Emile Hirsch, star of Into the Wild and Speed Racer, is spending some time in Paris, France these days … clearly doing his best to channel his inner Oscar Wilde. Here are a couple pics of the dandy-looking Emile with a female friend as they made their way thru Place Vendome on Friday:

Now, I’m not sure if Emile is trying to “get into character” or if he’s just a really misguided dresser but this is not a good look for him. To tell the truth, I don’t even think Oscar Wilde could pull it off properly. Thank Gawd Emile opted out of wearing the matching satin cape cuz then, well, he would have to be killed. I suppose he deserves snaps for taking such a bold fashion risk. I think he missed the mark completely but good on him for giving it a go.
