You don’t typically go to San Diego Comic-Con expecting a lesson in nuanced, decade-revival fashion, but here we are. In a quiet moment away from the convention floor chaos, inside Jonny Marlow’s studio for Entertainment Weekly, Natasha Lyonne and Maria Bakalova served up a study in contrasts so pitch-perfect it felt like a statement.

Her outfit? A tailored Givenchy ensemble that whispered power. The blazer—structured yet fluid—paired with wide-leg trousers in a soft wool-silk blend, created a silhouette that was both commanding and graceful. It was the kind of look that doesn’t need embellishment to make a statement. And yet, Fanning added one: neon green heels, a jolt of color that turned the monochrome into a mood.

Jewelry was precise and poetic. On her fingers: Cartier’s Trinity Ring and Juste Un Clou Ring—symbols of timeless craftsmanship and quiet rebellion. The rings didn’t just accessorize; they punctuated the look, adding metallic rhythm to the visual composition.
