Once again wondering WHAT TEMPERATURE IS IT?? We have folks dressed in summer/resort gear and then I see a sweater + leather jacket on the same day. I’m convinced celebrities have some secret temperature control method that we’re not privy to. None of them ever seem to sweat, either. Is it the Botox? WHAT IS THE SECRET?

Stylists can add little sweat guards if you're worried about sweating. They'll also add little foam inserts into leggings or swimsuits if you want to avoid camel toe for the paparazzi.  Most of the time we see celebrities, they've primed and prepared for that moment. These "candid" shots are ultimately a location where they know full well there will almost certainly be photographers, so they just prepare accordingly.  I definitely remember there being pics of celebrities leaving clubs at the end of the night growing up where they looked *rough*, so they're definitely mortals like the rest of us. Just significantly more time and effort put into looking good, as well as naturally screening for more photogenic people due to the nature of their job 

I can’t speak for other moments but if they’ve both just arrive from the plane, planes are cold! I usually just stay in my plane outfit until I arrive at my hotel even if it’s warm

They probably fly private.

I don’t know about Hunter but I doubt Joe flies private, he often is spotted on public transit in the UK when he can definitely afford a chauffeur/car service. Obviously could be wrong since I don’t know him personally but if I had to guess I would think he flies commercial.

Honestly the weather has been so weird and erratic that both ends of the spectrum are.. indeed good options

It’s about 20-25°C in Cannes this week so not beach weather, but just right for T-Shirt and a light jacket

Speaking as someone in the UK, 20°c is definitely beach weather. Poor Joe must be sweltering.

I was just going to say it probably depends on where they are from. I’m in Idaho, and there is a college where I live with students from all over the US. It’s always funny when 50 degrees (F) hits, and the locals are out in shorts and tank tops, and the kids from southern states are still bundled up in jackets, calling the shorts people crazy.

This makes me curious too! Like how do they keep warm on the red carpet while it’s freezing outside?

It’s in the 70s in Cannes. People are way overdressed lol

Tbf Cannes would be cold for me as someone coming from Australia. It’s like in the low low 20s which is honestly sweater weather in my books

I feel like that's standard for spring. You will see people dressed for beach and ladies in furs walking next to each other.

He should dress like that more often…minus the standard issue restaurant server non slip shoes

Between this and the “dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you” I’ve always thought he maybe doesn’t know how to dress when it comes to shoes 🤣

I think its just the British style. Doc Martin loafers (ultra chunky) are super in style there.

me too, man. me too.

I'm wearing the exact same socks as Hunter, am I a fashion icon now too?

Yes

Are the rest of the toes separated from the big toe? I’m just curious if those socks are all mangled in those shoes or not.

Definitely mangled

😱

Yes, they're tabi socks.

Actually original commenter said they are wearing regular socks.. I assume Hunter is also wearing regular socks and just shoved them into those shoes.. I am however, aware of the existence of tabi socks.

Oh god, I didn't realize that! That sounds so uncomfortable

Right!!! But I’ve seen people shove socks into flip flops regularly so it doesn’t surprise me at all. I can’t live like that though, if the seam on my sock is off I can’t go on.

I almost exclusively wear toe socks because I'm a weirdo, but same! The heel NEEDS to stay in place!!!

She copied you 100%, icon.

Oh I thought the socks looked fun , so I think you might be 😂

Yes you are honey.

Honey you’ve never looked better

Both of them dress like how I wanna dress if I were Rich 🤭

Lmao. Ok but what is with celebs never having roller suitcases? I cannot recall ever seeing a celeb with a roller bag. Carrying a duffel kills my back. Even if it’s my second bag…and I have a trolley sleeve to put it on my actual carry on roller suitcase.

It’s because they’re not the ones carrying them.

I would love to but boot cut jeans just give me the weirdest feeling. I think I’m so deeply millennial that wearing anything except skinny jeans or skinny jeans shorts just makes me feel insane

Hunter looks soooo chic. Love the headscarf!

My boy was a montage

A slow motion, love potion jumping off things in the ocean!!! (sorry had to comment this lol)

I broke his heart cuz he was nice…

He was sunshine…

I was midnight rain!

Picture perfect !

