David Arquette at Music Box in Hollywood

Posted on Jun 2, 2011 in Fashion

Ooh, we’re about to be so mean, girls.

Looking at the crags and canyons on that face (And seriously, David, you’re not even 40 yet; you shouldn’t look that beat. It’s long past time to break out the sunscreen and moisturizer, wouldn’t you say?), we feel secure in saying, DAVID. YOU ARE TOO OLD TO BE DRESSING LIKE A 20-SOMETHING HIPSTER. There, we said it. We’re not saying he’s not allowed to wear a skinny tie, or skinny jeans, or a bright red sneakers. We’re just saying he can’t put them all together and expect to look anything better than what he is: a man approaching middle age (who looks it) trying to dress like Justin Bieber. It’s sad. He’s slim and not bad looking. There’s no reason why he should be stuffing himself into these getups in an effort to look good. We’d be okay with the look if he’d just switch out the footwear for something a little more sophisticated and wore a jacket that fit him a little better.

OMG! When are low rise skinny jeans going away? They look good on virtually no one. David is a good looking guy, he looks like a douchebag here.

My biggest complaint here is (my usual refrain) there should be a law prohibiting paparazzi from shooting with wide angle lenses.

He really should have taken better care of his skin. And the grey in his beard just makes him look even older. I hardly recognized him.

He’s also trying to mix hipster with disarmingly cute (red sneakers and tie). With a receding hairline and grey goatee?
Boy needs someone to give him a 12-step fashion intervention.

not aging well…in denial about aging too. Everything looks too tight…and too contrived.

I do like the red shoes though…but probably better paired with jeans and a tee or polo.

He’s not being helped AT ALL by his hair, either. All that height is only exacerbating the appearance of a long, slim face. NOT terrific.

Those “jeans” are just embarrassing. I’m frankly sorry I looked (though it helps the diet).

He looks as bad as Charlie Sheen, and that’s NOT good!

Is it still “mutton dressed as lamb” when a man does it? David Arquette has never really done anything for me, but these pictures are just sad. He could (and should) look so much better!
Teresa Markowitz

And he has the nerve to wear suspenders?!?! He looks horrible!

Yes you’re right about everything as usual, T Lo. Different shoes would really have turned this around. Am I wrong, or is he wearing what looks like denim suit? Are the pants jeans but in a very close color to the jacket? I think a little more contrast there would help the look, too.

What is the word for douche and dufous?

The combination of the skinny tie and his unfortunate hair make his head look three sizes too large.

the skinny suspenders with tight jeans are quite a joke. He’s channeling Michael J. Fox’s Back to the Future look I suppose. How long ago was that? and his head looks like a light bulb.

  cannot unsee lightbulb head! haha, thanks for the laugh

The first thing I thought before I even read the comments was: “He’s too old to dress like a 20-something hipster.”

It was like TLo stole the words from my mouth.

He is kind of sexy though.

I just wish he didn’t have those pants on. Everything else I’m fine with, but those? NE-HE-HEVER!!!!

I guess I missed the meanness. . . everything you said was dead-on. Amen. You could have been a lot worse

he’s younger than me?

i dont know any of them so i’m not gonna assume a drug-overload here, as i would if he were, say, involved in any sort of metal.

otoh, i do know clothes, particularly counter-clothes &, from that vantage, i think the problems occurring herein involve a bit of misappropriation combined w/ a misunderstanding of whats been misappropriated. if i make sense.

meaning: the power tie, in particular, does not go well w/ the pricey keds. really: ditch the tie in favor of, oh, you know, a hand-painted naked lady or a glitter-bedecked alien {i’m not saying this isnt passé, just that it’s fitting} & hip-up the keds by, oh, you know, redux: either less money going into them or a higher ankle profile or some avant-business–then you might have something. it’ll banish the bieber w/o entirely banishing the il ne sait pas. if i make sense &, w/ a bit of re-reading, i probably do.

edited to add:
oh–& the jacket? i hate that.
{also to extricate extraneous commas.}

Technically, he doesn’t look bad considering it’s him. He usually looks like the love child of Liberace and Jeff Spicoli.

But yes, by normal-person standards, he’s dressing way too young for his age, and too much all at once.

Who’s looking at his face? What the hell is going on in his pants?

He still looks better than he used to- his old look was just scruffy and nasty.

otoh, he looks pretty good in those jeans. dayamn, david. did not KNOW.

I like the parts, just not altogether. I think he could still wear the skinny jean with the red sneakers, but put on a grown up top. a simple sweater would have been fine. Skinny ties have their place in life, this outfit isn’t one of them.The jacket is too small and tight, give that away, and with jeans that tight we know you don;t need suspenders to hold them up, save it for another outfit.

Lastly for the love of all that is holy and hip in the world, moisturize and stay out of the sun! He looks ready to explode.

