Talk about making a stylish entrance.

A man who unexpectedly appeared in a photograph taken outside the Louvre in Paris—amid the ongoing investigation into a daring crown jewels theft—has become a sensation online.

This intriguing figure, clad in a three-piece suit featuring a dark jacket, a gold vest, and accessorized with a fedora and an umbrella-turned-cane, has captivated social media. Users have been quick to draw parallels between him and the likes of Inspector Clouseau from the “Pink Panther” series, as well as Agatha Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot.

Many observers speculated that the debonair individual could be the lead investigator on the case, while others whimsically pondered whether his sophisticated appearance might actually belong to a suave thief involved in the heist.

One X user wrote of the photo, “Actual shot (not AI!) of a French detective working the case of the French Crown Jewels that were stolen from the Louvre.”

Another claimed the man, “who looks like he came out of a detective film noir from the 1940s is an actual French police detective who’s investigating the theft.”

A third wrote, “The detective working the Louvre Jewel heist is the guy in the fedora. Do the French do everything better.” 

But The Associated Press photographer who snapped the curious shot last Sunday claimed he had no reason to believe the man had anything to do with the Louvre investigation, that he was just someone who stepped into the frame.

The photographer, Thibault Camus, told his outlet he believed the man added a bit of Parisian je ne sais quoi — “I don’t know what” — to his photos.

“He appeared in front of me, I saw him, I took the photo,” Camus said. “He passed by and left.”

Parisian authorities also decided to add a little French intrigue to the mystery when asked by the AP if they could identify the man.

“We’d rather keep the mystery alive ;)” the Paris prosecutor’s office answered.

Last Sunday morning, four masked criminals stole several priceless pieces from the Louvre’s crown jewels collection after breaking into a gallery soon after the museum opened.

The thieves fled on scooters and have yet to be caught.
