers tank top, and a salt-and-pepper beard during a visit to a deli in Los Angeles. Pine's style is retro and disheveled, resembling his character in the film. Other celebrities have also embraced the short shorts trend, contributing to the evidence of a Short Shorts Revival. Despite the recent trend of dressier and flowy shorts for men, the popularity of short shorts is growing. Pine has expressed his preference for corduroy shorts and plans to continue wearing them. Hollywood's It Girls, including Kendall Jenner, Jodie Turner-Smith, and more, have flawlessly pulled off the no-pants trend. Turner-Smith rocked a pair of silky Viktor & Rolf black panties with a sculpted top at the Vogue World red carpet in September 2023. Bella Hadid wore a white pair of briefs with an oversized leather jacket and graphic T-shirt while wandering the streets of New York City in September 2022. Sydney Sweeney looked chic in beaded underwear paired with a silver oversized blazer, a white blouse, and satin heels in May 2024. Other stars who pulled off the trend include Kristen Stewart, Laverne Cox, Coi Leray, Emma Chamberlain, and Olivia Culpo. The article features images of these celebrities in their no-pants looks.

Short shorts dominated the runway at Gucci's Spring 2025 menswear show in Italy, with 41 out of 46 ensembles featuring pants that graze just below the groin. Actor Paul Mescal, known for his role in 'Gladiator 2', is a big advocate for men wearing shorter shorts and has been seen sporting thigh-baring shorts on multiple occasions. Other Hollywood heartthrobs like Chris Pine and Milo Ventimiglia have also adopted the controversial cut-offs into their own wardrobe. Shorter in-seams were popular among men in the '70s and '80s, and there has been a resurgence in the style in recent years. The trend has also been embraced by fashion-forward women like Sydney Sweeney and Kristen Stewart. Gucci's spring/summer 2025 collection for menswear is anticipated to spur a men's micro shorts revival. [d2e117de]
