You may know Bower for his music, or for portraying the villainous Vecna on Stranger Things, but we are fast associating him with an impeccable sense of style. Throughout his press tour this month, he and his stylist Nathan Henry have been infusing traditional tailoring looks with cool, off-kilter accessories—like brooches and headpieces!—that make the outfits feel a whole lot more fresh and modern.
Last night in London, for one, Bower emerged wearing a black cape coat from Matières Fécales—the avant-garde Parisian label that is fast becoming a celebrity favorite. Punctuating his sleek outerwear? There was a bejeweled crown headpiece, oversized eyeball and flower brooches, and even a spider-like jewelry piece that fit like a glove. Talk about fun!

Some of his other recent Lord of the Rings looks have been more subdued—but equally as slick and contemporary. For the New York premiere, there was a perfectly-slouchy black pinstriped suit with layered silver necklaces; For the Mexico City screening, he chose a black suit with a burgundy velvet lapel, and a crisp white shirt with a high collar and oversized lapels. These slight exaggerations of silhouette imbued his looks with a little personality: They’re not so formal or standard; rather, they have a little zest to them.
