For Numéro Netherlands, Carmichael leans into cinematic restraint—rain-slick streets, razor tailoring, and a gilded waist (because restraint loves one good flourish).
Laura Carmichael meets the lens like a quiet siren—no shout, all signal. On the “Film” cover, she anchors a rain-darkened street in a long-sleeved, belted dress with a flared skirt and pointed heels, one hand hooked to a streetlamp as if calling the scene to order. The black-and-white palette sharpens the line: trench-adjacent structure up top, swing and movement below, the stance set to “cut—print.”
Shift scenes and color bleeds in. Against a black-painted facade, Carmichael wears a deep green satin blouse with voluminous sleeves and a cinched waist, the look clinched by an ornate gold buckle that reads baroque punctuation. Wide-leg teal trousers drop with studio-perfect weight; pointed brown shoes extend the silhouette with that sly, lengthening finish. The palette? Jewel tones without the noise—inked, urbane, unhurried.
Back in the studio, the narrative goes vertical. A pinstripe double-breasted blazer with structured shoulders sits over a crisp shirt and tie, but the twist lands below: a skirt cut into long, swaying strips, turning stride into motion graphics. The pointed heels restore severity; wavy hair softens the line—precision drafting meets after-hours fringe. It’s boardroom codes rewritten for a dolly shot.
Accessories stay sparse and strategic: the statement belt buckle in look two carries the visual thesis, while the cover’s minimalism relies on architecture and attitude. Lighting does the heavy lifting—overcast city gloss for the opener, soft window-sheen for the green-and-teal vignette, high-contrast studio chiaroscuro for the pinstripe—and Carmichael calibrates her posture to each: grounded and cinematic; louche and leaning; erect, almost editorially still.
What does it all reference? Film noir’s urban choreography and midcentury tailoring, trimmed with a hint of ’70s gloss and ’90s minimalism. Think streetlamp as co-star, trench codes distilled, and fringe-as-motion blur—a suite of frames rather than outfits. Hair and makeup keep tempo: softly waved lengths and clean, camera-minded detailing that appears designed to respect line and shape rather than steal focus.
If this is Carmichael’s fall mood board, consider us cast—though we’ll allow for one reshoot if that fringe skirt gets a sequel on a real sidewalk.

Elle Fanning solidified her status as a Coach muse, transforming a literal runway look into an effortlessly cool, ’90s-inspired double-denim fantasy on the streets of New York.
Elle Fanning attended the Coach show during New York Fashion Week, making a compelling case for the enduring power of denim. Her look, originally presented as part of Coach’s Resort 2026 collection, was a masterclass in styling. She wore a striking, floor-length trench coat made of a light-wash denim. Unlike the runway’s unbuttoned presentation, Fanning fastened the coat’s storm collar at her neck, allowing the rest of the coat to flow behind her like a cape as she walked. This simple styling choice created a dramatic, almost regal silhouette, lending an unexpected elegance to the rugged material. Beneath the coat, she revealed a simple white top and a pair of equally light-wash, baggy jeans with wide, exaggerated hems that pooled around her ankles, creating a cohesive, head-to-toe denim ensemble.
She carried a patched denim Tabby crossbody bag, a playful nod to the brand’s iconic logo and the overall patchwork aesthetic of the look. The bag, with its metallic chain strap, added a touch of polish and contrasted beautifully with the casual, distressed feel of the outfit. Fanning’s hair was styled in a slightly messy, natural blonde look, and her makeup was kept fresh and clean, allowing the bold, monochromatic outfit to take center stage. The result was a look that felt both nostalgic and utterly modern, a perfect example of contemporary street style.
The look wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a revival of an era, a modern-day grunge aesthetic stripped of its angst and injected with a cool, downtown New York sensibility. By trading the original collection’s whimsical, fairytale-like props for her own sleek styling, Fanning and her stylist, Samantha McMillen, showed how to authentically translate runway theatricality into a real-world look. The whole ensemble felt like a tribute to the ’90s without being a costume, a testament to how the right pieces can transcend trends and become a part of a larger, evolving story in celebrity style.
The rest of the fashion pack, including GloRilla, also embraced the denim dress code, proving that the all-jeans look is having a major moment. It begs the question: is Fanning leading a new denim revolution, or is she simply proving that a classic never truly goes out of fashion? Either way, she has cemented her place as a go-to for inspiring looks and a popular celebrity to watch. You can check out more amazing celebrity street style here .
Across a minimalist set, Pettis merges cutout mechanics and glinting zip closures—her sculptural leather duo riffs on ’90s rebellion and modernist polish.
Madison Pettis appears almost forged from obsidian, the sheen of her black leather ensemble gliding across a stark white backdrop. The zip-front top hugs her torso with high-collar authority and a triangular midriff cutout that teases a flash of skin. Each metallic snap along the sleeves and collar whispers industrial chic—an elegant nod to the machinery of power dressing.
Her high-waisted pants mirror that tonal command, button-lined seams running down the sides like rivets on a streamlined chassis. The silhouette is simultaneously militant and sensual, the nipped waist giving way to a subtly flared leg. As she plants her feet, legs splayed in a stance worthy of a runway’s closing walk, the ensemble feels less garment and more armor.
Then—you might blink—a sleek metamorphosis. In one frame, Pettis trades head-to-toe leather for a contrasting black-and-white ensemble: a crisp white dress shirt, a slim black tie, and a sculpted sleeveless bodysuit layered atop. Black sheer tights and knee-high zipper boots shoot the look into defiant opera, while fingerless gloves complete the femme-fatale equation.
This photoshoot doesn’t just play with contrast; it champions it. By juxtaposing texture-heavy leather with hospital-white cotton, Pettis taps into a broader resurgence of duality—think Y2K minimalism meets ’80s noir. Her wavy hair drapes around her shoulders like ink on paper, and a bold eye punctuates the look (why whisper when you can announce?).
Every accessory, from the subtle bracelet at her wrist to the glint in her metallic bangle, punctuates the narrative of modern sartorial warfare. For more on how celebrities are rewriting style rules, explore our celebrity style .
