Casablancas, who is the son of modeling agent John Casablancas and 1965 Miss Sweden Jeanette Christiansen, showed off a retro style at the concert, wearing an open puffy wind-jacket and a graphic tee. The singer also accessorized with large rings on his right hand and styled his hair in a bowl-cut mullet.
