Selena Gomez has made a statement in this sleek black Vera Wang dress. Simple, but the addition of a neat bow and sleeves transforms this look into something special. Her slicked-back hair and strong brows are the perfect modern foil to this classic look. 

This gorgeous silhouetted look by Balmain ensured Ethan Herisse really stood out. The bright blue tones with an accent of red are striking, while the simple cut of the jacket and roll-neck make the whole thing feel restrained. I love this look. 

This unique synthetic hair shirt was made in collaboration with artist Taiba Akhuetie and creative director Francesca Murri for Murri’s debut show for Milanese brand Fiorucci this September. Perfectly styled with a chic bob hairstyle and insouciant leather trousers too. 

This gorgeous chocolate brown dress is the perfect mix of elegant and cool. From Neithan Herbert, which is based between Milan and Mexico, it has a timeless style that still feels contemporary. Chocolate brown is also a huge trend for autumn/winter 2024. 

Red is the colour trend that endures all seasons and is still going strong beyond autumn/winter 2024, as this striking sequin dress from Ferragamo’s resort collection proves. I love Saldaña’s slicked-back pony and ear cuff lending an edge to this elegant look. 

This suit is the perfect balance of oversized yet feminine. Actor-director Mati Diop has styled it to perfection with black accents and simple metallic jewellery. Wide-leg trousers have been my most worn piece for autumn/winter 2024, and this look shows that they work everywhere—from the office to a film launch. 

This deceptively simple Givenchy gown is a vision of simple elegance from the front but has the most beautiful button detail down the back. Felicity Jones is styled by London-based stylist Nicky Yates and always looks elegant yet cool. 

I love how Emma Laird has styled this bejewelled caped mini dress by Louis Vuitton with heavy black riding boots. Her loose disco curls and lack of jewellery come together to make this such a cool look. 

Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor looks regal in this outsized coat from Thom Browne’s 2023 couture collection. I love that she has added height with moulded platform boots and kept jewellery simple with my favourite – a gold hoop. 

Mischa Barton has embraced the low-key NYFF dress code in a fabulous green trench, and it really works. Keeping her outfit underneath a simple black column and her hair in loose waves, there is a nod to this season’s love for all things boho, but in a subtle way that’s cool rather than themed.
