THE AFFAIRS OF TALLER MEN...

Perhaps as a sartorial paean to the golden years of Wallstreet (maybe more irony), Chuck Bass, Ed Westwick's character on Gossip Girl, dons some very familiar getup: blue dress shirt with cuff links, blood-red suspenders, and grey pinstripe trousers. Yes, Ed does a dandy homage to American Psycho's Patrick Bateman. 


It's a look I tried to pull off last Halloween (with a fake knife, even) and only the well-watched director Quark Henares got it. Hard for a short man to pull off Pat Bateman without looking like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. Obviously, Ed carries it way better.
