These boots are made for… the men of Hollywood.
Following recent sightings of Pedro Pascal and Alexander Skarsgård in the Saint Laurent Joe Over-the-Knee leather boots, it seems only natural that Brad Pitt take them for a spin.
The actor, 61, covers GQ’s summer issue, alongside F1 costars Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris. The three men, who each grace their own cover, spoke with GQ‘s global director of content development Daniel Riley about how they set out to create “the most authentic, realistic, and grounded racing movie ever made,” per the outlet.
In a series of beachside photos, Pitt poses in a black T-shirt by Rick Owens, pants by Isabel Marant and belt by Artemas Quibble. The real stars of the ensemble, however, are the black leather thigh-high boots by Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.

Prior to Pitt’s GQ cover, two other Hollywood studs were recently spotted in the leather boots. On March 24, Pascal, 50, wore the shoes to the Los Angeles premiere of The Last of Us season 2. The actor teamed them with leather pants, a royal blue turtleneck and a blue-and-green plaid jacket.

Skarsgård, 48, turned heads in the boots at the premiere of The Phoenician Scheme at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival. He opted for a classic black suit, black tie and white shirt.

In the GQ interview, Pitt opened up about his relationship with girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
Asked whether the move to make their first public-event appearance in at a Formula 1 race was deliberate, Pitt laughed and told the outlet of the July 2024 event, “No, dude, it’s not that calculated.”
“If you’re living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you’re living with making those kinds of calculations?” he added. “No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.”

Pitt’s divorce with ex-wife Angelina Jolie was finalized in late 2024 after years of legal back-and-forth. When asked if he felt relief from that chapter being finally closed, he said, “No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally.”
Pitt and de Ramon have been dating since late 2022, following his split from Jolie, 49, in 2016. The exes, who share six children, were declared legally single in 2019.
