Mark your calendars ladies and gentlemen! It's that time of year again: Leo season... no, not that one. It's the other one – that's right, we are only a few days out from 11 November, the 49th birthday of the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio.
DiCaprio's storied career in Hollywood is trumped by just about no one. Since his days as a teen heartthrob in the 90s, to his Oscar-worthy (and finally, Oscar-winning) performances in some of the greatest films of the last two decades – he's nothing if not a household name.
The iconic characters he's portrayed have been burnt into our minds – from the Hawaiian shirt he donned as Romeo in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of the classic Shakespeare tale, to the sleazy, suited portrayal of Wall Street's own Jordan Belfort. Who could forget his take on the great Jay Gatsby himself? Or his role as an undercover cop in Scorsese's The Departed.
But if there's one thing more iconic than his characters' style, it's a young Leonardo DiCaprio's street style. The actor has always kept things casual, lighthearted and neutral-toned when it comes to his street style and red carpet looks – he knows he doesn't need to be flashy. He's a long-time fan of the classic baseball cap, and is – relatably, but perhaps surprisingly – a fan of an Ugg boot moment too.
Below, we take a look at some of our favourite style moments from Leonardo DiCaprio.
