Napoleon Dynamite was a
long way from being Anna Win-
tour when he uttered: “I like
your sleeves, they’re real big.”
But 15 years after the film, we’re
seemingly taking our new fash-
ion directive from the sweaty
dancer. The poofy ’80s prom
sleeve is back in a big way (as if
these sleeves could do any-
thing subtly), and I don’t know
how to feel about it.
Well, actually I do know, but
I’d hate to offend anyone’s art-
istry or taste. But, here goes:
I’m not on board with the
sleeves. But I’ve never been an
early adopter of anything. Per-
haps they’ll grow on me, but
looking at the big sleeves gives
me a pit in my stomach.
Unlike stars onthe Emmys
red carpet, I’m not ready to em-
brace the trend with open
arms. (“Could she even lift her
arms in those sleeves?” any
spin instructor who has led me
through the arms portion of
class contemplates.)
“This Is Us” actress Susan
Kelechi Watson, “Big Sick” star
Zoe Kazan and Emerald Fennell
of “Killing Eve” were far more
fashionably daring than I,
walking the carpet on TV’s big-
gest night. Meanwhile, I’m just
happy there were no reports of
anyone bumping into each oth-
er like untethered Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade bal-
loons, as it would’ve taken
Gwyneth Paltrow, a victim of
her restrictive vintage Valenti-
no gown, forever to get out of
harm’s way.
But it’s not just the red car-
pet. Puffed sleeves popped up
at Tory Burch’s presentation for
New York Fashion Week on
Sept. 8, for which the ’80s
served as inspiration, in part.
During Paris Fashion Week,
which kicked off Sept. 23, Isa-
bel Marant and Christian Siria-
no also showed designs in line
with the big sleeve trend.
So, if we can’t escape them –
literally– and saying “Poof be
gone” hasn’t seemed to work,
how can we keep sleeve anxiety
at CBD-treated levels? Celebri-
ty stylists Nicole Chavez and
Erin Walsh have some advice.
What’s good about
the puff sleeve trend
Both stylists say the empha-
sis on the shoulder helps create
the illusion of a smaller center,
which is a win, right?
Chavez, who dresses stars
like Kristen Bell, Jessica Simp-
son and Rachel Bilson, says
“that broad shoulder, that puff
sleeve, it really does give a very
feminine form. So it’s gonna
make anybody’s waist look
much smaller.”
Walsh, a stylist to celebs like
Sarah Jessica Parker, Alison
Brie and Beanie Feldstein, says
she feels pulled by the puffed
and large shoulders. “It’s just
kind of flattering on most wom-
en. It makes you look more pro-
portional and thinner.”
She adds, “volume in the
arms kind of helps the rest of
the story out, I think it’s a good
hack in fact.”
How to modernize
puffy sleeves
But how do you make sure
you don’t appear to have es-
caped an ’80s prom photo? The
stylists say the way you com-
plement your look should be a
nod to the present.
Chavez says she’d be sure
the beauty was “really contem-
porary or very pared down,”
and did not have a hint of an
“’80s vibe,” meaning “no col-
ored eye shadows.”
She adds that people should
think this way when assessing
their look head to toe, opting for
footwear that “doesn’t feel like
an ’80s shoe.”
And put those crimpers
down! “If you’re wearing an
’80s dress – ’80s to me was big
hair, perms, big bangs – I would
do something very sleek,” Cha-
vez says.
Similarly, Walsh advises to
“shake it up with more modern
accents that don’t feel quite so
literal to that reference,” rec-
ommending “clean crisp ac-
cents in terms of accessories.”
Trying puff
sleeves at home
Walsh warns exaggerated
proportions are not for the shy.
“I think you have to be very
confident and own what you’re
wearing for those kinds of
things to work out well.”
But she says there are ways
to “turn the volume up or
down” on the trend and shop-
pers can experiment without
breaking the bank.
“Anyone from J.Crew to Zara
is doing a less-exaggerated ver-
sion of a poofy sleeve than say
Alexandre Vauthier,” she says,
adding those who want to dip
their toe in can “start with
something smaller.”
Chavez agrees there are less
daring options. “There’s also
(the) interpretation of doing it
with ruffles,” she says. “I think
that you’ll find, like a butterfly
sleeve that seems more like
low-key.”
Chavez says she may stay
away from putting Jessica
Simpson in a poofy sleeve.
“So for someone who’s a lit-
tle bit curvier and I need to be
mindful of the bust – like I
would probably avoid doing a
puff sleeve on (Simpson), but I
can accentuate the waist by
adding that extreme shoulder
pad,” she says. “So, there’s dif-
ferent variations of the trend.”
She adds a puff sleeve would
work on the “smaller busted”
Kristen Bell “but again I would
need to pull her waist in so that
she doesn’t look like she’s
wearing a big tent.”
Will puff sleeves last?
Chavez believes power suit-
ing and strong shoulders have
saying power, more sothan the
poofy trend.
“The puff sleeve, the over-
exaggerated, intense sleeve,
that’s a harder one to pull off,”
she says. “So, I definitely think
that one might not hang around
as long, but I don’t think the
shoulder pads are going away
anytime soon.”
Walsh however, doesn’t
foresee the trend “dying any-
time soon.”
“I think you’re seeing more
and more of this kind of silhou-
ette injected into sweatshirts
and athleisure and weekend
wear as opposed to just straight
up dresses,” she says.
