The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Embraced Drama—Both Low-Key and High-Key

Now that Fashion Month has officially concluded, you might think that all of the celebrities filling the front rows would be tired of flexing statement look after statement look—but this week, the red carpets and public appearances carried on, with tons of new striking outfits soldiering on. The best dressed stars of the week continued the spirit we saw at the shows in New York and Europe, embracing a sense of drama that ranged from low-key (think: subtle suiting) to high-key (think: modern evening gowns with tons of shimmering sequins).

The more stealthily chic looks of the week included Cate Blanchett, who stepped out in New York wearing a brand new Tom Ford look. The pale pink suit, paired with an electric green bowed blouse, was color-blocking done right. At the premiere of The Actor in New York, actor Gemma Chan also slipped into a sleek Khaite suit that featured a cropped tuxedo jacket. Both looks proved that with a slight update like, say, a sheer top or an unexpected color combo, suiting up can feel entirely fresh.

There were also bolder style wins on the step and repeats. At SXSW, Daisy Edgar-Jones slipped into a green sequin and sheer design that was fresh off the runway by Gucci; Ruth Negga also embraced gold sequins in Prada, at the premiere of Number One on the Call Sheet in Hollywood. While shimmer is never out in Hollywood, their contemporary silhouettes—like Negga’s crop top and low-backed skirt pairing—made for a new and unexpected take on disco ball dressing.
