Frankly, who’s doing it like him?
Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie may be relatively new to the global spotlight — his role as Ilya Rozanov in Crave’s hit series launched him to worldwide acclaim within a few months. However, if we go by his style portfolio, the Texas-born actor might just be fashion’s new it boy.
Strategically exploring his success beyond the confines of television, Storrie has built a reputation as an adroit dresser whose personal style effortlessly glides between subtle experimentation, retro reinterpretation and bold risk-taking. Working alongside stylist James Yardley, Storrie has emerged as one of the young men shaping the fashion landscape and sparking wider conversations in pop culture through a combination of style dexterity, authenticity and smart branding.
And, frankly, he’s been nailing the fashion game with every new public appearance. Whether he is attending the most important red carpets during awards season, gracing the front rows of Paris Fashion Week or simply strolling down the street, Storrie has proven to be a total fashion darling.
As the star’s career keeps evolving and taking shape, the attention is no longer on whether Storrie can keep the momentum going—he’s proven he can—but rather, what his next step (sartorially and otherwise) will be. And, trust us, he always finds a way to raise the bar.
Below, we pay homage to the style of rock-pop princess, Olivia Rodrigo. Here are some of her best looks to date.
Below, No Manners looks back at and dives into some of the actor’s most prominent style moments to date.
December 11, 2025 – The Actors Night
One of Storrie’s first notable fashion appearances was his attendance at The Actors Night, hosted by The Actor Awards and ELLE. Styled by James Yardley, the actor opted for a sleek pinstripe suit that subtly evoked his Heated Rivalry premiere outfit and set the ground for future pinstripe looks — one of Storrie’s style signatures by now. While the look was admittedly effortless, the styling leveled it up by playing with asymmetry — Storrie wore one of the jacket’s lapels up, reinventing the popped collar hack for the new generation.
December 18, 2025 – Is This Thing On? Premiere
Once again embracing the pinstripe suit, Storrie stepped out in Los Angeles to attend the premiere of Searchlight Pictures’ Is This Thing On? For the occasion, Storrie and his style team opted for an ’80s-infused boxy silhouette. Paired with an unbuttoned silk shirt underneath, the look encapsulated Storrie’s ability to rock retro-leaning style elements and channel leading men of bygone eras.
January 7, 2026 – The 32nd Annual Actor Awards Nominations
Keeping up with the old-school heartthrob energy, Storrie announced the nominations for the 2026 Actor Awards (SAG Awards) dressed in a 70s-inspired look. The outfit featured slightly flared ivory pants, a silk shirt with various buttons unbuttoned and a double-breasted black jacket. The pièce de résistance was a Hublot timepiece: the Classic Fusion King Gold 38mm watch that tied the look together with an elegant touch.
January 7, 2026 – Chanel Coco Crush Dinner
Joining A-listers and Chanel brand ambassadors like Gracie Abrams, Becky Armstrong and Lily Allen, Storrie arrived at Chateau Marmont to celebrate the launch of Chanel’s Coco Crush newest collection. The actor went for the monochrome route, wearing head-to-toe black. HIs it boy ensemble featured skinny pants and a black satin blouson, allowing Storrie’s watch selection to stand out. (And yes, in case you were wondering, the beloved internet boyfriend fittingly sported a Chanel Boy Friend silver timepiece.)
January 11, 2026 – Golden Globe Awards
For his first Golden Globes red carpet, Storrie embraced rock star energy, donning a broad-shouldered jacket and relaxed fit set by Saint Laurent. Though the look was straightforward and relatively simple, Storrie amped it up with accessories and beauty statements. The actor sported a skinny tie, patent-leather shoes and round frames, topping the ensemble off with the iconic Bird on a Rock brooch by Tiffany & Co. Beauty-wise, Storrie went for a mod-infused hairstyle that flattened his natural curls but retained texture and edge.
January 27 – Saint Laurent Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 show
Proving that the queer love media-to-Fashion Week pipeline is real, Storrie made his front row debut at the Saint Laurent Menswear Fall/Winter 2026 show — less than three months since the release of Heated Rivalry, nonetheless! The actor departed from his regular line of styling, going for a memorable khaki suit. Storrie accessorized with a mustard yellow silk shirt and a bronze tie, worn tucked under the third button. In his beauty moodboard were legendary rockstar hairstyles and minimal makeup, which brought his Men’s Paris Fashion Week debut to the next level.
