A man was denied entry to a restaurant during an outing with his fiancee after the doorman claimed his outfit was inappropriate.
Canadian DJ Andrew Fedyk, one half of the electronic music duo Loud Luxury, found himself at the center of controversy during a recent outing in Miami with his influencer partner, Madeleine White, this week.
White shared the hilarious moment with her 4.8 million followers, explaining that her fiance was rejected for wearing a shirt featuring a niche reference to a Brad Pitt meme.
The shirt in question features the phrase “Need Money for Porsche,” a nod to a famous image of Brad Pitt sporting a similar tee.
However, it remains unclear whether Pitt actually wore the shirt or if it was a marketing tactic by fashion companies to superimpose it onto celebrities.
Photos of Ashton Kutcher and Robert Downey Jr. wearing it have also circulated online for years.
While it’s often used as a meme and commentary on celebrity wealth, it appears the restaurant staff didn’t get the joke, mistaking Fedyk’s shirt for a genuine plea.
“So we just got rejected from our dinner reservation in Miami because of what Andrew’s wearing, and I just have to show you,” she narrated in the video while standing on the footpath outside the venue.
“I don’t think they get your reference,” she laughed. “They think he’s actually begging people for money”.
She claimed it was the first time they’ve ever been rejected from a dinner reservation.
“What do you know about Brad Pitt?” Fedyk joked, staring down the camera.
Despite the initial setback, he reportedly turned the shirt inside out, allowing the couple to enter the restaurant and enjoy their evening.
It’s not the first time the muso has worn a provocative shirt.
On his Instagram, where he has nearly 50k followers, he’s seen posing with tops saying things like “Forget milk, got beer?” at Disneyland and “Banned from Erewhon” – an expensive LA grocery store.
Commenters weighed in on the situation, with one saying it was “ICONIC”.
“This makes it 10 times better that he’s Loud Luxury,” said another.
However, others suggested he wasn’t kicked out for the slogan, but rather his casual outfit.
“No, they don’t think he’s begging for money,” stated one. “It’s just a ridiculous thing to wear to dinner”.
“Poor outfit,” said another. “Have some standards”.
“It’s probably not what the shirt says – a lot of restaurants in Miami don’t let guys wear T-shirts,” pointed out another.
“Being engaged to a fashion influencer, he should know better,” a third wrote.
White he eventually responded, admitting, “I think we underestimated the Miami vibes”.
Many upscale restaurants in Miami are notorious for having strict dress codes.
They often require diners to adhere to a smart casual or formal dress code, which typically means no casual clothing like thongs, tank tops, or graphic T-shirts.
One popular restaurant, Mila, located on Miami Beach, is known for having strict conditions of entry, which, according to its website, are intended to “provide a sophisticated experience for all”.
“For dinner service, we ask that guests avoid shorts, caps, sportswear, beachwear, flip-flops, visibly revealing clothing, slides, and celebratory accessories such as crowns or veils,” it reads.
“Gentlemen, we ask you to refrain from wearing T-shirts, sleeveless shirts, shorts, open-toed shoes, and excessively bold jewelry. Long jeans are permitted when worn smartly with closed-toe shoes and a collared shirt. This dress code extends to children as well.”
Many commenters speculated that this incident occurred at Mila, although this has not been confirmed.