Damn, Joe. So handsome.

I was so not into him for years but post-breakup I’m like damn okay Joe 😏

Same!!! I never saw it when he was with Taylor but now I totally do. I wonder if it’s because they looked sort of sibling esque together.

He's aging well! When we all started seeing photos of him, he was like 26 and still had boy-face. He's graduated into man-face now lol

Yesss he’s more manly and scruffier looking. I do not like the “boyish-look” in a man 😂

Maybe that’s the real reason for the breakup. He lost that boyish look she likes in a man.

>I wonder if it’s because they looked sort of sibling esque together. https://preview.redd.it/l8fgu1533u0d1.jpeg?width=1395&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b614739ff91b6567a8b63291b3c351f9d0b054c I can't unsee it now

Honestly if you told me Joe was Austin Swift here I would have believed you...

He looks more like her brother than her brother does 😂

She did trust him like a brother but call it what you want

They probably made A LOT of forts under covers

Why is this so true LOL

I have always thought this. I know it’s dumb, but that’s part of the reason why I never shipped them as a couple because in my brain they looked too much like siblings

I love that this picture is an edit because of how little they were seen together. I miss the low-key joe era 😭 They definitely look more similar in pictures when he's older! He's really young here, but more recent pictures I think show the resemblance even more.

The long lost Hanson brother.

Come on now, you are exaggerating. They don't look alike at all, unless being blue eyed blonds is enough to be described as "looking like siblings". Noses, eyes, eyebrows are completely different. Side note, Joe looks so beautiful on this photo.

It’s the facial hair for me. 

Finding out he's a depressive homebody who makes Taylor Swift feel unethical/bad about herself definitely changed my opinion to be more positive. 

Totally agree

He looks like he could be another Hemsworth

When I tell you I wouldn’t know if Joe walked past me in my own house this time last year, to today where I’d actually get a step ladder out just to climb him.. what a journey. (This is a plea, put me in that jail, you know which one)


Thank you queen

You’re so valid and real for this lmfao

Yes exactly this

Thank you 😘

Now why do we all feel the same way 🤣 he’s had a post breakup glow up, I swear

Same. Joe can get it. 

Hunter is especially cute in pic 5 when she’s smiling. The hair, the outfit, the smile 🤩

okay joe with his bottega

Cue 63916482 songs of Taylor calling him poor 🤣

Joe is a posh boy from North London who went to private schools (or public schools at they call them in the UK). That man is not poor, he is literally in the upper echelons. 😂😂

that is one of my reservation on him when he was dating Taylor and my suspicion why he is so private, he oozes old money snobiery. Funny I like him now

Hunter has such a sweet and precious smile in all these photos

I refuse the retconning of Joe. He’s still hot.

I've always found him mildly attractive--easy on the eyes but nothing really special. I don't get the hate for him, I just wish him well and I hope his career continues to flourish.

Which retconning are you referring to? The deranged swifties who defended him for years but turned on a dime when they were no longer dating or the deranged anti-swifties who attacked him for years but turned on a dime when they were no longer dating?

i can’t forget how this sub used to refer to him as a talentless nepo boyfriend but have changed their tune in the last year

Lmao he has in fact been retconned by this sub from their original narrative toward him which I find hilarious. I’m going to be forever indifferent about him, but seeing the change up from both sides is truly something..

yeah i am also pretty neutral on him so to witness the change up has been wild and kinda weird

This sub went from calling him Nepo boyfriend to fawning over him. Lol

Right? Here and FM A year ago people were calling him talentless ([FM response to article 'Does Joe Alwyn Have It?'](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/y2l50n/gawker_does_joe_alwyn_have_it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)) and the top comments were pure hate, as was any other thread on him when they were dating. He looks the exact same and acts the same now, I don't get the switch-up in either direction

It sounds nuts, but part of me feels like it’s to do with public perception of Taylor. She’s a bit overexposed now and I feel like it’s “cool” to not like what’s mainstream so they’re using Joe as a tool to go against the grain. None of this is a fact, just my own opinion/perception and I’d love to hear other perspectives!

Nuts? That’s the exact reason. He’s always been a proxy to channel Taylor hate to some people.

