He donned the fashionable piece of outerwear over a black and white checked button-down, navy blue trousers, and black leather Chelsea boots.
Bradley accessorized with a grey beanie and brown aviator shades as his face featured his signature scruff.

The front of the monthly also folds out to reveal Jodie Comer, Lily Gladstone, Greta Lee, Charles Melton, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan.
Bradley gave rare public comments about six-year-old daughter Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper whom he shares with 38-year-old supermodel Irina Shayk.
As the A-lister had discussed Steven Spielberg, Leonard Bernstein, and former US President Harry Truman in the interview he was asked what he hopes his legacy would be.
Bradley responded: ‘I’ve never really thought about legacy because, in the end, everything turns to dust anyway. I’m always like, Well, legacy, sure—until it’s all gone, and then nothing matters. [Laughs]
‘That said, there’s something about having a child and knowing that once you’re gone, they’ll always have these pieces of work to revisit…. That’s something that I find pleasurable—that our daughter will always be able to have these moments with her father if she chooses to.’
First romantically linked together back in 2015, Bradley and Irina kept their relationship relatively under the radar for years.
Although the superstar pair have never disclosed when their relationship truly started, the couple were first spotted on a date at the Broadway production of Finding Neverland in April 2015.
The Star is Born leading man was fresh off of a relationship with Suki Waterhouse, while the raven-haired statuesque beauty had just ended things with Cristiano Ronaldo.

They made their relationship Met Gala official in 2016, posing together on the famous Met steps.
That same year, the Hercules star confirmed that she was pregnant with Bradley’s child, walking in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show the day the baby news broke.
Lea was born on March 21, 2017 — however, the Hangover star still had yet to propose to his Sports Illustrated cover model girlfriend.
After the couple continued to spark engagement rumors for the next two years, fans were shocked when they announced in 2019 that they had split.
However, the pair continued to amicably co-parent Lea together after they ended their relationship.
Despite their 2019 breakup (which Irina reportedly initiated), the co-parents continued to stoke rumors of reconciliation over the years since.
Irina herself posted pictures of the pair vacationing together in 2021 on her Instagram page.

Bradley recently received an Oscar nomination in the Best Actor category for his portrayal of the aforementioned American conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein in Maestro.
He talked about his love for New York City and how their love for the Big Apple showcases many similarities between the two of them.
The talented actor told Vanity Fair: ‘My relationship to New York is [similar] to Lenny’s in so many ways. He went to Harvard, and then he went to [the Curtis Institute of Music] in Philadelphia, and then he was living at Aaron Copland’s, and then he got a job as an assistant to Artur Rodzinski at the New York Philharmonic and moved into the top of Carnegie Hall.
‘And it felt like New York breathed life into him, and he found a group of people and he was able to explore musical theater, and he was just, as a 24-year-old, on fire there.
‘And I too felt like that [after] growing up in Philadelphia and leaving Georgetown and not really ever feeling like I was in an environment with like-minded people that could talk about movies for endless amounts of hours without feeling like time had passed.’

He said that he found a lot of inspiration in the city including seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman at the LAByrinth Theater and comedy legends Amy Poehler and Matt Besser and Matt Walsh at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
Bradley explained: ‘And it just felt like New York has always been a character in my life. And now I live there. I wanted New York to serve as that character for Lenny, for better and for worse. Then they move out of there into Fairfield to create this nuclear utopic home with all its own realities.
‘It just felt like we could establish New York, and then how New York could turn as one ages and starts to maybe evolve in certain ways and become blinded by their own behavior. All of those things felt like we could put them up against this back lot of this city, which is a breathing character.
‘It always has been for me and for so many people. I mean, I remember when I moved to New York—you only have to live there for about six months before you start calling yourself a New Yorker. I’ve never been to a city where so many people start saying they’re New Yorkers so quickly.’
