Olympics 2018: A ranking of all of Johnny Weir’s looks, from worst to best

6. The royal jacket

Notably, the jacket is closed completely here. Who would want to wear this open? All of the visual effect is achieved by having it present a unified look. It reminds me of nothing less than royal dress, just rendered in black and gold. (For example, here’s the coronation costume from The Young Victoria, which won an Oscar for its costumes.)

Again, he’s displaying a tendency to pick up a minor refrain of the jacket in his shoes, and it ventures close to being too much here — it’s why this look doesn’t rank higher. But all the same, this look is all about that jacket, and wow, is that a jacket.

Oh, and we guess he’s wearing one glove, too.

5. The giant strand of pearls

Does anything about this look matter aside from the giant strand of pearls he has draped over his shoulder like a beautiful bandolier? No, no, it does not. The sheer impracticality of wearing that anywhere does not matter, clearly, and that is why this look has made it to the top 5 here. (He did not have them on for broadcast, alas.)

This is some of the wackiest hair he’s sported, and, to make another pop culture comparison, it’s a bit of a grown-up and slightly edgier Jimmy Neutron in its curl execution there.

The boots help, though. Those are the kind of boots that mean business and proceed to carry that business out.

Between the three and the accessories he has on both wrists, this is a look that needs nothing more, really. As it is, it’s quite the look for a black-and-white ensemble.
