Nicholson, known for his iconic roles in films like “The Shining” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” has seldom been seen in public in recent years, making this appearance particularly noteworthy.
Dressed in a dark Giorgio Armani suit, Nicholson added a personal touch with a navy wool beret featuring the New York Yankees logo and purple-tinted sunglasses by Jacques Marie Mage. This ensemble not only highlighted his enduring sense of style but also paid homage to his long-standing fashion choices; Nicholson has been known to sport berets since at least the 1975 Academy Awards. citeturn0news10
