Jeff Bridges had The Dude\u2019s bathrobe. Tony Soprano had his own robe. Now, Leonardo DiCaprio has joined the \u201cdad robe hall of fame\u201d in Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s new film, the critically acclaimed One Battle After Another<\/a>. On that note, we now have some insight into how the plaid robe came to be in his 2025 movie release<\/a>!<\/p>\n According to Variety<\/a>, the faded plaid get-up wasn\u2019t part of the plan. Costume designer Colleen Atwood revealed that Bob, DiCaprio\u2019s revolutionary-turned-stoner-dad character, was initially supposed to just wear a sweatshirt. Then, in a very Dude-like turn of events, someone (maybe Anderson, maybe Leo) suggested, \u201cWhat if he\u2019s just in his robe?\u201d The rest is cinematic loungewear history. Atwood explained to the outlet:<\/p>\n I found some vintage-looking fabric and made the multiples I needed for the robe\u2026 It\u2019s an old, cheap dad robe. It\u2019s a comfortable and cozy robe. And we aged the fabric a lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Additionally, DiCaprio leaned into the look reminiscent of one of the fit from one of the best movies of the \u201890s<\/a>. At the film\u2019s premiere, the Oscar winner even admitted his inspiration was none other than Bridges<\/a>\u2019 iconic Lebowski character, describing Bob as \u201ca guy that sits home and smokes pot all the time.\u201d In other words, The Dude abides\u2026 but now with a 2025 update.<\/p>\n Credit: Warner Bros Pictures<\/p>\n Of course, the robe wasn\u2019t the only part of Bob\u2019s look. The whole vibe came together with a pair of sunglasses, a dad hat and sneakers DiCaprio apparently handpicked himself. Atwood says the Killers of the Flower Moon star preferred Altra Lone Peak trail runners because of their wide toe box. (Yes, even stoner dads in PT Anderson films need the proper footwear.)<\/p>\n The funny part? You won\u2019t find this robe on any high-end designer rack. Atwood joked that if you want to cosplay Bob this Halloween:<\/p>\n A nice Goodwill shop will do the job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This detail feels so quintessentially PTA, as he knows how to find beauty, humor and humanity in the faded corners of American life. The robe says as much about Bob as his dialogue does. He\u2019s a man who once fought the system, and is now fighting inertia in his living room.<\/p>\n Credit: Warner Bros.<\/p>\n One Battle After Another, a book-to-screen adaptation<\/a> of Thomas Pynchon\u2019s Vineland, follows Bob, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a burned-out former revolutionary who lives a paranoid life while trying to raise his independent daughter, Willa, away from the chaos of the world. When an old rival shows up and Willa goes missing, Bob is dragged back into the life he thought he left behind. This wild search forces both of them to deal with the mess from their past. This film is Paul Thomas Anderson’s second crack at adapting a Pynchon story, the first being Inherent Vice in 2014.<\/p>\n The Dude and his lounge wear still resonate after more than 25 years<\/a>, so DiCaprio\u2019s not about to dethrone him as the king of robes, but it\u2019s definitely going to give it a run for its money. So don\u2019t be surprised if you leave the theater wanting to hit up a thrift shop to hunt for the ultimate plaid robe. One Battle After Another is being touted<\/a> as one of the best movies of the year and is now in theaters, so check your local listings for showtimes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
