The “Kiss of the Spider Woman” star wore a blazer-inspired, long-sleeve top with a plunging neckline and subtle waistline pockets.

Paltrow brought a classic color combo together with her long-sleeve, crisp white midi dress and red pumps.

Kerry Washington

Washington opted for a design from Jonathan Simkhai’s eponymous label. The actress wore the coordinated Zander Jacquard bustier top and Vionna Jacquard midi skirt from the fall 2025 collection. The strapless top and skirt featured waxed jacquard for a textural element, patterned with botanical elements. Washington paired the look with metallic pointed toe pumps. The actress often collaborates with styling team Zangardi and Haenn.

Chase Infiniti

Chase Infiniti went for asymmetry in a look by Proenza Schouler. Styled by collaborators Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, the “One Battle After Another” breakout star’s charcoal gray dress featured a high neckline and one-shoulder silhouette. Fabric draping was a major motif throughout the look, incorporated into the bodice and through pleating on the maxiskirt.
