In case you hadn't heard, Mickey Rourke is the FOCKIN' man once again. Fresh off his Golden Globe win and Academy Award nom for The Wrestler, dude is out and about. And judging by the above photo, taken in Paris this week, he's hanging with Britney Spears' stylist from 2002.

Like our man Taz Arnold, Mick wears what the FOCK he wants to wear and lets God sort out the rest. His latest look inspired us to take a look back at Mickey's style through the years...
