In the 2001 film Zoolander, Will Ferrell’s character plays a fashion designer who creates a clothing collection inspired by the homeless. In all comedy, the film recreates how far the trends imposed by those who impose what is fashionable and what is not can go. Thus, Ben Stiller’s character is forced to parade around in dirty and disheveled clothes as if it were the latest trend in fashion.
But far from that satirical reality, celebrities have already begun to incorporate the homeless look as their trademark. In his case, a chic destitution.
Calu Rivero and Fernando “Aíto” de la Rúa showed off being at the forefront and were seen dressed as if they had no other more worthy option in their wardrobe.
Red-handed The couple, walking through Aíto’s father’s native province, Córdoba, took a few days to relax and while they walked through La Cumbre they showed off their look. She in a visibly wrinkled pink dress, sandals and an oversized scarf around her neck. He, with a shirt several sizes larger than his, stained, and bamboo pants with the bottoms reaching to his knees. If they wanted to go unnoticed in the Córdoba afternoon and avoid her fame, her clothes attracted attention. A user even commented to Rivero on her Instagram that at first glance she thought that the actress had photographed two homeless people and had published the photo of her.
“You can tell that this look is put together for the photo,” said another follower among several other comments that celebrated both of their outfits and highlighted that through their outfits they conveyed “dispossession and love (sic).”
The contradiction of her outfits with her daily life is evident. A couple of weeks ago, Rivero herself published a photo of herself wearing an expensive velvet microbikini combined with a crocheted shirt in a natural tone with orange details and wavy ends.
This look also clashes with the baby carrier that they both use to carry Tao’s son. To transport the first-born of the family, the couple chose to buy the Zeitgeist Yin Yang baby carrier, from the Artipoppe brand. The accessory, which as its name indicates comes with a print with the Yin Yang of Chinese culture, has a price of $1,100, three times more than any other from another brand and without the printed symbol.
Rivero and de la Rúa are not the only ones to dabble in the homeless chic look. Rodrigo de Paul, figure of the soccer team, usually surprises with his clothing every time he comes to the country to join the Scaloneta training sessions. The current Atlético Madrid player has become a fashion icon and his outfits usually include clothes that seem abandoned, but which are nevertheless from foreign brands that join the “cool” trend of marketing clothes that seem out of use. . The other teammates on the soccer team attack de Paul every time the soccer player decides to dabble in these looks of torn and stained pants and poorly mended t-shirts.
His ex-partner, Tini Stoessel, seems to have also followed in his footsteps and many of the clothes he chooses are criticized. Precisely, when she was still Paul’s girlfriend, she was criticized for coming to sign autographs with the world champion wearing a worn black T-shirt, loose jeans and no shoes. In her case, furthermore, the criticism on social networks was more ruthless because she was a woman.
The look that simulates being homeless, something that a couple of decades ago was just an element for the script of an exaggerated comedy, is today something that has become a trend among famous Argentinians.
