Ciara wore a shearling moto jacket with a furry leather micro skirt and lace-up boots to The One Party by Uber in San Francisco 2026.
At this point, Ciara doesn’t show up to an event appearance — she stomps into it. At The One Party by Uber in San Francisco, she pulled together a look that felt like a fusion of ski lodge drama and backstage pass energy.
The anchor piece? An oversized shearling and leather jacket — brown body, bleach-white texture exploding from the sleeves and collar, dyed black around the shoulders like it got hit with smoke. Drama jacket. Can’t ignore it.
Underneath, a black bodysuit or tank , low-cut and fitted, nothing trying to compete with the outerwear. All that volume needed balance. Then came the patchwork leather mini skirt , glossy, paneled, embellished with a cutout varsity-style “Y” applique and fur trim near the hem. Raw-edge lace peeking out underneath softens it—but not too much.
The belt literally just says “SEKS” in silver metal. Not subtle. She knew that. That’s why it’s there.
Lace-up black platform heels finished it. High enough to hurt, sharp enough to say “don’t test me.” Hair parted down the middle, high-shine, pin-straight. A simple cross necklace and some icy rings sealed it off.
This kind of celebrity event look works because it’s not polished for the sake of polish. It’s pushed around the edges, just like a party this chaotic should be. No cohesion required. In fact, it hits harder when you know it wasn’t chasing harmony.
One word? Unbothered.
We’re still deep into the leather-fur hybrid styling wave—especially when mixed with logos, absurdity, and fake sports references. It’s less “fashion-forward” and more “fashion-fever dream.” In the best way.
Would you ever wear a belt that just says “SEKS,” or is that a step too ironic?
Emily Bader wore a sheer beaded champagne gown with metallic sandals to the 78th Annual Directors Guild Awards in 2026.
If you ask me, the “naked dress” concept is usually a gamble that rarely pays off, but Emily Bader just showed us how to navigate that territory without looking like a fashion victim. Stepping out for the 78th Annual Directors Guild Awards , she went for something that feels less like a costume and more like a mood. It’s ethereal, sure, but there’s a weight to it that keeps the look grounded.
The centerpiece here is obviously the gown itself. It’s a sheer tulle number dripping with vertical rows of bugle beads and sequins. I love how the embellishment gets denser at the bodice and scatters out toward the hem—it’s a smart visual trick that elongates the frame immediately. The scoop neckline feels open and breezy, hanging from delicate spaghetti straps that keep the top half from looking too busy. The color is a tricky champagne-gold that could easily wash someone out, but on her, it just adds warmth.
Now, let’s talk about what’s happening underneath. Because the skirt is semi-transparent, you get a clear view of the footwear choice, and frankly, I’m glad she didn’t overthink it. She paired the dress with metallic gold platform sandals , keeping the monochromatic theme intact. It’s cohesive. Accessorizing was kept strictly minimal with a classic diamond tennis necklace sitting right at the collarbone. Anything longer would have competed with the neckline, and earrings would have been lost in that loose, center-parted hair anyway.
Here’s why this works for a celebrity red carpet moment like the DGA: it’s glamorous without being stiff. The vertical beading does all the heavy lifting for the silhouette, meaning the dress doesn’t need tight corsetry to give her shape. It looks comfortable—like she could actually sit through a three-hour ceremony without gasping for air. It’s the kind of effortless evening wear that looks expensive because of the texture, not the volume.
Claudia Jordan wore a tailored black pantsuit with a gold chain necklace and striped clutch at the 57th NAACP Image Awards Brunch.
There’s something quietly confident about showing up to an award-season brunch in a black suit — and Claudia Jordan clearly got the memo. At the 57th NAACP Image Awards Nominees Brunch in Los Angeles, she opted for structure rather than shimmer, and it works.
The look is all clean tailoring: a fitted blazer fastened with a single gold button, layered over a matching straight-cut top and slim trousers that flare lightly at the hem. The tailored lines hold firm without feeling rigid — it’s a suit with ease. The gold statement necklace loops elegantly across her neckline, adding polish and a bit of personality.
A black-and-white striped clutch gives the outfit rhythm — bold enough to catch the eye, but still classic. Open-toe heels finish it off with a grounded kind of polish. I think this is the kind of outfit that reminds people that simplicity isn’t the absence of style. It’s the control of it.
Now, if you’ve got a semi-formal event appearance in your future — charity brunch, press panel, or even a brand launch — this formula works. Monochrome base, one accent detail, confident tailoring. It’s wearable in the real world and photograph-ready without fuss.
To me, this is what modern red-carpet calm looks like — no need to shout when the fit already says everything.
