People on social media have already compared the Gucci outfit, a jacket the color of a Shamrock Shake and powder pink trousers, to Maybelline’s Great Lash mascara (because of the pink pants), Willy Wonka (because Jared Leto might be a modern day Willy), your basic watermelon, a cooler watermelon filled with guacamole and the gatekeeper at the Emerald City in _The Wizard of Oz_. > [](https://twitter.com/katrinaeolsen/status/761182994132561920) > [](https://twitter.com/gabebergado/status/760943860453404672) > [](https://twitter.com/citrase7en/status/760988452854771712) > [](https://twitter.com/isabelreubin/status/761095904711421952) But people are even more excited by the look of ecstasy in the [_Suicide Squad_](http://time.com/4427272/a-brief-history-of-things-modern-neanderthal-jared-leto-has-done-to-get-in-character/) star’s eyes when he first saw the coat at a Gucci runway show, in a thrilling photo from the show that [BuzzFeed unearthed](https://www.instagram.com/p/BG4hpe8Abo3/). Everyone else seems just as invigorated as Leto about the bright green affair, and people are even jealous of the jacket’s ability to inspire such unbridled joy. _Suicide Squad_ opens August 5th. > [](https://twitter.com/alplicable/status/760920750773637120) > [](https://twitter.com/brielaarson/status/761101850032508930) \[h/t [BuzzFeed](https://www.buzzfeed.com/tolanishoneye/jared-leto-wore-a-green-jacket-and-everyone-lost-their-damn?utm%5Fterm=.odz4mk2w7#.qjaNnQ9vl)\] UPDATE: Later on Thursday, Jared Leto told [_Vanity Fair_](http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/08/jared-leto-gucci-truth) that at the moment the photo of him at the Gucci show was taken, he was reacting to seeing a friend, not the jacket.
