Robbing Our Hearts: Robert Pattinson Shows His Crazy Side in Iconic GQ Shoot
We’re all looking for inspiration and entertainment from our feature film celebrities and GQ magazine gave us just that with their new March cover story. From vampires to Batman, see how Robert Pattinson has become not only an admired actor but social media’s new fashion icon.
British actor, Robert Pattinson is known for starring in many dark movies such as The Twilight Saga, The Lighthouse, The Devil All the Time, and many more. He is also our new Batman in The Batman, a Warners Bros film that is set to hit IMAX theatres around the world on March 2nd.

As part of the anticipation to see the “Rob version” of Bruce Wayne, GQ Magazine deemed the actor as their cover model for their March issue. “The Metamorphosis of Robert Pattinson” was published on February 8th with an exclusive interview by GQ’s Daniel Riley on the actor, accompanied by some stellar photos.
Fashion lovers, Pattinson’s fan’s and creatives all over the world have been reeling over this photoshoot. Whether, it’s the neo-noir feel, the marvelous menswear, or the bleached hair, everyone is losing it over Rob and this photoshoot.

The Fits
If you’re a Rob-stan, you might’ve lost it seeing this shoot, especially if you love fashion. In this shoot GQ stylist, Mobolaji Dawodu took these looks to the next level. From neons suiting and colorful knits to lengthy trousers and the classic white tank top (we call that the “wife pleaser”).
Some of our favorites include the fuchsia Bottega Venetta set, the neon orange and green suits from Dior Men's, and the head to toe Ann Demeulemeester ensemble. These looks are truly astonishing and juxtapose the darkness of the character he will play in The Batman.
Another look we’re loving that plays to the Batman theme is the all-black suit from Louis Vuitton Men’s, paired with bright red gloves. This has us wondering will blood be on Pattinson’s hands in this film?

The Set

While the fashion of this shoot is wonderful, what blew people away is the concepts of the shoot and the set design that made those concepts come to life. In the shoot, you can see Pattinson’s crazy side. From bleaching his hair to getting a tattoo, Pattinson was walking on the wild side with this shoot.

This notable March cover story has also scored some attention among fans and creatives. This image displays Pattinson with a busted mouth and gold teeth. Paired with a purple sweater from Diesel, this look has elements of The Joker and possibly pays homage to the Suicide Squad version played by Jared Leto in 2016. While the look is bloody and quite unsightly, to say the least, it is exactly what we want to see from the actor in The Batman film.
This shoot gave us everything we could have ever asked for from Robert Pattinson. We can’t wait to see how he will portray madness as 2022’s ruthless vigilante in The Batman.
