In a world where four-figure totes are the celebrity norm, it’s rare for an under-$200 bag to find an A-list following. But Alex Mill’s Perfect Weekday Tote has done just that. Now, it’s back in a new, perfect-for-fall color that’s guaranteed to win over even more style setters.

This week, the New York-based brand launched its new collection, featuring autumn-ready sweaters, outerwear, and most importantly, a new Perfect Weekday Tote. All the fan-favorite features are still there, including the bag's rectangular body, short and long shoulder straps, and oversized snap closures. The only difference? The 13-inch tote is now available in “Firebrick” color, which is a few shades darker than the original red version.

The new Weekday Tote launched at the “Perfect” time: Everyone from Kendall Jenner and Tracee Ellis Ross to Ayo Edebiri and Jennifer Lawrence has been previously spotted with a dark red bag on their arm.

Despite the Perfect Weekday Tote’s 10-piece shade range, celebrities gravitate toward “Golden Khaki,” a goes-with-everything cross between mustard yellow and camel. Last fall, while filming The Shards, Gerber brought the bag to set in L.A.

By Dec. 2025 in New York City, the same cut and color appeared on Karlie Kloss’s arm. It seems she chose not to have her initials hand-painted onto the canvas exterior.

As recently as this summer, Julia Roberts made the same decision. Much like Kloss, the Oscar winner wore the Perfect Weekday Tote with ballet flats. Her striped rugby shirt and straight-leg jeans gave the carry-all a back-to-school feel.

Could the new color influence A-listers to give “Golden Khaki” some time off? The uptick in burgundy and red designer bags says so. While you await its street style debut, treat yourself to Alex Mill’s Perfect Weekday Tote in one or two of the underrated shades below.

As someone who grew up in an Eastern European household—and now lives in a city like New York, where the streets aren’t exactly pristine—I am a firm believer in indoor clothes. The second I get home, my outdoor clothing comes off, and I change into the softest, loosest thing I own. Drawstring pants have long been a key part of that rotation: comfortable, unfussy, and, at least in my mind, firmly intended for the couch, not the outside world.

But over the past few years, the fashion world has made a very convincing case for taking them to the streets. As drawstring and pull-on cotton pants have become a bona fide trend, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway, and Laura Harrier have laid the groundwork, styling them in intentionally relaxed ways that don’t scream “I just ran out for coffee.” Paired with button-downs, blazers, ballet flats, designer bags, and other pieces I’d normally save for actual trousers or jeans, the humble bottoms suddenly looked surprisingly put-together.

So, I decided it was time to test my own fashion prejudice. Could the pants I associate most with staying in actually become something I’d wear out? This week, I’m finding out.

Drawstring Pants Are Leaving the Couch

Over the past few years, as relaxed silhouettes have displaced rigid tailoring on the runways, pull-on pants have moved beyond their loungewear associations and into everyday wardrobes. No longer reserved solely for lounging, these loose, breathable styles are now getting the dressed-up treatment with new fabrications (see: satin and taffeta), silhouettes (barrel-leg, cargo), and every color imaginable.

On the street style circuit, celebrities have helped push the trend even further, turning drawstring pants into a certifiable It-girl uniform. Kaia Gerber paired blue drawstring trousers with ballet flats and a Balenciaga City bag at the end of 2024, while Jennifer Lawrence wore wide-leg black pull-on pants with a trench and Loewe sneakers a few months later. This summer, Hadid made beige drawstring pants feel airport-ready with suede loafers and a Miu Miu bag, while Sofia Richie Grainge styled a pair with knitwear and slim trainers for a recent trip to Tokyo.

How I Style It

Perhaps no brand is more synonymous with drawstring pants right now than celebrity favorite Leset. The L.A.-based label, whose pants feature elasticized waists only, released its Kyoto Pants years before the trend took over. Since then, everyone from Gerber and Lawrence to Katie Holmes has worn the style.

For a day of work meetings, I styled Gerber’s exact pair. To balance the bright cobalt color and the relaxed barrel-leg silhouette, I leaned into a more corporate uniform on top with a button-front shirt and blazer. The cropped fit of the TWP shirt solved the tuck-it-in-or-leave-it-out dilemma, while the drawcord detail on the Smythe blazer subtly echoed the waist ties. For this look, I traded my soft loafers for even softer (and trendier) Derby-style jazz shoes from the also-Gerber-approved brand Repetto. I finished the workwear look with a purse from another A-lister-endorsed name Cuyana and silver hoop earrings from my go-to affordable jewelry brand Jenny Bird.

