Tom Holland<\/a> summer is officially upon us. The English actor is about to dominate multiplexes with Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey<\/a> and Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>, which means a marathon of big-time premieres and photocalls. Over the past month, Holland has zigzagged across the globe promoting both films\u2014and he\u2019s been dressing like he knows every stop is another chance to deliver an advanced-level fit.<\/p>\n

A press tour of this magnitude demands a wardrobe to match, and Holland has more than delivered. Working with stylist Crystalle Cox<\/a>, he\u2019s assembled one of the year\u2019s strongest celebrity fashion runs, cycling through an all-star roster of designers without ever looking like he\u2019s trying too hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first chatted about this run, Tom was up for doing something different from what we\u2019ve seen him do before,\u201d Cox says. The two have been working together for a few years now, having met through Zendaya<\/a> and her power stylist, Law Roach<\/a>. This back-to-back summer blockbuster press tour marks their biggest excursion to date, with Cox beginning her prep back in February. Given that the two press tours were overlapping, Cox wanted to ensure that each movie had its own distinct vibe. For The Odyssey, they leaned into earthy tones and more mature styles; Spider-Man could skew more playful, featuring color-coded winks to the web-slinging superhero.<\/p>\n

Last month, Holland kicked off a Brand New Day Euro trip in Barcelona with a clean, simple Jacquemus<\/a> look\u2014a black work jacket and trousers over a Spidey red dress shirt. He followed that up a week later in Berlin with a less obvious bit of fan service: a cream leather jacket<\/a>, blouson-style shirt<\/a>, and blue jeans all courtesy of Prada, which nodded to an outfit Peter Parker once wore in the comics. \u201cThat [look] was a testament to Law and method dressing,\u201d Cox says of the latter. \u201cIt\u2019s a bit harder to lean into that for men sometimes. But I did a bunch of research on the comics and found some easy character references we could lean into without being too on-the-nose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later that same night came a custom double-breasted Celine<\/a> suit paired with a deep red shirt and tie. The next day in Rome, Holland sported a workwear-inspired Balenciaga look designed by the house\u2019s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli<\/a>, before finishing things off in a shimmering mahogany Louis Vuitton suit by Pharrell Williams. That\u2019s a murderer\u2019s row of custom looks from fashion\u2019s biggest houses all in just over a week.<\/p>\n

It would\u2019ve been understandable if Holland and Cox had taken their foot off the gas once the press tour for Nolan\u2019s mythological blockbuster began. Instead, they seemed to floor it.<\/p>\n
