Clooney Transforms Sandler's Style, Ushering in a New Era of Red Carpet Fashion

According to a recent report, Hollywood icon George Clooney, 64, has been influencing the fashion choices of his longtime friend and co-star, comedian Adam Sandler, 59. Clooney revealed that he's been encouraging Sandler to wear suits instead of his signature relaxed attire, which typically consists of oversized t-shirts, shorts, and sneakers.

The two actors were spotted on the red carpet for the New York Film Festival premiere of their new movie, Jay Kelly, on September 29, 2025, both wearing tailored navy blue suits and black leather shoes. Clooney noted that he's been making Sandler "wear suits" and believes the comedian looks "nicer" in a more polished look.

This sartorial transformation is a departure from Sandler's usual style, which has become a trend in its own right. The "Madam Sandler" or "Sandlercore" look, featuring his signature casual ensembles, has gained a cult following on TikTok. However, Sandler has embraced a more formal aesthetic for recent high-profile events, including a tuxedo and black bowtie at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.

Despite the change, Sandler remains comfortable in his own skin, with his wife, Jackie, always being supportive of his fashion choices, even when others criticized his relaxed style in the past. As Sandler's style continues to evolve, it's clear that Clooney's influence has had a lasting impact on the comedian's red carpet appearances.