For nighttime, I contrasted the utilitarian silhouette of the pant with a form-fitting going-out top. I then doubled down on the dressiness with heeled shoes from Nomasei. A wedge flip-flop or sandal would also be a fun alternative, playing up the Y2K, Rachel Green-esque look of the cargos. I’ve been loving this season’s colorblocking trend, so I added a Prada handbag (a reissue model which further winked to the 2000s) in red to contrast graphically with the cobalt blue. Statement earrings and cocktail rings finished off the outfit that could go from dinner to late-night drinks.

After a day and night of wearing drawstring pants out, I’m officially reconsidering my indoor pants as outerwear. You still won’t catch me wearing my outside clothes at home, though.

The 2026 US Open began on August 30, and the serves weren't reserved for the racquet-wielding athletes on center court. Celebrity tennis-goers came out swinging on the fashion front, wearing attire from designers like Fendi and Gucci, as well as sportswear names like Adidas and Nike.

Thanks to the qualifying matches held during Fan Week, the VIP section at New York's Billie Jean King National Tennis Center was buzzing as early as Aug. 24. Warming up the blue carpet for legends like Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka, Kaia Gerber demonstrated that, contrary to Wimbledon, tennis whites aren't required at the US Open. The actor's little black dress and tiger-print Fendi Baguette Bag made her unmissable in the stands.

Fast forward to the halfway point of the tournament, and sporty tennis-inspired styles took the lead. Billie Jean King showcased her signature Adidas sneakers in cobalt blue; Lexi Minetree wore the white trainer trend with a pinstripe two-piece; and Danielle Brooks paired Louis Vuitton's pleated tennis skirt with a matching practice-proof T-shirt.

The US Open isn't just the most high-profile place for tennis's biggest stars to showcase their skills—of the sport and style varieties. Beyond the on-court serves, A-listers inside suites from Ralph Lauren, IHG, Moët & Chandon, and more are showcasing no shortage of summer-to-fall fashion inspiration. Luckily for fans, the style tournament runs until September 13. Ahead, see and shop the best celebrity looks that the 2026 US Open has to offer. And don't forget to bookmark this page, because Marie Claire will be updating it with our favorite outfits all tournament long.

Suni Lee

On Sept. 8, Suni Lee tied a patterned neck scarf around her Wimbledon-ready tennis whites, giving the short-sleeve shirtdress and a sold-out east-west bag by Tommy Hilfiger an effortlessly cool, New York twist.

Latto

Who knew Gucci offered a monogrammed visor? Thankfully, Latto did. The rapper doubled up on double-G designs by pairing her ponytail-looping headpiece with a matching tennis skirt, platform mules, and an itty-bitty bag.

Natalia Bryant

Natalie Bryant isn't ready to store away her butter yellow styles just yet. So, before switching to mustard yellow for fall, the model stacked an asymmetrical Oxford shirt over straight-leg jeans at the US Open.

Becky G

Bringing the celebrity-beloved brand Guizio as her plus-one, Becky G showed off a charcoal gray, pinstripe skirt set that's currently listed for final sale. Hurry, because the under-$400 'fit could disappear before the next US Open match.

Issa Rae

On the tennis tournament's blue carpet, Issa Rae proved the Bermuda shorts trend has lots of fall potential—especially if the knee-length bottoms boast a rich shade of chocolate brown. The Insecure actor French-tucked a white button-down from Tommy Hilfiger into the pleated waistband of her pair.

Rachel Zegler

On Sept. 6, Rachel Zegler styled a navy blue bustier dress from House of CB (the same tea-length style in Jennifer Lopez's summer-to-fall closet) with the heeled flip-flops trend. When her hands weren't in her pockets, the West Side Story star's tennis ball-tinted manicure stole the show.

Ziwe

Opting out of traditional tennis whites, the comedian Ziwe styled a vintage Roberto Cavalli matching set with butter yellow block heels from Staud.

Sophia Bush

One Tree Hill actor Sophia Bush celebrated Open Pride at the US Open. Her belted camel-colored jacket, white pencil skirt, and pointy suede pumps would make for a perfect fall workwear look, too.

Danielle Brooks

Danielle Brooks brought Louis Vuitton to Arthur Ashe Stadium in a crewneck T-shirt and pleated mini skirt from the brand. She accessorized her skirt set with the monogrammed Speedy Trunk, which, thanks to its mini size, complied with the tournament's bag policy.

Martha Stewart

On day three, Martha Stewart joined the US Open party in a quintessentially on-brand outfit: an ivory linen blazer layered over a matching button-down and slim blue jeans.

Alexandra Daddario

Alexandra Daddario made several stops at the US Open in the first week of the tournament. On Sep. 2, she took a more casual approach with her tennis attire, pairing a navy blue quarter-zip with white trousers and high-vamp snakeskin flats from Khaite. For her high-low accessories, the actor sported a New York Knicks baseball cap and a Hermès Birkin bag. (Casual.)

