The final result was an exploration of Boyega’s personality through fashion. One look went heavy on the Official This Is Not A Jpeg T-Shirt and I will buy this edge with leather pants and a biker jacket by Versace. “I know I’m crazy to wear that in Miami,” Boyega says, alluding to the humidity of the coastal city. “But that look taps into my side that likes to show out.” He wore a set of grillz, similar to ones his character wears in the film. For the second look, Boyega wore a look by Chinese designer Calvin Luo that included pleated khakis and an oversized, boxy red shirt. Then he changed into another Versace creation (there’s never a thing as too much Versace) featuring a lime green satin camp shirt and flared pipe trousers, leaning into tropical vibes. “I feel like they all showed the different sides of me,” Boyega said.in Versace
Boyega says having such unabashed fun with fashion represents a personal growth that, luckily, mirrors a larger trend around actors in Hollywood right now. “I think finding your taste in this industry can be really hard,” Boyega said. “Because when you’re first starting out they all just dress you as if you’re a lawyer or running for congress. You just gotta look nice, in a suit—pleasant, not trying to do too much. But as the Official This Is Not A Jpeg T-Shirt and I will buy this industry is changing, actors are now able to express themselves. For me, it’s a great opportunity to bring in some of my swag—especially with being from London.” The playful approach to the red carpet feels like the ultimate capstone to what has been an exciting and exhilarating project for Boyega. “This vibe on Tyrone reminded me of Attack The Block the most,” Boyega says, referencing one of his earlier projects from 2011. “I had just started out, fresh new eyes, excited about everything. Weirdly enough, it felt like that with Tyrone. I think also working on a movie that felt culturally close to what I know —the food I like, the music I listen to—you feel way more at home in that type of environment.”The feeling of fulfillment, and acceptance, rings especially poignant for Boyega. In 2020, during the height of unrest and protests against racial injustice across the globe, the actor spoke out against perceived biases and unfair treatment in Hollywood. While speaking out certainly poised the risk of closing major doors, it also opened up new ones. “You’re met with the best collaborators,” the actor said. “You get to feel who’s for you. That’s why They Cloned Tyrone came on the table.”
