Celebrity Style Mashup: Johnny Depp and Shia LeBeouf - Channeling the Public Transformers

Two of the summer's hottest commodities are at a big screen near you, in blazing style. Johnny Depp sheds his pirate gear for Retro suits and Shia LeBeouf takes on the transformers, in classic jeans and leather coat. Both actors exude a sense of cool and modern appeal, yet both fit snugly with hip and retro styles of the men who came before them.

The Slim Suit
After wearing beads in his hair and his goatee, Johnny Depp may be pleased to shed his pirate skin for a fresh-faced and kempt look, with retro suits of the 1930s. For the look, Depp dons the full suit ensemble complete with gloves, vest, heavy trench coat and not surprisingly, a hat.

Fedoras are a must in the Johnny Depp-inspired wardrobe. Depp also wears light-colored shoes to match off-white suit pants and shirt in the film. A monochromatic look, from head to feet can look suave on the right guy.

Shia, Frank and Dick
Another version of the slim suit which can be seen on Shia LeBeouf is the casual combination of white dress shirt, skinny tie, slender jeans and a button-up sweater. The look hearkens back to both Frank Sinatra and Dick Van Dyke, two charismatic men of talent. Adding his own twist to the look, Shia LeBeouf would be more likely to wear a pair of black or gray Vans Classic Slip-On Core Classics than a casual or dress shoe with this ensemble.

Black Leather
No matter how you mash up a look inspired by Johhny Depp and Shia LeBeouf, some items will remain the same. A black leather coat with a bad boy Marlon Brando look is a must. A pair of relaxed blue jeans, in good shape, paired with a graphic T-shirt should also be in this wardrobe. Dress it up with a pair of black biker boots or dress shoes. Or, pull a Shia and dress your ties and shirts down by donning a pair of comfortable slip-on sneakers.
