What are those beet-red pieces of sartorial crap he is wearing?

Looks like a GoodWill shopper.

You should say, “no offense to Goodwill shoppers.”

Think of Cousin Vinnie.

Hey, hey, back off on the Good Will shoppers.

When we were digging out from under an avalanche of medical debt, Good Will, Salvation Army, and second hand stores kept us in clothes for several years. I came from money so I knew what to look for in terms of cut, quality, and condition. Champagne taste on a beer pocketbook.

We got so proficient at bargain hunting that my family and I still go to them even though we are comfortable now.

I would often find gently used designer clothes, leather coats, jackets, and boots for pennies on the dollar. Isaac Mizrahi raincoat, originally $200, for $6. Coach sandals originally for $98, I snagged for $5. Gorgeous Naked Cashmere pullover, originally $295, for $12. My personal bests were a Silver Fox jacket with leather trim, retail about $600, for $40, a full length racoon coat, retail $4K, for $450 and a Prada bag (which still sells used for over $200) for $20.

That being said, I did laugh out loud at your comment because you have to dig through a ton of hideous, shabby clothes to find these gems.

Crazy, right? Luckily other people dress him for the movies he is in—and he looks good, very suave!

Someone needs to teach him how not to dress like that.

Actors and musicians often have an odd taste in clothes. Many of them have stage fright and as a sort of compensation and means of self-expression, they become flamboyant in how they dress.
