One of the hot new stars of Hollywood has had some very ‘racy’ photographs dug up from his past.
Jacob Elordi is better-known these days for his roles as Noah Flynn in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth or Nate Jacobs in the HBO franchise Euphoria.
Ten years ago, it seems, Elordi’s claim to fame was the senior men’s winner of Fashions on the Field at Flemington Racecourse’s Emirates Stakes Day… and his outfit is a nightmare of nostalgia.
Instagram gossip account/super sleuth @celeb_spellcheck uncovered the truly riveting photographs and shared them for the world to see:
“Neight Jacobs,” they added, alongside a racing horse emoji.
“How do you find this shit!!!!” Big Brother Australia star Tully Smyth asked, echoing what all of us are feeling at this point in time.
The irony is, Elordi was named “one of the most stylish men around” by GQ just this year.

“Even in his Kissing Booth days Elordi showed more fashion sense than many 20-year-olds, regularly pairing staples like Dickies 874s with some Chuck Taylors,” the mag wrote in January 2022.
“Elordi has started to show a flair for baggy silhouettes, silk scarves and ’70s-era suiting,” they added. “It’s elevated his style above the standard casual fare that you see on most trendy 24-year-olds for sure.”
Man of Many doubled down on the sentiment in May, giving readers a guide on how to dress like the Australian actor.
To be fair, Brisbane-born Elordi was 15-years-old at the time the cursed photographs were taken.
Decked out in a bow tie, check blazer and matching fedora hat with ubiquitous red winner’s sash, the photos ooze “Year 10 Formal” energy, with not a hint of “future Hollywood style icon” to be seen.
Fashions on the Field is still a popular competition at horse racing events like next months’ Melbourne Cup.
