CINEMA CHARACTERS... QUENTIN STYLE!

Today, on the occasion of Quentin Tarantino's sixtieth birthday, let's take a look at the styles he chose for the characters in his most famous films!

Pulp Fiction - John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson

Let's start from the beginning, with his first success that brought him to the attention of Hollywood's major producers: Pulp Fiction. This cult classic features undisputed male leads John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, who play Vincent Vega and Jules Winnifield respectively, both strongly characterized from a visual perspective. John Travolta wears long, straight black hair, often worn loose and slicked back, or more rarely tied in a low ponytail, to create an elegant and striking aesthetic. Samuel L. Jackson, on the other hand, wears his hair curly and completes his eye-catching look with long sideburns and a horseshoe mustache, which define the character in his search for his own identity. These extravagant and eclectic looks combine well with the elegant black suit, fundamental to characterizing the two characters' strong archetypes.

Inglourious Basterds - Brad Pitt

Moving on to Inglourious Basterds from 2009, we find Brad Pitt playing the main protagonist Aldo Raine, a patriotic American lieutenant from the Second World War, who wears his hair straight in a clean, neat cut with a high, well-styled quiff. Finally, to complete the 1940s look, Tarantino chose to add a chevron mustache. To achieve the same strong hold, try our matte effect wax!

Django Unchained - Jamie Foxx

To play the lead in this other cult classic, Tarantino chose Jamie Foxx. In this film, the protagonist sports several extravagant and brightly colored looks, which the director decides to pair with various accessories to clearly represent the character's evolution and his desire to define his identity. In keeping with the film's central theme, Foxx wears his afro hair natural and completes his aesthetic essence with an elongated goatee that frames the actor's face.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood - Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt

Finally, the cast of Tarantino's latest major hit features the names of Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, who appear on the big screen fully embracing the 1969 Los Angeles setting. Brad Pitt plays Cliff Booth with mid-length blonde hair for a natural look, accompanied by sideburns. He completes his casual aesthetic with a denim jacket or a t-shirt and a patterned shirt, worn strictly open, and sunglasses. Leonardo DiCaprio, meanwhile, plays the role of Rick Dalton, wearing his hair neatly combed and finishing his elegant, groomed look with a brown leather jacket - Booth and Dalton seem exactly like the types who would use our argan oil, try it yourself to make your beard and hair shine!

And to end on a high note, let's look at the style of the creator of these great cult classics, one of the most important figures in cinema from the 90s to today: Quentin Tarantino, who is celebrating his sixtieth birthday today! Over the years, the Oscar winner has never dared to make big changes, remaining faithful to a simple and natural cut that accompanies his already iconic and extravagant persona.
As he gets older and the first gray hairs appear, Barberino's suggests he embrace the change and kick off his sixties by growing a thick beard, which would suit his persona well and fit perfectly with his image as an expert aficionado and influential artist of the seventh art!
