In an electrifying fusion of star power and sartorial genius, Thai actor Bible Wichapas Sumettikul commands attention as the cover star of ELLE MEN Thailand‘s June 2025 issue—draped head-to-toe in Saint Laurent’s Men’s Winter 2025 collection. The photoshoot is more than just fashion; it’s a statement, a mood, and a masterclass in modern elegance.
Unveiled across ELLE MEN’s digital and print platforms, the editorial sees Bible reimagine “Le Smoking”, the iconic tuxedo first introduced by Yves Saint Laurent in 1966. But this isn’t a revival—it’s a revolution.
Saint Laurent, Rewritten
Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello breathes new life into the brand’s DNA, presenting sharply tailored silhouettes, flowing black coats, and sultry fabrics that blur the lines between masculine structure and feminine fluidity. The collection channels the spirit of rebellion, with Vaccarello describing it as a vision of “seduction without constraint.”
Enter Bible—charismatic, poised, and unapologetically stylish. He slips into the persona with ease, embodying a new-age sophistication that feels both classic and dangerously current. Structured blazers graze his frame, while oversized outerwear adds a cinematic edge. It’s clear: this isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a fashion moment.
The Bible Effect
Known for his breakout roles and effortlessly cool persona, Bible Wichapas has become a cultural force in Thailand and beyond. His appearance in the Saint Laurent spread cements his status not just as a screen heartthrob, but as a serious player in global fashion.
Fans have flooded social media with praise, dubbing the collaboration #ELLEMENandBibleWichapas as “a match made in haute couture heaven.” And rightly so. Bible doesn’t just wear the clothes—he inhabits them, radiating a quiet defiance that mirrors the ethos of Saint Laurent itself.
More Than Just a Look
At its core, the editorial delivers a powerful message: fashion is freedom. Le Smoking was never just about tuxedos—it was about challenging norms. Nearly 60 years later, Bible and Saint Laurent are writing a bold new chapter in that story.
As the camera captures one striking look after another, it’s clear that this isn’t just a campaign. It’s a declaration. And Bible Wichapas? He’s not just wearing Saint Laurent—he’s living it.
