Yesterday Leonardo DiCaprio shared a shot of him and Brad Pitt on Instagram that is destined to become is already an iconic image in the style pantheon, shot on the set of Quentin Tarantino's next flick, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which centers around the infamous Manson Family murders of 1969. In the shot, Leo sports brown boot-cut pants (we're betting good money on a high polyester thread count), a worn leather belt and boots, a yellow turtleneck, and a soft orangey-brown leather blazer, topped off with a gold medallion and a chunky pinkie ring (yes, we see you). Pitt, meanwhile, is rocking double denim, aviators, a navy tee, and soft brown boots. With their immaculately casual haircuts and steely gazes, Pitt and DiCaprio would be more than happy in 1969, but they look equally at home in 2018, when high-fashion menswear has increasingly been taking cues from earlier eras. Pitt’s worn and whiskered jeans evoke Demna Gvasalia’s S/S ’18 Balenciaga show, where almost offensively regular-looking pants were paired with oversize suit jackets and Neo glasses. Call it “real person drag.” Balenciaga’s F/W ’18 ready-to-wear, meanwhile, paid tribute to the turtleneck, styling it under blazers à la Leo. Patent leather has slipped from the forefront as worn leather has reappeared, either as an accent or a full-length, heavy leather duster, as in Raf Simons’s Calvin Klein F/W ’18 show. The recent show was a continuation of Simons’s obsession with glossying up the Midnight Cowboy aesthetic for a more expensive contemporary audience. While Leo DiCaprio's and Brad Pitt’s outfits carry high-fashion cachet, they’re also eminently wearable. A turtleneck and pants under a casual jacket is a no-brainer (add the chain if you’re especially ballsy, or are a big fan of Donald Glover’s SNL episode). And DiCaprio’s palette is an inspiring vision for fall: We suddenly want everything yellow, orange, and brown that we can get our hands on. Pitt, whose jeans and jacket wouldn’t look out of place at Gucci, is sporting proportions that update the classic Canadian tuxedo for today. Either way, this one snap has gotten us very excited for what will no doubt be a fucked-up-in-a-good-way movie—and inspired to start shopping for fall.<doc-sep>Leonardo DiCaprio shared a first look from the new Quentin Tarantino movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. The image was posted by the 43-year-old Oscar winner to Instagram on Wednesday morning and saw him beside his co-star Brad Pitt, 54. The film's storyline, set against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders, sees the duo play Hollywood has-beens looking for a way back on top in the 1960s. Dressed for 1969: Leonardo DiCaprio, 43, treated his 24 million Instagram followers to a 'First look' of himself and Brad Pitt, 54, in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Pitt appears to have recently returned from London - where he was visiting his six children as his estranged wife Angelina Jolie worked on Maleficent 2 - to Los Angeles to work on the movie. DiCaprio and Pitt respectively play a 'former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double,' Deadline quoted Tarantino as having explained to Sony. 'Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But [DiCaprio's character] Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.' Manson Family members Charles 'Tex' Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel butchered Tate at her and her husband Roman Polanski's Los Angeles home in August 1969 - leaving the word 'PIG' scrawled on the front door in Tate's blood. Back in Cali: Pitt appears to have recently returned from London - where he was visiting his six children as his estranged wife Angelina Jolie worked on Maleficent 2 - to Los Angeles to work on the movie; seen in early June Tough times: This is the second major film Brad has made since his 2016 split from Jolie - his first was Ad Astra; seen in 2015 at their last red carpet appearance together In the house with Tate, who was pregnant, were coffee heiress Abigail Folger, Folger's beau Wojciech Frykowski, and Tate's hairstylist friend and ex Jay Sebring. All of them were killed as well - as was Steven Parent, 18, who had swung by the premises that evening to pay a call on its caretaker Bill Garretson, 19. Fortunately for Garretson, the Manson Family never came across him. The next night, Manson Family members entered the home of grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary LaBianca, and murdered them too. Charles Manson himself served life in prison and only died this past November, exactly a week after his 83rd birthday. The man behind the camera: The director is Quentin Tarantino. Pitt and DiCaprio have each acted for Tarantino once before - the former in 2009's