John Travolta opened up about why he’s been sporting a specific look during the Cannes Film Festival.

“The old school directors wore berets and the glasses and I thought, ‘That’s what I’m doing,” Travolta, 72, explained while chatting with CNN on Monday, May 18, about his accessories at the star-studded event.

“I’ve been around for over 50 years doing movies but I can’t tell when I look back the difference between the events,” Travolta added. “And I said, I’m a director this time. You’re an actor, play the part of a director. Look like an old school director.”

The Grease star went on to say that he researched photos of directors in the “20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s,” and wanted to “do an homage to being a director,” he said. Travolta added, “So I’m gonna play the part of being a director and then when I look back, I’ll know, ‘Oh that was Propeller One-Way Night Coach, that was Cannes, that’s when I won the Pale d’Or. I will have vividness of it.”

Travolta debuted his first beret and pair of eyeglasses on Friday, May 15, during the Karma premiere. He wore a white cap and thin gold-rimmed glasses. The Cash Out actor styled his look with a white dress shirt and matching tie, a black vest, a blazer and pants. He completed his ensemble with leather shoes and a white pocket square.

He wore another beret the following day, during the Propeller One-Way Night Coach photocall on Saturday, May 16. He rocked a black version of the soft cap, which he matched with dark-rimmed circular glasses. He also wore a black suede top with buttons lining his chest and white stitching. He paired the piece with charcoal jeans and leather Chelsea boots.
