In Ayo Edebiri, A New Fashion Girly Is Born

By

God bless awards season. With the year off to a suitably frosty start and conditions as bleak as the news cycle, Hollywood awards shows are becoming something of a welcome interlude, where a touch of glamour, onscreen artistry, and rousing speeches are welcomely blooming through the blues.

The brightest shining light of all is comedian, writer and actor Ayo Edebiri, of course. The 28-year-old actor has swept the board collecting accolade after accolade for her role as Sydney Adamu in The Bear, and has become a fast fashion force in the meantime. Consider that her last four outfits on the red carpet have been custom Louis Vuitton, The Row, Versace and Proenza Schouler, not forgetting her custom red Prada gown at the Golden Globes, and you'll soon understand that this is a real fashion girly to reckon with. To be frank, there are few dressers quite as exciting as Edebiri right now, who works with stylist Danielle Goldberg. Her SNL hosting debut was equally a fashion frenzy, where she wore brands that ran the gamut from Thom Browne to 16Arlington for the event and its subsequent promo.

So, as we anticipate her next sartorial move, revisit Edebiri's best looks yet.

The look was styled with metallic silver pointed-toe heels, white satin opera gloves, and a beige shawl covered in feathers that she wore over her arms. A vision.
