The world knows George Clooney as a swoon-worthy ladies man, but now, thanks to the W January 2014 issue, they also know that he can pull off polka-dots. Emma Summerton captures the charming Mr. Clooney in a polka-dotted ensemble chosen by Michael Kucmeroski, which matches the impressive set design by Thomas Thurnauer. The end result is reverse Cruella-Devil inspired look, although Clooney seems much friendlier than the iconic villain. Thankfully, no puppies were harmed in the making of this theatrical, optical-illusion style spread and matching suit.
