Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the planet’s most consistently attractive humans and for decades scientists have been fruitlessly pondering how to make him look bad.
And now, finally, after all this time, we have an answer thanks to the Time 100 red carpet. And that answer is “velour”.

So many questions are going through our heads right now. Is he powered by static electricity? Is this his new fashion line “Key Party Chic”? Is he cosplaying as legendary astrophysicist and science populariser Carl Sagan?
That’s our theory, at least.
Goddamn, Carl, I still miss you every day.
Ultimately we’re not sure why the Rock would want to look like a 70s couch, but we are never going to criticise the fashion choices of a man who clearly could throw us through a wall if he felt like it.
That, or he’s attempting to be this shoe. And frankly, we’re also OK with that.
It’s a strong look.
