Jonathan Bailey is dancing through life with a pair of “slutty little shoes.”
The Jurassic World Rebirth star had a cheeky reaction to his Maison Margiela Tabi split-toe loafers being described as such while attending the premiere of the dinosaur flick at Hearst Plaza at Lincoln Center in New York June 23.
In fact, Jonathan is open to his entire wardrobe taking on the description, as he exclusively told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes on the red carpet, “But it’s a slutty little everything, isn’t it, these days?”
And while the Wicked star was happy to embrace his red carpet fashion, it’s not his first look that prompted conversation. The week before, he made waves when he wore flip-flops to a Jurassic World Rebirth photo call in London, which some fans took issue with. However, others defended his unique style, with one writing on social media, “LEAVE MY MAN ALONE. HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS.”
Regardless of his fashion choices, though, the 37-year-old was thrilled to be celebrating his and his costars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali’s hard work in the newest iteration of the Jurassic Park franchise.
“When you're in the jungle in Thailand, and [director] Gareth Edwards is operating the camera, and every member of the crew has that love and reverence for the original film,” Jonathan continued to E! News, “it's an amazing place to be.”
He added, “I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this, to get people back into the theaters this summer for the summer blockbuster, and celebrate so much brilliance and nostalgia. It's a love letter.”
Jurassic World Rebirth debuts in theaters July 2. In the meantime, read on to see all the stars who showed up and showed out on the red carpet of the New York City premiere.
