Signs someone is dating someone cooler and/or younger than them? Go.
Ooh, I would say, in this order: new haircut, new slang, new coffee order, sudden interest in techno raves and/or veganism.
Yuck! All so very cringe. What about a new wardrobe?
Oh, of course. A definite marker ― and often the worst offender. Put down the bucket hat, Simon.
Someone tell that to Bradley Cooper.
I would love to tell anything to Bradley Cooper. Where can I find him?
On the arm of his girlfriend, the supermodel and all-round It girl Gigi Hadid.
Of course. And she is how many years his junior?
Just the two decades. Ish.
I suppose in Hollywood years that is just about normal.

It’s important to remember that famous people can only date each other. The pool is small. Frankly, it’s not the age gap that is jumping out from recent pictures of the pair together. It’s the fashion choices. Namely his. Soz, Bradley.
That sounds damning. In his defence, he could pull off pretty much anything.
It’s not so much that Cooper looks bad.
Impossible.
He just looks noticeably more Fashion (note the capital F).
What does that mean?
It means he’s really trying to look cool. He has stepped out wearing conspicuously culty sneakers (including some yellow Adidas Sambas that Hadid designed in collaboration with the sportswear label), cargo pants, bomber jackets and hoodies and, to the Baftas, some quite odd flared trousers.
Let the man live. He’s having fun.
That or a midlife crisis.
He’s nominated for an Oscar, dating a hot young supermodel and still has a full head of hair. I think he’s doing OK.