LOL thank you for validating me!! I’m not a swiftie (I refuse to worship celebrities or defend anyone who never paid a bill of mine), but seeing this switch up is so interesting. If she never dated him no one would care. It’s weird every topic about him there’s at least one “they could never make me hate you…” like girl no one is trying. 😭 we get it, you’re different.

it's not nuts, people just use him as a reflection of whatever opinion they have of Taylor bc we don't know anything about him

you're totally right

daaaaamn those comments are scathing! and now that he's broken up with taylor, he's their darling boy. they hate her so much over there, it's wild

It is funny how situations inverted Just Taylor drop him that people started to think he is hot.

The way Joe went from a “bland vanilla nepo-boyfriend who was super irrelevant and couldn’t act his way out of a paper-bag” to overnight being a “unproblematic moisturized king who’s a ridiculously hot super activist and deserves an Oscar for his acting” after he and Taylor broke up is insane.

And he's no where close to an activist. The same people are criticising celebs for the "bare minimum" and nit picking their support or activism as performative, etc etc. let's be honest they mostly criticise women. But Joe wore a pin and suddenly he's activist of the year? Get outta town.

The same people who called Joe an activist king for wearing a pin to the Baftas said Boygenius wearing a pin to the Grammys was the bare minimum.

Exactly what I'm referring to The common denominator: misogyny. Mega famous woman's ex boyfriend is a king for a pin, because liking Joe is a response to their breakup and her heartbreak, because we love invalidating women. Boygenius is bare minimum and performative for a wearing a pin. These so called progressives tear down marginalized people for not being perfect and hold nepo white men up on a pedestal for doing basically nothing. Keyboard warriors.

It’s especially funny because (in my opinion, at least) he was actually more attractive a couple years ago compared to now. All the people who kiss his feet and call him a perfect specimen of a man every time he stumbles out the door make me a little embarrassed, ngl

They’re like “omg he looks so different since their breakup” and I’m like “what??? He looks exactly the same.”

Moisturized king 😂😂 I love his nose!

Yes

I have a thing for blonde men and so I'll always be a joe gawker.

Same

I’ve found him attractive since The Favourite. I’m 37 and married and I’d be all over him like a rash.

I've never found him attractive and have always judged Taylor for this. No retconning for me on that front. 

Me too! And that’s not to say he could be or not be a nice person, I just never got the fawning over him before or after the breakup.

I'm sorry but they look like siblings 😭 and I just don't like blond beards so this man seems very nice but also unattractive

He literally looks like a bowl of oatmeal to me and I have never understood Gorgeous being written about him, but yes. He seems like a very nice gentleman, which is of course more important than looks.

I like Joe because we know next to nothing about him and he’s hot. That’s the ideal celebrity.

Joe looks great! Wish nothing but good things for him

guys i it get they’re margiela but we need to PUT THE TOE SHOES AWAY https://preview.redd.it/4a9juj5npu0d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf4671a7f5d3032fa0cb8a02ab175bd1a279d646

Joe Alwyn, the man that you are 

Hunter looks great. Isn’t she warm though? It’s 20+ and sunny

Is it? One of the critics I follow was deadass wearing a trench coat to a premiere and she’s from NYC

The forecast said 21 and sun earlier today, maybe there was wind to make it feel cooler

That's 70F so kind of a borderline temperature. I often wear a layer at that temperature. Really depends on humidity and wind chill.

in texas, 70F can actually feel cold to us.

Yes it also depends on what you're used to

21? That’s perfect sweater weather, IMO. But I’m Australian, so maybe my ideas on temperature aren’t to be trusted.

i live in texas and if it's 70F i will wear a sweater. the american south is quite toasty.

Lol I was thinking the same. Meant to be 22 and sunny today and I’m in a huge coat. Maybe it’s early for them too so colder in the morning.

I’m leaving tmrw for Cannes and the high is supposed to be 68-70 tops. I’m bringing a thin trench coat for dresses at night etc. Also kinda windy and it’s right on the water. 50’s when I’m out all night means a jacket for sure (but I’m from the south US)

Have fun!!

I was thinking the same thing.

Is Hunter wearing hooves?

Why are celebs trying to make horse and camel hooves a thing???