Constance Wu

The stripe trend took over Constance Wu's US Open outfit. She arrived in a black-and-white button-down, a mini skirt, and platform espadrille sandals from Missoni.

Laurie Hernandez

The Olympic gymnast deserves another gold medal for her lovely LWD on day three of the US Open. Judging by the bodice's itty-bitty bow and the linen-looking skirt, there's a chance Laurie Hernandez wore this $140 dress from Reformation.

Billie Jean King

On day three, Billie Jean King delivered the ultimate Grand Slam: She styled her namesake Adidas Sneakers, combining the silhouette of the Sambas and the celebrity-beloved cobalt color trend.

Yara Shahidi

Yara Shahidi delivered a masterclass in styling summer's stripe trend for fall. She wore a cropped sweater and a matching mermaid maxi skirt, courtesy of Monse. Her entire look is still available—if you have over $1,600 to spare.

Lindsay Hubbard

Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard confirmed capri pants season isn't over yet. Staying loyal to summer's trending shades, patterns, and silhouettes, Hubbard paired a peplum top from New York designer Caroline Constas with the matching polka-dotted capris.

Lexi Minetree

The star of Prime Video's Legally Blonde prequel, Elle, didn't wear a single splash of pink at her first US Open match. Instead, Lexi Minetree looked coastal chic in a pinstripe-and-navy-blue skirt set by the Venezuela-based brand Port De Bras. Bonus: Her exact look is not only available but also on sale.

Queen Latifah

For Naomi Osaka's first official 2026 US Open match, Queen Latifah kept it cool in a black tank top, wide-leg trousers, and a pinstripe blazer with three-quarter-length sleeves. Don't miss the statement jewelry: a chunky chain necklace and drop earrings.

Maura Higgins

Maura Higgins set a high style bar for herself at Wimbledon 2026, wearing vintage Chanel with Zendaya-approved, tennis ball-punctured pumps. On day two of the US Open, the Love Island star continued her Chanel streak in a gray raglan tee and a slitted pencil skirt.

For a '50s-inspired twist on tennis-core, she accessorized with white cat-eye sunglasses, a thick headband, peep-toe pumps, and a compact crossbody bag by Chanel. (Peep its racquet-shaped pocket.)

Alexandra Daddario

Cutting it close to the "no white after Labor Day" deadline, for an earlier US Open outing, Daddario paired the perfect little white dress from Reformation with fall-appropriate accessories: a tomato red suede clutch and cool-toned blue loafers.

Tate McRae

For day one of the tournament, Tate McRae made her US Open debut in Adidas knitwear, matching micro shorts, and $100 Stan Smith sneakers. Gucci's monogrammed Horsebit Ristretto Shoulder Bag upgraded her high-low look to four-figure status.

Inde Navarrette

Fellow first-timer Inde Navarette channeled an off-duty athlete. The Obsession star wore a full Adidas outfit, which featured an oversized jacket, side-striped track pants, and white sneakers with forest green laces.

Lindsey Vonn

Olympic alpine skier Lindsey Vonn is still awaiting her ACL surgery, but that didn't stop her from testing 2026's green color trend at the US Open. The turtleneck dress, with its timeless waistline tie, made her one of the most elegant spectators on day one. Meanwhile, Vonn's east-west snakeskin purse by Verified proved animal-print accessories are still winners for fall.

Brandy

Brandy looked like she time-traveled from the '90s to day one of the US Open. "The Boy Is Mine" singer's multicolor skirt set and matching head scarf embodied nostalgia at its most fun.

Grounding the bold look in today's trends, she slipped chunky socks into croc-embossed loafers by Versace. (The unconventional combination has recently found fans in Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Olivia Rodrigo.)

Serena Williams

During Fan Week, Serena Williams cosplayed a casual spectator in a bubblegum pink Nike windbreaker. Much like her cobalt blue look at a pre-US Open pickleball tournament, this shade is having a moment on the street style scene. Expect to see more of it once the tournament is well underway.

Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber delivered a Carrie Bradshaw-coded combination at Roger Federer's US Open exhibition match on Aug. 25. Between the LBD by Yana Matkiviski, the animal-print Fendi Baguette, and the peep-toe pumps, you'd think the actor plucked every piece from the illustrious fashion girl's closet.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph

Two years ago, Da'Vine Joy Randolph's coastal-chic hat made quite an impression at the 2024 US Open. This time, she traded a statement-making headpiece for a chocolate-brown dress and striking sunglasses.

Tinashe

While Tinashe wore white from head-to-toe at the 2026 US Open, she didn't polish the matching set the Wimbledon Way. Not only was the collared shirt semi-sheer, but she also paired it with a mini pencil skirt. Here's hoping that more pop stars twist tennis-core styling like Tinashe.

