In GQ’s latest profile, Ben Affleck isn’t just returning to the spotlight—he’s reclining in it, feet up, cigarette in hand, styled head-to-toe by the ever-effortless George Cortina. Shot in a gorgeous Los Angeles home, through the lens of pure ’70s flair with an unapologetically modern wink, the feature reads like a love letter to duality: moody, minimalist, and just enough maximalist.
Cortina’s wardrobe direction moves seamlessly from a sharp Richard James Savile Row suit—complete with tonal accents—to soft, washed knits, relaxed tailoring, and those now-iconic crimson socks. There’s an undeniable sense of humor behind the wardrobe choices, a playful provocation that leans into Affleck’s meme-able, self-aware presence while restoring him to his rightful place as a sartorial mainstay.
Balancing Cortina’s charisma-drenched styling is set designer Stefan Beckman, whose interiors feel equal parts mid-century daydream and contemporary cool-down. A plush leather armchair here, a retro dial phone there—each element complements Affleck’s wardrobe without competing for attention.
