Karen Gillan’s ruffled white blouse and jet-black trousers brought a crisp, cinematic contrast to the Corner Bistro sidewalk—part uptown polish, part streetwise charm.
Karen Gillan knows how to make a sidewalk feel like a runway. At Veronica Beard’s Icons Party on September 9, 2025, the actress stepped out in New York City with a look that was equal parts editorial and effortless—proof that fashion’s sharpest moments often happen just outside the velvet rope.
Her outfit was a study in monochrome tension. The white blouse, with its sculptural ruffled sleeves and soft sheen, added volume and movement without veering into costume. It was the kind of top that catches light and holds attention—dramatic, yes, but grounded in tailoring. Paired with high-waisted black trousers, the silhouette felt elongated and intentional, a nod to classic menswear with a distinctly feminine twist.
Accessories were chosen with precision. Black high-heeled sandals added height and edge, while a structured black handbag offered architectural balance. The look was clean, but not sterile—every piece had a role, every texture a purpose.
This look fits seamlessly into the evolving language of celebrity street style , where the sidewalk becomes a stage and the outfit a quiet manifesto. It’s not about spectacle—it’s about precision, personality, and the kind of polish that doesn’t need a spotlight to shine.
Kelsey Merritt’s monochrome moment at FENDI’s Spy Bag revival was pure quiet luxury—beige-on-beige with a sculptural twist, and boots that whispered power.
When FENDI decides to resurrect an icon, the fashion world listens—and when Kelsey Merritt walks in wearing a look that feels like a love letter to the Spy Bag era, we take notes.
At the FENDI x Moda Operandi celebration in New York City on September 9, 2025, Merritt arrived in a head-to-toe beige ensemble that managed to be both nostalgic and forward-facing. Her textured trench coat—perforated, cinched at the waist, and cut with architectural precision—evoked the kind of early-2000s tailoring that defined the original Spy Bag moment, but with a modern, minimalist edge.
The boots? Tan, knee-high, and glossy enough to catch the candlelight from the wall sconces. They added height and polish, grounding the look in a kind of urban sophistication. A small tan handbag with a circular motif—likely a nod to the Spy Bag’s signature curves—rested effortlessly in her hand, completing the monochrome palette with quiet confidence.
In one image, Merritt stands poised on a staircase, the marbled wallpaper swirling behind her like a fashion fever dream. In another, she’s seated in a velvet-lined booth, her coat draped elegantly, the FENDI logo repeating in the window behind her like a mantra. The setting—a mix of old-school glamour and modern branding—mirrored the outfit’s tone: refined, but not rigid.
Her hair, worn long and sleek, framed her face with softness, while makeup leaned into warm neutrals—bronzed cheeks, a nude lip, and just enough eye definition to hold the camera’s gaze. The overall mood? Editorial, but intimate. Like she’d just stepped out of a campaign shoot and into a dinner party.
This look fits seamlessly into the current wave of celebrity fashion that favors tonal dressing and tactile layering. It’s not about shouting trends—it’s about whispering legacy. And Merritt, with her effortless poise and precision styling, made the Spy Bag’s return feel like more than a revival. It felt like a homecoming.
Fresh from her turn in Netflix’s new series “Wayward,” Alyvia Alyn Lind attends her premiere (and frankly, serves a gothic, doll-like drama) at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Alyvia Alyn Lind arrived on the red carpet in a striking, black babydoll-style dress that felt both innocent and deeply mysterious. The gown’s top is defined by a sheer black material with a dramatic velvet bow at the bust, which adds a tactile, almost whimsical dimension to the look. The dress’s silhouette is loose and flowing, a far cry from the body-con styles often seen at premieres, and features a sheer, layered skirt that trails slightly behind her. The fabric, a light organza or tulle, gives the piece an ethereal, almost floating quality.

Lind’s styling is a masterclass in mood-setting. Her blonde hair is styled in a tousled, slightly undone wave, perfectly complementing the soft, dreamlike quality of her dress. The makeup follows a similar romantic, slightly moody theme—a dark, smoky eye and a nude lip that emphasizes the gothic-lite aesthetic.
The only visible accessory is a pair of simple black open-toed shoes, which disappear beneath the hem of her dress, ensuring the focus remains squarely on the ethereal silhouette. The overall effect is a modern interpretation of a classic Goth-lite sensibility, proving that you can make a powerful statement without a restrictive fit.
