Did Taylor Swift’s ex Joe Alwyn ‘Copy’ Travis Kelce as 'The Brutalist' actor arrived at The Oscars

In an unexpected fashion moment at the 2025 Academy Awards, British actor Joe Alwyn drew attention for his striking resemblance to NFL star Travis Kelce’s signature style. The former boyfriend of global pop icon Taylor Swift graced the Oscars red carpet in a sleek black tuxedo and bowtie, but it was his sparkling brooch that truly captured the spotlight. The accessory bore a remarkable similarity to the floral brooch Kelce had donned at Super Bowl 59 earlier this year, fueling comparisons between the two men who share a connection through Swift.

Joe Alwyn’s brooch, featuring a ruby-colored stone at its center, was adorned with intricate purple and orange diamond-encrusted stones, adding a touch of elegance to his otherwise classic ensemble. The choice of accessory, reminiscent of Kelce’s bold gold rose brooch from the Super Bowl, sparked online discussions, with some fans playfully accusing the actor of "copying" the NFL star’s style.

Kelce, who has been in a highly publicized relationship with Swift since late 2023, turned heads at the Super Bowl with his burnt-orange suit, which he paired with a shimmering auburn two-piece set underneath. His outfit was completed with orange-tinted aviators and a slicked-back hairstyle, making him one of the best-dressed athletes at the event. Unfortunately for Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a tough 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that night, but his fashion choice left a lasting impression.
Alwyn, on the other hand, was attending the Oscars for his role in The Brutalist, a film nominated for Best Picture. The actor, who had largely remained out of the public eye since his split from Swift in early 2023, made headlines not just for his outfit but also for his rare comments on their past relationship. While promoting The Brutalist, he addressed his experience with fame, stating, "I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control… Right from the beginning, tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course."
Interestingly, Alwyn and Kelce weren’t the only ones sporting brooches on the red carpet. Actor Kit Connor also embraced the trend, pinning a dazzling silver brooch onto his black suit. With more male celebrities incorporating statement accessories into their outfits, it appears brooches are making a strong comeback in men's fashion.

Swifties, ever keen on drawing connections between the singer’s past and present relationships, were quick to notice the resemblance between Alwyn’s and Kelce’s style choices. While it may just be a coincidence, the comparisons added another layer of intrigue to the ongoing media fascination with Swift’s former and current partners.
