Rodeo Drive, located near Beverly Hills, is Los Angeles' most famous fashion hub.This street, stretching from The Beverly Hills Hotel in the south to the Four Seasons Hotel in the north, is packed with over a hundred luxury boutiques within just three blocks.Cobblestone streets, fountains catching the sunlight, bistros exuding the charm of days gone by, and unique boutiques with a distinct European flair create one of the most unique landscapes in the City of Angels.Starting from Constellation Boulevard, it was only a mile to reach Rodeo Drive, a five-minute drive.Joseph quickly brought Hugo to this trendy district.Looking at the dense rows of luxury brand stores on both sides—Armani, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Louis Vuitton—one felt dazzled and had no idea where to start.Neither Hugo nor Joseph had much concept of shopping.After getting out of the parking lot, the two just stood on the street, not moving an inch.Hugo was carefully examining the luxuriously decorated brand stores on both sides of the street.The magnificent decor was intimidating; Hugo knew a single shirt inside could cost hundreds of dollars.Such prices were impossible for him to afford given his circumstances before transmigrating.Therefore, Hugo always advocated that wearing clothes wasn't about price or brand, but about personal style—putting together an outfit that was uniquely one's own, and presenting it with confidence; that was the true definition of fashion.Simply chasing brand names or blindly following fashion trends wasn't necessarily suitable for everyone."Armani, how about it?" Joseph hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Hollywood always says, 'If you don't know what to wear, choose Armani.' Why don't we give it a try?"Hugo couldn't help but laugh."That's just a form of advertising. You actually fell for it?"Hugo never believed in such advertisements.There were even people who said, "Everyone must own a Louis Vuitton in their lifetime, otherwise, life is incomplete."Hugo scoffed at this even more.If a person's life needed to be completed by a handbag or a piece of clothing, then that person's life really lacked substance.However, Armani suits weren't overly bold, yet they didn't lack innovation, making them a suitable choice for most men.Furthermore, this was the early nineties; the development of menswear lagged far behind womenswear.It wasn't like the twenty-first century, where menswear was diverse and dazzling, so choosing Armani was indeed a good starting point."Let's go in and take a look then."Hugo didn't have any better ideas.Looking at these dazzling luxury fashion boutiques, he didn't know what to choose, so starting with Armani was a good idea.Hugo and Joseph didn't hesitate any longer and pushed open the glass door, walking into the store.Just as they stepped inside, a clerk greeted them with a smile: "Good afternoon, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"Hugo's gaze swept across the orderly racks of clothes before him.The countless garments were dazzling, and finding a suitable outfit wasn't an easy task.Joseph was more experienced; he spoke up directly, "We need a suit for a formal occasion, but nothing too serious."The clerk understood immediately.This was Hollywood; she had clearly hosted countless artists.She asked with a smile, "Is it for a premiere?"As she asked, her gaze subtly sized up Hugo, who was standing to the side.It had to be said that the compelling charm Hugo exuded was truly eye-catching, making it hard for anyone to look away.Today, he was simply wearing a white T-shirt paired with black straight-leg jeans, finished with a pair of white sneakers.For his jacket, he had chosen a smoke-gray style.It was simple, generous, clean, and sharp, yet it didn't lose that youthful vitality, perfectly highlighting the sunny, warm aura Hugo carried.It took the clerk only a few seconds to recognize that the person in front of her was Hugo Lancaster, who had been quite active recently due to the Golden Raspberry Awards.To be honest, although Hugo had appeared in excellent works like "dead poets society" and major productions like "fatal moment" and "hudson hawk," none of them could be considered his signature role.What truly made Hugo famous in Hollywood was the Golden Raspberry Awards.After identifying Hugo, the clerk naturally had her own calculations in mind.At the same time, Joseph replied, "A premiere."This made the clerk nod with a smile."Please, follow me."She then led the way, her tone polite and appropriate—neither overly sycophantic nor disdainful.Hugo had heard before that clerks in these luxury stores could be snobbish, sometimes even preventing plainly dressed customers from touching the clothes, citing "you can't afford it" as an excuse.Such occurrences in the service industry were truly appalling, but that was the harsh reality.However, the clerk's performance today was quite satisfactory.Actually, both Hugo and Joseph were dressed very casually; Joseph was also just wearing a