Rom-Coms
Matthew McConaughey Recreates ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ Poster With Wife Camila Alves
Ready to lose your pants?
It’s been 21 years since the release of one of the greatest rom-coms of all time, but it feels like just yesterday we were hearing Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey croon “You’re so vain.” Well, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is back, baby! Kind of. This time, Matthew is teaming up with his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey, to bring us delicious cocktails to slurp as we watch our favorite film for the hundredth time.
Titled “How to Lose Your Pants in 10 Ways,” the married duo recreated the film’s signature poster to promote the latest release from their brand Pantalones Organic Tequila’s “Official Tequila Of” campaign. Camila is channeling Andie’s loose updo and signature yellow silk dress (and rocking it) while Matthew is, erm…pantsless. But be reassured (or very disappointed) because his “Krull the Warrior King” is not on display, thanks to some tactful blurring.

Accompanying the poster are ten specialty cocktails that pay homage to the film. For example, we’ve got our “You’re So Vain,” complete with matcha, lime juice, and a serving of “and other girls dream that they’d be Ben’s partner.” Or if you’re a fan of cherry cola, then you’ll be drooling for “Benny Boo Boo” — the cocktail, not the man, of course. Personally, I’ve got a craving for a “Princess Sophia Paloma” that only Matthew could fix. There’s also “Frost Yourself,” “Love Fern,” “Yellow Dress,” “Rom-Com Rita,” and more. The premium tequila is priced between $39.99-49.99 and recently became available nationwide.
As for the couple behind the drinks, Camila and Matthew have been married for 12 years and share three children: Levi, Vida, and Livingston. Camila is a Brazilian-American model and designer, and the pair first met in 2006 — she must have seen him in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Matthew has taken quite the leap since his rom-com days, most recently appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
On their website, Matthew and Camila acknowledge that “the world doesn’t need another celebrity Tequila. But goodness gracious the Tequila industry sure could use a shot of fun.” Obviously, they’re not calling out any other celebs with this.
Pantalones truly seems like a passion project, as it’s actually part of the couple’s origin story! The duo met for the first time during a night out at a club in Los Angeles. “I was holding court at the head of the table at the Hyde Club on Sunset Boulevard, hand-making the best margaritas on the planet when I saw her,” Matthew shares on the Pantalones site. “Almost two decades later, she’s still the only woman I’ve ever wanted to make a margarita for. And that, my friends, is how it all started – with a twist of tequila fate.”
If I can’t have the man, I’ll have the margarita, thanks.
