With his big coats and classic blazers, Jake Gyllenhaal has had some pretty spicy menswear moments over the past few weeks. But it's his elder sister Maggie Gyllenhaal who, over the week, proved herself to be the biggest hypechaser in the Hollywood clan.
Gyllenhaal's usually known more for her flowy dresses and statement-y power suits. Very bulletproof and watertight leading lady kit. But in New York City yesterday, The Lost Daughter director checked into End online and went down a deeply streetwear-coded route instead.
Spotted on the set of The Bride (which, again, she's directing and writing), Gyllenhaal wore the bandana hoodie by Kapital up top. Released as part of the Japanese label's Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, it's covered in a mismatched paisley pattern and is considered to be something of a holy grail by fans of, well… good, solid hoodies. Plus, that whole bandana print is a Kapital signature known (and loved) by menswearheads proper. And judging by the fact that this very hoodie sold out everywhere, it's only gonna get more hyped.
Down south, she jumped into a pair of light wash blue denim jeans, and the Salomon XT-4 OG, specifically in the black colourway. Fitted with a full-length ‘agile chassis skeleton’ for added structure and support, this sneaker also comes equipped with the Quicklace system and a dual-density foam midsole. It's the kinda shoe that you wear if you're into gorpcore but you also don't want to be in everyone's face about it. A gateway gorp trainer, if you will – and one that's become synonymous with natty wine lads and art directors in any city with absurdly overpriced rentals.
And best of all: Maggie Gyllenhall wears it extremely well. “There's no precedent for what a woman director wears…” she said in a Neiman Marcus Women’s History Month panel back in 2022. “There's a little precedent, but we get to make it up. So do we dress like men? How much does femininity play into it? How much does sexuality play into it?”
Which makes sense. Because, of the Gyllenhaal kids, it's the big sister that's now the bigger menswearhead.