Inglourious Basterds and the latter in 2012's Django Unchained In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Margot Robbie features as Tate, Emile Hirsch as Sebring and Damian Lewis as iconic movie star Steve McQueen. While discussing the film last July, Tate's sister Debra told TMZ that she felt Jennifer Lawrence was 'not pretty enough' to play the slaughtered actress. She floated Robbie as an option instead. Two days before that interview appeared online, Deadline had reported that Robbie and Tarantino had indeed taken a meeting about the possibility of her in the role. Pedigree: In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Margot Robbie (pictured) features as Sharon Tate, Emile Hirsch as Sebring and Damian Lewis as iconic movie star Steve McQueen Meanwhile, McQueen's first ex-wife Neile Adams told the Toronto-based National Post last year that he had been asked to dinner at Tate's house the night of her murder, but 'ran into a chickie and decided to go off with her instead.' Though the film was initially at Tarantino's frequent home The Weinstein Company, it moved over to Sony after Harvey Weinstein's operatic downfall amid a storm of sexual misconduct allegations that included accusations of rape. The producer has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has already ignited controversy over the casting of Hirsch, who was convicted and sentenced to 15 days in jail for assaulting Paramount executive Daniele Bernfeld at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The real Sharon: Manson Family members Charles 'Tex' Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel butchered Tate at her and her husband Roman Polanski's home in August 1969 With a cast that includes Burt Reynolds, Al Pacino and James Marsden, as well as Tarantino alumni like Zoe Bell, Michael Madsen, Kurt Russell and Tim Roth, the film will be released August 9 next year, marking the 50th anniversary of the murders. This month, Deadline reported the casting of Dakota Fanning as Manson Family member Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme, who went on to spend more than 30 years behind bars for a 1975 attempt on U.S. President Gerald Ford's life.

DiCaprio was the first actor to commit to the film, quickly followed by Pitt and Margot Robbie. Now, the cast has come together exceptionally well. The film also stars Timothy Olyphant, Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Al Pacino, Emile Hirsch, Clifton Collins Jr, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Keith Jefferson, Nicholas Hammond and Scoot McNairy. Tarantino has described the film as “a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.”<doc-sep>
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood doesn’t hit theaters until August 2019, but the hype behind it is already in full swing. Starring everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, to Margot Robbie, Burt Reynolds, Emile Hirsch, and Dakota Fanning—to name just a few—the film has all of the makings of an Oscar contender. Today, DiCaprio sent out a reminder of that when he shared the first look at his and Pitt’s characters in the Quentin Tarantino–helmed movie. “First look. #OnceUponATimeInHollywood,” DiCaprio captioned the photo. In it, he and Pitt are almost unrecognizable in their 1969 attire. In a double-denim look, Pitt could be mistaken for a young Robert Redford—which wouldn’t be the first time. Meanwhile, DiCaprio puts his spin on the color palette of the time with a pair of brown slacks, a saddle-leather blazer, and a mustard turtleneck. It makes sense that Pitt and DiCaprio are pictured together—without the rest of the cast—as the pair’s relationship is central to the film. In it, DiCaprio suits up as a washed-up Western TV show star named Rick Dalton who lives next door to Sharon Tate, played by Robbie. Pitt plays his sidekick, Cliff Booth, who worked as Dalton’s stunt double. “Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore,” as the director told Variety back in February. “But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.” Tarantino also gushed about how excited he is to have both actors working together, saying, “I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old. I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A., and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore. And I couldn’t be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio and Pitt as Rick and Cliff.” This is the first full-length film Pitt and DiCaprio have worked on together. Martin Scorsese did bring them together in 2015 for the short film The Audition, which costarred Robert De Niro. Even without glimpsing it, though, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is already shaping up to be their most memorable collaboration.
