Drew Starkey Is on an A-List Outfit Heater

After wrapping up his star-making five seasons playing Rafe Cameron on Outer Banks earlier this year, Drew Starkey has wasted no time leveling up. With a slate of upcoming projects including not one but two promising A24 joints and a (rumored) role in Luca Guadagnino’s American Psycho remake, Starkey is, in the parlance of the ’biz, going places. He’s also well on his way to becoming one of the best-dressed guys in Hollywood.

Wearing a head-to-toe designer look may seem simple enough, but in reality it’s one of the bigger swings one can take in the menswear world. Getting it right requires not just picking the right pieces but wearing them in a way that looks effortless and natural, as if you assembled the look from your own closet. Fortunately for anyone interested in taking on this sartorial challenge, Starkey’s recent outfits provide a perfect illustration of how to nail it.

Starkey’s hot streak kicked off on The Tonight Show in late July, with a head-to-toe Dior look seemingly designed to prove that yes, you should definitely wear that pink shirt, ideally tucked into a pair of stonewashed jeans. To be fair, as an ambassador for Dior, Starkey has one of the hottest collections on the planet to pull from, but as previously mentioned, going all in on a single designer is still risky, even if that designer happens to be Jonathan Anderson.

“Me and Drew have worked together for a long time now and have a great vibe when collaborating,” says Starkey’s stylist, Warren Alfie Baker, whose client roster also includes Andrew Garfield and Love Story’s Paul Anthony Kelly. “He loves a vintage vibe, so we like to lean into that and let it feel relatable—the Dior just felt like a cool ’90s throwback look.”

The Fallon look was no fluke, though. Starkey subsequently rolled up to Saturday’s Netflix “Pogues For Life” watch party wearing an equally dialed-in Dior ensemble, this time featuring a boxy cream sport coat, dark denim, and a pair of funky Dior Médaillon Loafers.
