Jonathan Bailey knows exactly what he’s doing.
On Wednesday, the 36-year-old English heartthrob caused a stir channeling his inner leather daddy while supporting It-boy favorite designer brand Loewe.
The Spanish luxury fashion house hosted a party to honor the 30th anniversary of Studio Voltaire, a non-profit gallery and artist studios based in London, but it was Bailey who was the star of the show thanks to his form-fitting outfit and one curiously loosened accessory.
As if his handsome visage, scruffy beard, and a bicep-hugging cable knit sweater weren’t enough to get tongues wagging, Bailey poured his lower limbs into a pair of gorgeously tight black leather pants. He’s the full, erm, package!
However there was even more to behold. The pièce de résistance was Bailey’s casually undone belt buckle which teased a new level of thirst.
Excuse me, Sir!

If reactions to Bailey’s seductive fit and unbuckled belt are any indication, he may have just started a new trend.
The gays went feral.
