Brad Pitt debuts gray buzz cut at F1 premiere, turning heads in Mexico City on June 9 as he embraced a bold style transformation at multiple high-profile events. Pitt’s striking new hair, paired with his confident presence, had fans and the industry alike buzzing about Hollywood’s latest silver fox moment.
Pitt’s Red Carpet Transformation Breaks the Mold
In Mexico City, Brad Pitt, 61, made a memorable appearance at two separate red carpet events, unveiling a buzzed hairstyle and silvery beard. As the Oscar-winning heartthrob walked the carpet at the Sofitel Reforma, he donned a standout pink suit, baby blue shirt, and white mules, an ensemble that commanded attention. Accompanied by F1 costars Damson Idris and Kerry Condon, as well as director Joseph Kosinski and producing partner Jeremy Kleiner, Pitt exuded confidence and style that few can replicate.
The focal point, however, was not just Pitt’s colorful fashion. His freshly buzzed hair and salt-and-pepper beard made a powerful style statement, drawing as much attention as any outfit. Later in the evening, Pitt swapped his vibrant suit for a more classic gray tailored look—crisp white shirt, pointed boots, and a neatly arranged pocket square—exuding understated sophistication that complemented his new hair.
A Throwback with a Modern Twist Delights Fans
Pitt’s hair transformation evoked memories for longtime fans, reminiscent of his early 2000s style during his work with George Clooney in Oceans Eleven. This time, the actor embraced the gray, prompting an outpouring of admiration across social media. A fan captured the excitement, saying,
“Brad Pitt got a buzz cut. Believe me when I say that’s gonna be the haircut you see all the white boys have.”

While it remains unconfirmed if the new look is strictly for his role in F1, Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, is a former driver returning to the track with the fictional APXGP team. The much-anticipated movie is set for release on June 27, featuring practical racing scenes filmed at real Formula 1 events, adding authentic adrenaline to the viewing experience. Director Joseph Kosinski, recognized for his work on Top Gun: Maverick, teamed up with Pitt and Formula 1 to deliver a project that blends the glamour of the silver screen with thrilling on-track action, as noted by Yahoo! Entertainment.
