“Euphoria” Star Alexa Demie Channeled “My Hero Academia”‘s Best Jeanist at Balenciaga’s Resort 2023 Show — See Photos

We all know that way beyond Euphoria, Alexa Demie has the gift of trendsetting. Her cool-girl style regularly consists of monochrome, baby tees, baggie pants, and shades. On May 22, the star was spotted at Balenciaga’s Resort 2023 show in New York City, cementing her cool, throwback style with some unexpected anime vibes.

If you are a fan of My Hero Academia, you probably know the stylish superhero Best Jeanist. To those that don’t, here’s a quick summary: Tsunagu Hakamada (aka Best Jeanist) is part of the Japanese superhero manga and anime series. One of the top in the top superheroes in Kōhei Horikoshi’s fictional world, Best Jeanist’s quirk allows him to control and manipulate the fibers in clothing, hence why his preferred uniform is denim on denim on denim. (The 100% fabric is the best for his quirk!)

If you have read the manga or seen the anime series, you’d know Best Jeanist’s guise is unmissable — and perhaps the most notable detail is the belted denim dress shirt that covers his face, which almost makes it look like his pants extend all the way up.

Well, in true Best Jeanist fashion, and probably serendipitously, Alexa attended Balenciaga’s Resort 2023 show rocking an outfit fit for the superhero. The Euphoria star opted for a denim off-the-shoulder top tucked into matching baggy belted denim jeans with slicked back hair and shades.