February 22 – Cultured Magazine’s The Entertainers’ Issue Dinner Launch
Just ahead of his birthday, Storrie co-hosted a dinner party to celebrate the launch of Cultured Magazine’s The Entertainers’ issue. The actor reintroduced the sheer dressing trend with a spin: opting for an opaque transparent mint shirt tucked into tapered pants. His grooming for the night consisted of a heavily gelled hairstyle and a classic barbe de trois jours (designer stubble).
February 25 – Saturday Night Live Teaser
Offering a peek into his upcoming gig, hosting the NBC sketch-comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL), Sorrie starred in an accent battle sketch. For the momentous occasion (ICYMI, SNL recruits some of entertainment’s most famous figures at the peak of their careers, from Bad Bunny to Harry Styles), the actor kept things effortless, but on brand, dressed in a cobalt blue ribbed top by Entire Studios, blue jeans and a hat that subtly nodded to his Texan roots.
February 26 – Saturday Night Live Teaser
In another teaser video for his highly anticipated debut in SNL—fans reportedly camped outside NBC to catch a spot in the studio—Storrie once again turned to retro style. The actor sported a Paul Smith look taken straight from the Fall/Winter 2026 collection, presented back in January. Styled by James Yardley, the outfit featured all of Storrie’s style signatures: brown relaxed-fit pleated pants, a printed tie and a pinstripe silk shirt in cream tones.
March 15, 2026 – Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Never afraid to take risks, on screen or on the red carpet, Storrie embraced the naked dressing trend to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. His look, taken from the Saint Laurent Fall 2026 collection, featured a skin-tight sheer top and matching chocolate brown trousers. The actor topped the outfit off with a faux-fur stole, an opulent selection of Tiffany & Co. jewelry that included a HardWear link necklace covered in diamond pavé and an array of Elsa Peretti® rings, and a ‘70s-fashioned curly mullet hairstyle. Bonus points because Storrie and co-star Hudson Williams coordinated their sheer looks on the red carpet.
May 1, 2026 – Costume Institute (Met) Gala
Asserting his status as one of the most promising names in fashion and entertainment, Storrie made his highly anticipated Met Gala debut, decked out in a tailored Saint Laurent look. The actor channeled Greek art for the occasion with a silhouette and hairstyle reminiscent of the ancient sculptures he is often compared to. Meanwhile, his outfit for the night paired a black suit with a draped polka-dot top that featured a long scarf-slash-train. A set of floral brooches and a timepiece by Tiffany & Co. complemented the buzzworthy ensemble—Storrie emerged as the top Media Impact Value-performing male celebrity at the event, according to Launchmetrics. Yes, Connor is that boy.
June 23, 2026 – Saint Laurent Men’s SS27 Show
June 23 might have been the hottest day in Paris for strictly climatic reasons, but at the Bourse de Commerce de Paris, there was something else, or rather someone else, heating things up. Storrie, returning to Paris Fashion Week for the second time in a row, opted for a risqué look featuring a translucent raincoat layered atop a black tank top and matching tailored shorts. The outfit’s key point? A pair of latex-resembling boots, dubbed the “kinkiest” “Berghain BDSM session-ready” footwear at Paris Fashion Week FW26. Do we even need to say this look singlehandedly broke the internet?
August 14, 2026 – Saint Laurent Fall 2026 Campaign
While technically this isn’t a personal style moment, but rather a highly planned brand project, Storrie’s first appearance in a fashion campaign deserves a mention in this list. For his debut advertising campaign as a Saint Laurent ambassador, the actor slipped into a selection of retro-esque pieces and sleek tailoring, anchored by an ’80s curls hairstyle. Adding charisma and personality to the Talia Chetrit-lensed campaign, the actor delivered a top eyewear moment, wearing a pair of wraparound glasses as he sang a rendition of Mili Vanilli’s 1988 hit, “I’m Gonna Miss You.”
