Ryan Reynolds [1] accessorized with sentimental jewelry for his "Jimmy Kimmel Live" appearance [2] on Aug. 9. The "Deadpool" actor proudly wore beaded bracelets made by his daughters [3] as he and guest host Rob McElhenney discussed Wrexham AFC, the Welsh soccer team they own together. He piled on several handmade creations with his Apple Watch: one with sparkly green and clear beads that spell out "DAD," one with pink smiley-face beads, and one with a rainbow assortment. The colorful stack popped against his outfit, consisting of otherwise muted tones in the form of a gray suit, white button-down, and black tie.
Reynolds has been spotted wearing the same bracelets for several other outings this summer, including Wrexham soccer games, a Cannes Lions event, and the premiere of Taylor Swift [4]'s "All Too Well: The Short Film." Beyond being a sweet way to keep his kids close amid a busy schedule, Reynolds's accessories also play into the "kidcore" fashion aesthetic [5], characterized by bold colors, fun prints, and nostalgic jewelry.
Reynolds shares three daughters with wife Blake Lively [6] — 7-year-old James, 5-year-old Inez, and 2-year-old Betty — and the beaded bracelets are likely the result of an afternoon DIY [7] project at home. Perhaps they made one for Lively that reads "MOM" to match?
Seeing as Reynolds's wardrobe mostly consists of neutrals (think: navy jackets, gray pinstripe suits [8], and white tees), the pop of color from his bracelets is a welcome style switch-up for the star, whether he's on or off duty.
