The actor, who also shared images of his look to Instagram, donned a straw cowboy hat, a glittery gold unbuttoned Western-style shirt, red sweatpants, and accessorized with a toy tiger.
Leto, who's known for his quirky style, even praised Exotic's fashion choices during his live-tweeting.
He firstly thanked the 57-year-old for "keeping fringe alive" — a reference to Exotic's array of fringed jackets — and then joked about his two-tone blonde mullet: "I'm not gonna lie I'm into that hair."
The actor also shared a side-by-side image of himself next to Exotic's arch-enemy Carole Baskin, writing: "I swear to god I wore this on tour."

Aside from showing his love for the show's fashion choices, the musician also confessed he was a fan of Exotic's country music.
In one tweet he shared a link to Exotic's song "I Saw A Tiger" and wrote: "How does this only have 350k views??? For your quarantine pleasure."
He even tagged Billie Eilish's brother and producer Finneas O'Connell in a separate tweet and asked him whether they should cover his song.
