Michael Keaton, the iconic actor known for his transformative roles, made an equally transformative appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” Keaton, who was there to promote his latest film, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” effortlessly blended classic and contemporary style in his outfit, with a particular focus on his choice of footwear.

Keaton opted for the Paul Smith Lido loafers, a striking choice that subtly elevated his look. The color-blocked leather in rich navy, brown, and white offered a modern twist on the classic loafer silhouette. The moccasin-stitched toe and saddle with beefroll detail added a touch of craftsmanship, perfectly complementing the actor’s sartorial flair. Inside, the loafers featured the signature Paul Smith stripes, a nod to the brand’s playful yet refined aesthetic.

During his conversation with Fallon, Keaton discussed Beetlejuice “Beetlejuice,” the much-anticipated sequel to the 1988 cult classic. Directed by Tim Burton, the film sees Keaton reprising his role as the mischievous ghost, alongside Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega.

Alongside Keaton, the rest of the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice cast has been turning heads with some striking footwear choices during their press tour. Both Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega channeled their on-screen characters with all-black, goth-inspired ensembles at the NYC photocall. Winona paired her look with chunky black boots, while Jenna elevated hers with Dolce and Gabbana platform sandal heels. The film is set to release on Sept. 6.
