Forget the stressed English woman—every fashionable celebrity is currently dressing like the protagonist in a '90s romantic comedy this...
There is indeed no profession quite like show business, and Hollywood's most prominent figures seize every chance to shine as leading ladies when in front of a camera—both on and off screen. This week, both Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence exhibited this sentiment. While in New York, the stars added a theatrical flair to their casual outfits, showcasing ensembles reminiscent of the nostalgic and practical costumes from ‘90s romantic comedies. The supermodel-turned-mogul and the Academy Award-winning actress share a passion for street style, reflected in their similar roster of designer labels. However, these coordinated looks marked a slight shift from their usual understated luxury attire, echoing the styles worn by Meg Ryan in You Got Mail or Renée Zellweger in Bridget Jones’s Diary. It’s hard to wear a boxy coat, a charming knitted hat, and a whimsical scarf on a brisk Manhattan morning without drawing comparisons to characters from this cherished era of cinema.
Jennifer Lawrence, who is currently on a press tour for a film that drastically contrasts with this genre, Lynn Ramsay’s psychological thriller Die My Love, donned this outfit during a stroll through Greenwich Village. For the outing, she opted for a double-breasted black wool coat from the Scandinavian knitwear brand Almada Label, a studded suede bag from the Barcelona-based label Gimagaus, a cashmere hat from Loro Piana, and trend-setting leather sock boots from Le Monde Beryl. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner swapped her usual laid-back West Coast style for something more appropriate for a West Village outing with her close friend, Hailey Bieber.
Kendall sported a complete look from The Row, featuring a cropped, collarless jacket with concealed hook-and-eye closures, straight-leg blue jeans, leather slippers, a cobalt blue scarf, and a cotton-and-wool blend hat. These outfits suggest that the "frazzled English woman" aesthetic is no longer in vogue. Instead, we see a polished yet cozy look reminiscent of a fictional Upper East Side local falling in love, at least for the duration of a 120-minute film. Given the current season, I can’t think of a better time to channel your inner Julia Roberts in Stepmom.
In truth, I may have jumped the gun in adopting this trend, having sported an endearing fisherman cap from the Australian resortwear brand Asta Resort throughout August in London. Unfortunately, I was confronted by a stern pub owner who questioned the style after he mistook me for an attendee of an Oasis concert—certainly not the charming romantic vibe I aimed for. Nevertheless, I’m not alone in this endeavor, as trendsetters like who What Wear US editor-in-residence and stylist Coco Schiffer, Norwegian influencer Annabel Rosendahl, and content creator Makenna Alyse McReynolds have been spotted wearing nearly identical versions of this look. Whether you call it method dressing or simply dressing for comfort, prepare for your main-character moment and check out the outfits below.