Yet another comment telling men not to dress differently. Ridiculous.
Rand Ortega

Such a wounded soul. I can’t fault someone who has never quite fit his skin w/ a little frivolous, if tacky, dress up. I just hope he regains what little peace he found w/ Courtney.

How did he even get into that jacket? It looks pretty uncomfortable. I hate those stupid skinny ties and I don’t like the suspenders. I guess the shoes are kind of cute.
http://profiles.google.com/angelarosesarno angela rose sarno

perhaps he doesn’t look bad for his age, but rather we all have a terrifically skewed idea of what people should actually look like in this age of botox and plastic surgery… or perhaps he is allowing himself to age because it will piss courteney off. Lord knows she could use a wrinkle or two.

seriously though TLo- rag all you want on the clothes, hair and makeup- but un-surgically altered skin and aging in general should be off limits. tsk.

UGH.

Not worthy of a man on the street post. He’s barely a celebrity at this point. Oh, and yes, he’s too old for his clothes, looks like a Greenday wannabe.

If your facial hair is mostly grey and your hairline is retreating from your eyebrows, you are not allowed to wear this outfit.

Guys, telling the truth isn’t being mean.

Did he steal that jacket from his ex’s closet? Looks very snug, look at the sleeves! Dude looks like a Bieber!
Anonymous

Wow. He looks ridiculous.
Anonymous

Yeah, he looks douchey. I agree with everything you said.
Plus, something about the way that jacket fits on his shoulders is making him look like he has an alarmingly large noggin.

I agree completely about the clothes and shoes, TLo, but I think you need to watch the bitchiness about the man’s aging face. Unfortunately, there are many of us “regular people” who have crags and canyons in our 40s (or approaching 40). It’s quite the double bind to have the expectation that one’s face should not age naturally and, at the same time, be taken to task for the injectibles, peels, and surgeries that would be required to maintain a “youthful” face. You guys are usually quite positive about natural aging in middle-aged women, but why so harsh on the man?

  We really wish people wouldn’t take our highly specific, celebrity-directed criticisms and try to apply them to “regular people.” This isn’t a style and beauty tips blog and it’s much more fun (we think) when people remember that. In addition, the whole reason we pointed out the lines on his face is that this ISN’T natural aging. He’s still in his 30s. That’s sun damage and possibly lifestyle-based damage and you will note that we did not recommend cosmetic procedures of any sort; we recommended sunscreen and moisturizer.

    Oh, I know you were not ‘recommending’ cosmetic procedures, though I can see that was how I came across. To be fair, though, he’ll be 40 this year and sunscreen or no, hard livin’ or no, it is his natural face. I know he’s not ‘regular people’ – fair enough – but you two are usually great at avoiding the digs at a celebrity’s natural body attributes, which I completely appreciate. Ripping on celebrities’ style (as well as your sometimes constructive criticisms) is what I love about your blog, which is why these particular comments felt out-of-bounds to me.
    
    I still love this place, though.

      Recommending moisturizer and sunscreen for a dry, cracked face is no different than recommending product for frizzy or fried hair.

TOTAL.DOUCHE. ugh.

Yeah, if he was wearing black shoes and ditched the bracelets, he’d look ok. His face reminds me of Andy Cohen’s. Both look older than their age because of all the deep wrinkles. Then again, I agree with most posters that we are all just used to looking at botoxed and airbrushed people and not someone’s natural state. So, guess we shouldn’t hate on them for letting the aging process take its natural course.

  Oh HELL no, you did not diss my Andy-Pandy-Bear!
  
  Much as I love David Arquette, he is a train wreck right now, whereas my sweet, sweet Andrew is suave, put together, just goofy enough to make my heart melt and doable as all get out (Google “shirtless Andy Cohen”).
  
  I demand a retraction, jblaked, or I shall attack your frosted tips!
  
  And yes, my husband knows all about my Andy Cohen obsession; he’s too busy with his James Franco one man fan club to care.

    Sorry, SHJ, Andy makes me hurl. Shirtless or otherwise. He’s all yours.

YES. Boys get too old for certain looks just as do girls. Lose the shoes & shave off the scruff. Think seriously about different pants, though you’re still on the right side of that line.

(Though he looked soooo much better in his recent man on the street appearance here – plaid jacket & loose slacks.)
Tania Skevos

The jeans are fine and I really like the red sneaks. It’s the tie and the tight shiny jacket that make him look douchey.

I say this, of course, as an “aging” (41 year old) person in skinny jeans and sneakers

I think the tie with the shoes is just pushing it over the top.

He has always been the worst. The worst of the worst. And now he’s even worser.

I can’t codone him for this. This is probably the best suit considering what he’s worn in the past.

That is a drug face! I’ve seen a fair few in my time and they are unmistakeable. The costume is tragic, by the way.