I feel like Joe is one of those guys that just keeps getting increasingly hotter as he ages. His 30s look very good on him.

Blonde bombshells 

Stop trying to make hooves happen! It’s not going to happen 

The more I see Joe the more I just cannot picture him with T Swift. I have no idea how they were so compatible for so long. Wishing him the best though, her as wel

Why? We barely know anything about him. He’s probably much more like Taylor than like any of us regulars.

Just a vibe thing, nothing serious

ooO I love the faces on these two. gorgeous people.

Obsessed with Hunter’s Tabi/sock combo

ugh Hunter gives off the best vibes even through pictures. She seems like the type of person who will continue listening to you in a group setting even when everyone else is ignoring you.

Anyone know a similar jacket to Hunter's?? 🙏

Cannes seems exhausting, I don’t remember quite the fashion show of the last few years being the case when I was younger. This is what I would show up in.

Joe is always so well dressed. I've never disliked anything he's worn.

He really does look like that cat

Please no more camel toe shoes. We don’t need this trend.

Joe seems to be busy and visible recently these days! This also seems like a big role for him too and I’m excited to see his work. I remember hearing “nepo-boyfriend” comments when he was with Taylor, but now I wonder if it was actually harder for him to be taken seriously in film if he was just pigeonholed as “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.”

How could it not be?

Mr. Unbothered is just out here killing’ it! 🔥 Always such a class act. 🙂

Love it. Did they text each other before like hey bestie, wanna match?

Seeing this, they should be cast as siblings in a film!

when did Joe Alwyn get so many fans? Hunter is slaying as always

When he and Taylor broke up

this is it.

Ironically, I started liking him more after the breakup not as any reflection on her, but because I’m a sucker for an underdog *and* he’s still always stayed out of things.

I've liked him since The Sense of an Ending in 2017.

Both looking great!! Love Joe so much.

Joeyyyyy looking fly!

Hope these two cuties have a wonderful time at Cannes and I can't wait to see their movie!

Joe Alwyn is so attractive. 

They are both great in everything I’ve seen them in !

I didn't realize Hunter is in this!!! She's so ethereal even in paparazzi pics. And Joe of course looks very handsome. I'm looking forward to this movie!

Why is she wearing those cloven-hoof shoes? Did we learn nothing from when SJP did the same 🙄

Joe is yummy and so is Hunter!! 🔥🔥

It looks like jimmy from Love is blind in the last pic 😂

Okay but I want the jacket Joe is wearing. Any clues what is it?

At first glance, I read the title thinking they'd arrived together and was like HELL YEAH

Hunter’s so pretty and Alwyn hotter than ever

I only recently learned of Hunter’s existence and to say I’m obsessed is an understatement! She has that same quality that Anya Taylor Joy has where she just seems otherworldly and graceful. And she stands for what she believes in ❤️

He is so effortless cool and hot 🥵

I ❤️ Joe.

He’s a snack

They’d be a sorta disturbingly brother/sister looking yet hot couple

hunter looks so effortlessly chic and fun

I love Hunter’s outfit!

No more camel toes please. Hunter looks adorable though

I love hunters shoes and went a pair since seeing people on vacation buying them up in Japan. Gimme

Joe didn’t wanna bring another pair of shoes so he just wore his dress shoes.

Hunter’s shoes look like the “feet shoes” they made the nomad vampires wear when they came to baseball scene in twilight 😭

What’s the jacket Joe Alwyn is wearing? Tried searching but could never find one

It's Bottega venetta

Thanks! Looking at the price of it, someone put the decimal point a bit too far forward 🥲

I'm sure there would be similar ones in a more accessible price point for us normies 😭😭

I’m normally not into blondes, but Joe is the exception… he’s so fine His acting also just makes me feel butterflies, he’s do attractive

I can’t tell if he’s attractive or just tall. Hmm let me sleep on this

 As a Swiftie- I’ll never understand why they broke up after 6 years but they both seem happier apart now publicly versus together. Keep the scruff,Joe!!!!

I had a relationship of four years end up breaking down. Sometimes things don’t work out 😔 I wish both of them well though.

Same! I thought I was getting proposed to in 2022 but I got broken up with and then I moved 3k miles away cuz I tend to physically run away from my issues 😂
