The “Heated Rivalry” star arrived at Tuesday’s WWD Honors in oversized navy tailoring and explained how the designer has influenced his personal style.

François Arnaud usually tries to mix a little high-brow with his low-brow. At Tuesday night’s WWD Honors in New York, however, there wasn’t much of the latter.

“I mean this is very high-brow,” the “Heated Rivalry” actor said with a laugh, gesturing toward his Saint Laurent suit. “There’s nothing low-brow about Anthony’s work.”

That would be Anthony Vaccarello, who departed Saint Laurent earlier this month after a decade as creative director. Arnaud, a brand ambassador for the house, offered something of a tribute to the designer while walking the carpet at Cipriani South Street.

“As you know, this last collection was his swan song at Saint Laurent and I think he is just a master,” Arnaud told WWD. “His ten years there were a perfectly masterful blend of elegance but also a rock and roll quality, and that’s kind of what I like about his designs. We just threw this on and it felt like a great fit.”

The Saint Laurent suit was oversized from top to bottom. His navy jacket featured broad shoulders and wide lapels, while the matching trousers were cut so wide that they nearly covered his black leather dress shoes. Underneath, Arnaud kept things more traditional with a pale blue striped shirt and patterned navy tie.

“I don’t know what inspired it, actually,” he said, laughing as he adjusted his tie. “You’ll have to ask Anthony.
