As the famous saying goes: couples who self-promote together stay together. Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are definitely taking the adage to heart, as evidenced by their New York City breakfast outing this morning.
Both halves of the power couple have lots to be proud of: Hadid has her luxury knitwear brand, Guest In Residence, and Cooper is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in Maestro. So why not shout it from the rooftops? Or, in their cases, wear it on their backs?
Cooper and Hadid both promoted their respective ventures through their clothing choices. Hadid, ever the fashionphile, wore a long brown knit cardigan complete with a shawl collar and a quilt of colorful granny squares on the back. Underneath, she added a simple, cropped white tee and an eggshell cardigan. Continuing her lowkey look, she donned a pair of distressed blue jeans, and added a suede, rust-colored pair of Wales Bonner Adidas Sambas.
Hadid accessorized with a slew of necklaces, off-white sunglasses, and a bright yellow clutch. And while we can’t be certain that her knitwear came from her own store, she also carried an oversized shopping bag from Guest In Residence—something of a nod and a wink.
Cooper also turned to his outfit to aid in his Oscar campaign. Countless interviews and awards show after awards show is surely exhausting, so why not remind the procrastinators amongst the Academy voters of Maestro with some choice clothing?
The actor joined Hadid for breakfast wearing an American Federation of Musicians hoodie, specifically repping the New York Philharmonic. What would the NY Phil have to do with Cooper’s Oscar nomination, you may wonder? (Thank you for asking.) Leonard Bernstein, whom he portrayed in Maestro, was the music director of the New York Phil from 1958 until 1969. It’s a very “if you know you know” move. Though we wouldn’t blame him for rocking a sweatshirt that says, “Please Give Me an Oscar.”