shirt and jeans, looking quite poor.But perhaps because the clerk recognized Hugo, her eyes and expression didn't show much difference.The Armani store was quite spacious.The clerk led Hugo and Joseph through the main hall and turned into a side area, which was a world of its own.Then, the clerk stood in front of a row of racks and pointed to the two rows of clothing around them."These are all new arrivals for this spring. Formal yet not too serious, casual yet without losing quality."The clerk quietly observed Hugo to gauge his preferences while continuing to explain, "This spring's design mainly focuses on using tailoring to embody the beauty and strength of the human body.""Simple lines paired with delicate textures—it lacks the boredom of ordinary formal suits and adds a touch of youthful rebellion."After grasping the focus of Hugo's gaze, the clerk walked to the side of the rack and reached out to take out two suits."I see Mr. Lancaster is tall with long legs and has an outstanding, sunny temperament; he can pull off any color.""However, this black one and this gray one are more suitable for a premiere—dignified yet not lacking in luxury."The clerk hung these two suits on a nearby rack, fully displaying the overall feel of the garments for Hugo and Joseph, allowing them to examine the detailed designs more closely.Joseph looked back at Hugo's figure and couldn't help but nod.Hugo was a standard clothes hanger; any clothing would have a special flair on him.There would definitely be no problem with Hugo wearing these two suits."Try the black one?"Joseph felt the gray one seemed a bit too dark and looked more mature, so that wouldn't be very appropriate.At the premiere of "the last analysis," Richard was responsible for the mature and steady charm.Naturally, Hugo couldn't repeat that route; otherwise, attending the premiere would be meaningless.It wasn't just actresses who compared themselves to one another; the infighting among Actors was actually quite prevalent.It was just that because most Actors' choices were limited to suits, it wasn't as dazzling as the actresses' variety.Therefore, Hugo definitely couldn't clash head-on with Richard at the premiere.Trying to compete with Richard in mature charm was essentially seeking his own doom.Hugo knew that most clothes didn't look like much until you actually put them on to see the effect, so he didn't refuse.He took the clothes and went into the changing room.Before going in, the clerk handed Hugo a white shirt.Only then did Hugo realize he had been muddled again—he had only grabbed the suit and forgotten the shirt.How embarrassing.Amidst the playful glint in the clerk's eyes and Joseph's helpless expression, Hugo walked into the changing room with the suit.Soon, Hugo changed and walked out, still muttering, "Is this size right? Why do I feel it's a bit too big?"But his question received no response.Only then did he realize that the entire space had fallen completely silent.Actually, when they had first walked in, there were several customers in the store, and a few clerks were whispering, but now all those sounds had vanished.Hugo looked up and saw everyone staring at him with their mouths slightly agape.This dazed expression made Hugo feel like something out of a comic book, making him want to laugh.The Hugo standing before them was wearing a crisp black suit.His broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, sturdy physique was clearly defined under the fabric.Although the slightly loose cut of the suit wasn't like the form-fitting designs of the twenty-first century, one could still clearly see how Hugo's physique fit perfectly with the garment's design, presenting a man's elegance in a way full of youthful vigor.The brilliant smile on his face made the whole world light up.Everyone inside the Armani store was instantly stunned, shocked into place by the wave of charm coming their way.They were dumbfounded, and no one could react in the first instance.They say clothes make the man; Hugo, who already had innate advantages, looked even more lethal when paired with a suitable outfit.His handsome, deep features were permeated with a sunny aura.Just one look was enough to make people lose the ability to speak.Finally, Joseph was the first to recover.He coughed lightly, "No, I think this outfit is very good. Very good."Joseph specifically added a sentence to emphasize his inner feelings.Immediately after, the clerk who had been assisting Hugo also came to her senses.She hurriedly walked in front of Hugo, walked a small half-circle to examine the effect of the suit on him, and checked to see if there were any parts that needed improvement."The design of this piece isn't too heavy, and the small lapel with two buttons is also very youthful, which fits your temperament perfectly.""Is that so?"Hugo tugged at his collar, buttoned the suit jacket, and walked over to the full-length mirror to observe the overall effect of the outfit."Why do I feel like I've put a bucket on myself?"This...
