When you are the lead singer of one of the biggest rock and roll bands in the history of the universe, you can kinda do whatever the fuck you want. When you are the lead singer of one of the biggest rock bands in the history of the universe and you’re 81 years old, you can really do whatever the fuck you want.

For Mick Jagger last night, that involved showing up at the Oscars wearing a slim black suit, a white dress shirt sans tie, and…his most sensible pair of running shoes. Or trainers as he might call them.
