Tom Holland gets a confidence boost whenever he steps out wearing clothes by Prada.
The Spider-Man: Homecoming star is the new face of the band’s Paradigme fragrance and he’s revealed he’s been working with the design house for many years and always relies on their outfits to make him feel good if he has to walk a red carpet.
He told WWD: “I’ve worked with Prada for years now and continue to opt for their clothes on carpets – an environment that usually makes me uncomfortable, and Prada [has] never failed to fill me with confidence when I’m stepping out.
“I instantly felt the same the first time I discovered Prada Paradigme …
“I like things understated. But I do think a good scent can make a difference. It’s like … an invisible accessory”
Tom also revealed he doesn’t usually wear fragrance but he’s realised it can also help give him a mood boost, telling GQ magazine: “When I first sprayed it [Paradigme], it was very woody, very earthy, and very wonderful, actually.
“What I love about fragrances is how it can connect you to specific memories. Sometimes when I’m having a bad day, I pull my favourite one out of my drawer and it helps me remember the good times … “
Tom added: “I like one spritz on either side of my neck, and then two on my left wrist – I kind of rub my wrists together. And once I’ve got my clothes on, I might do a final spritz over the top, but nothing too extensive.”
Fellow actor Robert Pattinson is also the face of a fragrance after starring in a campaign for Dior Homme, and he previously told GQ he has a “ritual” as he likes to “spray it in the air and walk through it”.
Tom said of his pal’s perfume ritual: “Of course he does. I love Rob to death, he’s a good friend of mine – we just made another movie together.
“I can absolutely picture him, coiffing his perfect hair, walking through a mist that he’s created for himself. He’s very dramatic and very artsy, and it seems exactly like the kind of thing that he’d do.”
