Brandon Sklenar Confirms Fashion Coincidence with Justin Baldoni at Oscars Afterparty
In the world of celebrity fashion, coincidences often spark speculation, and this was true for Brandon Sklenar when he donned a floral brooch at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, only to find that Justin Baldoni, his co-star from “It Ends With Us,” had sported a strikingly similar piece at a previous event. In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE during the SXSW Film & TV Festival, Sklenar, 34, clarified that the matching pins were purely accidental. “Honestly, no. I wish I could say there was,” he remarked, dispelling any notions of a secret style statement. It seems the actor simply liked the color and style of the brooch he chose for the night.
Sklenar’s honesty about this fashion faux pas—if you can call it that—highlights the often random nature of celebrity culture. We can picture him waking up, scrolling through social media, and realizing he had unwittingly entered a fashion faux pas contest with a fellow actor. “Oh, damn,” he quipped, as hilariously relatable as any of us would be in his shoes. This light-hearted anecdote serves as a reminder that even in the glitzy world of Hollywood, fashion missteps can happen to the best of us.
Meanwhile, amidst the fashion chatter, Sklenar is gearing up for the release of his new thriller, “Drop,” set to hit theaters on April 11. Co-starring Meghann Fahy, the film explores the harrowing experience of a widowed mother whose date goes awry as she receives threatening anonymous messages. Sklenar emphasized the importance of on-screen chemistry, hinting that their positive off-screen relationship contributed to the film’s success.
In a more serious note, Sklenar was also drawn into the ongoing legal drama involving his co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, a claim he vehemently denies, and while Sklenar expressed sympathy for Lively, he redirected focus back to the film’s core message about love and support. “I just want people to remember what it’s about,” he said, embodying a sense of purpose amid the swirling controversy.
As the actors navigate the complexities of their professional and personal lives, one thing is clear: whether it’s a matching brooch or a complicated legal battle, the show must go on.
