When it comes to unlikely fashion inspo, Pete Davidson just might take the cake. From his earliest standup sets to walking the Met Gala stairs with Kim Kardashian in 2022<\/a>, Davidson\u2019s style evolution is truly an impressive feat. The 28-year-old has gone from skater boy to fashion darling, wholly unafraid to get bold with his looks. <\/p>\n Comedians generally aren\u2019t the movers and shakers of the fashion world. People rarely turn to Jerry Seinfeld or John Mulaney to set style trends. Davidson was no different when he first joined Saturday Night Live<\/em> in 2014. But, as his star rose so did his fashion game. Establishing himself as something of a sneakerhead, Davidson spent a few years keeping his looks streamlined and his footwear iconic. Over time, a career shift from funny guy to actor brought out a whole new side of Davidson\u2019s style. <\/p>\n After starring in Big Time Adolescence<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Bodies Bodies Bodies<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>and Meet Cute<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>the actor\u2019s aesthetic has become elevated without losing its streetwear edge. Davidson\u2019s fashion eras also seem to be, at least in part, influenced by his romantic life. When dating Ariana Grande back in 2018<\/a>, he swathed himself in designer logos. Later, while dating Kim Kardashian<\/a>, his penchant for sharply tailored suits reigned supreme. There\u2019s no telling where the actor, now single, might head next fashion-wise, so take a trip down memory lane by checking out everyone\u2019s favorite Staten Island guy\u2019s style evolution.<\/p>\n At just 18 years old, Pete Davidson was serving some serious baby face during his comedy set at The Stress Factory Comedy Club in Jan. 2012. For this standup act, he went with the classic \u201cgraphic T-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt\u201d combo. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n In 2014, Davidson joined the SNL<\/em> cast and stepped up his style game with a focus on footwear. For Variety\u2019s \u201c10 Comics To Watch\u201d showcase, he paired a camo print button-down with black jeans and a fitted hat. But the real standout accessories were his red hot sneakers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n During Comedy Central\u2019s Roast of Justin Bieber<\/em>, Davidson stepped out in a masterfully tailored suit. The navy pants and jacket featured a subtle diamond pattern and satin lapels. Letting the suit speak for itself, Davidson kept the rest of his \u2018fit relatively simple, but <\/strong>finished off the look with a pair of electric blue Nikes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n While you may not think <\/strong>the next navy suit Davidson wore to Comedy Central\u2019s Roast of Rob Lowe was <\/em>very exciting, his sneakers were a huge deal. For the event in August 2016, Davidson broke out a pair of Nike Mags<\/a> \u2014 the shoe famously worn by Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, in Back to the Future II. <\/em>The shoes retailed for $950 in 2016, but StockX most recently sold a pair for over $25,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n A lot of heads turned Davidson\u2019s way at the 2017 Video Music Awards<\/a>. At the event, the Bodies, Bodies, Bodies<\/em> star got political. At face value, this look is just a white tee and jeans, but its message shows Davidson\u2019s willingness to get bold with his fashion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n In 2018, there were three major changes in Davidson\u2019s life: He started dating Ariana Grande, upped his streetwear game, and went Marshall Mathers blond for the first time. Davidson also began wearing shirts, fanny packs, and funky sunglasses bearing designer labels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Although Davidson didn\u2019t come up with this \u2018fit himself, his appearance on the Alexander Wang runway in May 2019 hinted at his burgeoning reputation as a fashion darling. After all, can you really call yourself a stylish celebrity if you haven\u2019t walked in a fashion show?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n At the premiere of Big Time Adolescence <\/em>in March 2020, <\/em>Davidson opted for a causal \u2018fit featuring stylish shoes, but with an upgrade from his sneakerhead days. The actor wore a simple crewneck, jeans, and a pair of super-shiny Oxfords. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Now he\u2019s really getting bold! For his first appearance at the 2021 Met Gala, Davidson forwent a traditional suit for a dress and blazer designed by Thom Browne<\/a>. This look encapsulates Davidson\u2019s burgeoning ability to wear avant-garde pieces. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n On the set of his upcoming film Bupkis<\/em>, the Staten Island native not only gave a shoutout to his hometown on his T-shirt, but also went back to his natural brunette hair color. He paired the look with a navy blue and maroon tracksuit and go-to silver JJJJound Asics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n If Davidson\u2019s relationship with Grande can be characterized by logos, and his relationship with Kardashian can be characterized by sleek suits, then maybe we\u2019re entering the age of Davidson tracksuits. Sitting front row at the New York Knicks game on Nov. 27, he and Emily Ratajkowski made their public debut<\/a>, wearing pretty much what any normies would wear to a basketball game. The SNL<\/em> alum wore a navy tracksuit, the same silver Asics from the Bupkis<\/em> set, and a pair of sunglasses, while EmRata wore a brown puffer jacket and a pair of snakeskin boots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n If there\u2019s one person who\u2019s going to wear a designer bucket hat to the Met Gala, it\u2019s Pete Davidson. The comedian hit up fashion\u2019s biggest night sans his date from last year<\/a>, but with a whole new vibe. Rather than rock the dapper but serious bodyguard look like he did in 2022, he wore a long black trench coat, colorful tee, dark purple leather pants, and topped it all off with a bucket hat. Fendi, you did Pete proud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\nJanuary 2012: Pete Davidson In Double T-Shirts<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
