The standout high-fashion look sees the actress draped in a fluid, scarlet dress with a sleek silhouette and a high neckline that flows into long sleeves. It’s a statement of singular, undeniable authority.

The editorial’s embedded text points to her work on the film The Life of Chuck , suggesting a stylistic evolution that matches her career trajectory.

In her latest off-duty look, Lily James perfects casual chic with an ensemble that feels both polished and completely effortless for a city stroll.

When it comes to New York City street style, the ultimate outfit is a masterclass in elegant practicality. And who better to teach it than Lily James, who was recently spotted navigating the city’s sidewalks with an air of sophisticated purpose. Her effortless style embodies the quintessential urban uniform: a longline camel coat that commands attention while offering a perfect layer of warmth. Underneath, a monochromatic foundation of black separates—simple, smart, and utterly timeless.

The true genius of the look, however, lies in its foundation. On her feet are the Christian Louboutin Cl Moc Lug Leather Loafers , a footwear choice that merges classic loafer silhouettes with the utilitarian grit of a lug sole. It’s a bold statement—combining the polished formality of Louboutin’s craftsmanship with a subversive, ground-level edge. The actress completes her on-the-go ensemble with the Balenciaga Le City Bag Small in Black , a cult favorite that adds a touch of moto-chic to the refined outfit. The bag’s distinctive braided handles and prominent hardware complement the chunky loafers, creating a cohesive visual dialogue between her accessories.

Her hair, a simple and sleek bob, and a barely-there makeup look reinforce the message: this is an outfit designed for movement, for purpose, for life in a city that never slows down. It’s a look that champions understated confidence, proving that the most compelling fashion moments are often the ones that feel the most real.

Elsa Pataky champions a sophisticated celebrity look at a Biotherm presentation, proving that a sculpted minidress can redefine red carpet fashion.

As a master of effortless beachside glamour, Elsa Pataky reminds us she’s just as commanding in an urban setting. For the Biotherm presentation in Madrid, the actress ignited the event in a striking white minidress by Vivienne Westwood . This designer outfit played with a signature corseted bodice, which created a sculptural, form-fitting top that contrasted beautifully with the dress’s relaxed, slightly flared skirt.

Pataky’s choice of footwear was particularly inspired, opting for bright orange Sophia Webster sandals that provided a bold, modern pop of color against the classic dress. Her Tiffany & Co. jewelry , delicate and simple, kept the focus on the outfit’s architectural lines. The ensemble was completed by a casual, undone hairstyle and soft, natural makeup, lending an air of nonchalant cool to a look that was meticulously crafted.