Walsh recommends not
overthinking it as trying trends
is “not that complicated.”

Puffy sleeves don’t signal ’80s comeback

erworldly cackle.
Phoenix is the latest in a long
line of movie Jokers, joining the
ranks of Jack Nicholson (1989’s
“Batman”), Heath Ledger
(2008’s “The Dark Knight”) and
Jared Leto (2016’s “Suicide
Squad”). But he does find the
appeal of the anarchic antago-
nist – for actors and popculture
fans alike – “curious” overall.
“I wonder if it’s that they
project their own feelings on
the character because in some
ways he’s a blank slate,” says
Phoenix, breaking into a gigan-
tic bottle of water while relax-
ing in an outdoor hotel bar area.
“Most of these villains and he-
roes, their motivations are so
clearly defined. Maybe there’s
something enjoyable about a
character in which we don’t
really know what motivates
him.”
Ledger posthumously won
an Academy Award for his Jok-
er, and Phoenix could make it
two-for-two for the bad guy at
the Oscars. A three-time nomi-
nee, he’s considered overdue
for golden glory, critical ac-
claim for his performance is
boosting awareness, and he
“most definitely will be in the
mix,” says Fandango.com man-
aging editor Erik Davis.
“(Oscar) voters love a juicy,
no-holds-barred performance,
he says. “And while Phoenix’s
take is tough to watch and
makes you uncomfortable at
times, those are often the most
powerful and lasting perfor-
mances because they are the
ones that stick with you long
after leaving the theater.”
The road to becoming Joker,
while “energizing,” wasn’t a
cakewalk, Phoenix says. Be-
cause there’s “limitless” poten-
tial for the character, he collab-
orated with Phillips constantly
about everything from Arthur’s
clownish look to his internal
persona. As Joker evolved, so
did Phoenix’s portrayal.
“When we were prepping for
it, I felt very frustrated because
I couldn’t lock on anything that
felt like a foundation for the
character,” Phoenix says. “And
at some point, I realized that
was the (expletive) point. He
was unstable.
“It’s shaky ground as an ac-
tor. I enjoy not knowing pre-
cisely what a character may do,
but you want to have like a cou-
ple moments that you feel solid
about. And that never really
happened,” he adds. “We just
became very comfortable with
not knowing.”
There was a lot of experi-
mentation. Phoenix liked the
idea of Arthur having a distinc-
tive laugh – a Joker trademark
- that was “almost painful.”
And as Arthur embraces a dark-
er side, his movements become
more graceful: He dances down
a steep stairway in one scene,
in garish makeup and ward-
robe, and one key sequence in-
volved Phoenix improvising a
bathroom ballet after Arthur’s
violent battle with subway bul-
lies, the turning point that
leads him down an unfortunate
path.
Phillips wanted Arthur to
look “malnourished and thin
and hungry,” so Phoenix lost 52
pounds for the role. He had
done it before (for 2012’s “The
Master”) but “in all honesty, I
didn’t want to do it again,” says
the actor, who worked with the
same nutritionist. “It’s a horri-
ble, brutal diet but you get all
the vitamins and minerals, so
you’re like safe. It’s grotesque.”
(His daily menu included ap-
ples, lettuce and steamed green
beans.)
That’s what you get when
Phoenix plays the Joker,
though. “He just takes things
and dials things up to 12,” Phil-
lips says. “Great actors bring
humanity even when they’re
playing inhuman people, and
that’s not just exclusive to Joa-
quin, but it’s why certain peo-
ple are actors and certain peo-
ple are great actors. They make
you feel for them even when
you’re not supposed to.
“The joke of the movie is we
make you feel for (Arthur) for a
long part. The joke is on the au-
dience, so to speak, to the point
where you’re like, ‘I felt for this
guy and he’s a lunatic.’ ”
But playing such a dark and
twisted role never affected
Phoenix in a negative way psy-
chologically.
“As humans, we’re so mal-
leable – it’s probably how we
survive and adjust and adapt,”
he says. When making a movie,
“my whole life changes. I go to a
new city, I’m living in a new
place. I don’t have photos from
home or anything that reminds
me of my life.
“I don’t know that you know
how it changes you, or whether
it does. But I certainly don’t
have any great actor stories
about having nightmares or
(stuff ) like that. Honestly, I had
so much fun making this.”
Although he grew up loving
comic books, Phoenix “never
thought about” the fact that
those characters have reached
such highs in modern culture.
He was a candidate for a hot
minute to play Marvel’s Doctor
Strange – a role that ultimately
went to Benedict Cumberbatch- and now that he has one com-
icbook movie under his belt,
he’s not ruling out another.
Phillips has said that he
doesn’t see “Joker” connecting
to any future films, although its
retro vibe and the appearance
of the Wayne family – in combi-
nation with Robert Pattinson
assuming the cape and cowl as
a young Caped Crusader in
Matt Reeves’ “The Batman”
(out June 25, 2021) – have some
fans swooning over a possible
reboot of an old rivalry.
Asked about a return, Phoe-
nix seems more open than his
director, wearing a smile that
might not be Joker-esque yet is
still slightly mischievous.
“Early on in the process of
shooting, we talked about other
stories and other possibilities
but it’s not really up to me. It
was such a unique working ex-
perience with Todd and I didn’t
really want it to end. We’ll see.”
Phoenix