After five years of finishing French girl-inspired 'fits, my beloved ballet flats are officially out of order. To celebrate a life well lived, I planned on re-purchasing the same understated pair. That is, until a new VIP-approved ballet flats trend caught my eye. Plot twist: This new It shoe isn't flat anymore.

Slipper-style ballerinas will never truly leave celebrity shoe racks—or mine, for that matter. They're just sharing the stage with heeled ballet flats, the latest shoe trend to stand a few inches taller. It's been 85 years since Salvatore Capezio, the shoemaker of the Metropolitan Opera House, created the original silhouette for American designer Claire McCardell. Now, Rose Repetto's label—an Italian artist who hand-made a pair for her choreographer son in 1947—is famous for its ballet pumps, too.

Everyone from Olivia Rodrigo and Lily-Rose Depp to Hailey Bieber and Vittoria Ceretti has pirouetted around L.A. or New York City in Repetto's Camille Ballet Flats, known for their bow-tied toe boxes and block heels. After wearing black Camille ballerinas on repeat, Kaia Gerber designed her own suede style with Repetto in March 2026. That's not to say other brands aren't supporting the new trend, too. Sandy Liang's Ballet Pumps, for instance, have been Ariana Grande's go-to footwear style this summer.

My favorite flats picked the perfect time to fall apart: I'm on a mission to have another Ballet Flats Fall, but not with the slippers I'm used to styling. Ahead, join me in shopping for heeled ballet flats from the closets of Bieber, Gerber, Zoë Kravitz, and more.

Hailey Bieber's Heeled Ballet Flats

Repetto's ballet pumps joined Hailey Bieber's collection over a year ago. For their first street style sighting, the Rhode founder styled them as if she were an off-duty dancer: with a crop top, an oversized bomber jacket, slim trousers, and a rehearsal-ready bag.

Zoë Kravitz's Heeled Ballet Flats

Last weekend, after joining Harry Styles on his tour stops in London and Mexico, Zoë Kravitz returned to NYC with new shoes. The Blink Twice director scored the sold-out Roberto Flats from Maryam Nassir Zadeh, which featured 1.5-inch-tall block heels and a made-for-fall suede finish.

Ariana Grande's Heeled Ballet Flats

When she's not wearing gravity-defying Christian Louboutin boots on the Eternal Sunshine Tour, Ariana Grande is slipping socks into Sandy Liang's Ballet Pumps. As a dancer, she's no stranger to styling ballet slippers with hosiery. However, tapered heels gave her jeans-and-crewneck combination a high-fashion twist.

Kaia Gerber's Heeled Ballet Flats

As Marie Claire's resident celebrity style spotter, trust me when I say Kaia Gerber eats, sleeps, and struts in Repetto's heeled ballet flats. Before creating the sold-out Kaia style with the Paris label, she click-clacked around L.A. in the Camille heels.

Before long, Gerber assembled her own ballet flats outfit formula, which usually consists of a fitted cardigan, navy blue or black trousers, a Chanel or Gucci bag, and Repettos, obviously.

Apple Martin's Heeled Ballet Flats

Not only are black ballerinas the most versatile shade on an A-lister's shoe rack, but they're also the most well-loved. Every once in a while, though, someone like Grande or Apple Martin adds another neutral to the mix.

This summer, Martin accessorized her little white dress and chocolate-colored tote with chestnut brown ballet pumps, which seem to be a vintage Repetto pair. Their unconventional, not-quite-copper hue is begging to be worn all autumn long.

Lily-Rose Depp's Heeled Ballet Flats

Lily-Rose Depp might just be the trend's most loyal supporter: Thanks to Repetto, of course, she sported the silhouette as early as 2023. Every element of her off-duty outfit—down to the block heels and babydoll dress—would fit in with today's street style signatures. I think it's about time Depp pulled them out of storage, right?

In the opening of Season 2 of Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw famously catches a baseball game (and a foul ball) at Yankee Stadium while wearing a fur coat, black dress, and heels. If Sarah Jessica Parker's character scored tickets to NYC's US Open right about now, her spectator style might've resembled Kaia Gerber's, down to the statement-making Fendi Baguette.

On August 25, five days before the official first round of games began, Gerber joined Anna Wintour, Tory Burch, Savannah Guthrie, and more to watch Roger Federer's special exhibition match during Fan Week. The US Open doesn't adhere to the same dress code as Wimbledon, so she wasn't required to wear tennis whites.

But Gerber didn't just avoid the Center Court-certified color, she ditched any semblance of the tennis-core aesthetic—think little white shirtdresses, pleated skirts, or comfort-first ballet flats—for a uniform fresh from Carrie Bradshaw's closet. The model's new stylist, Emma Jade Morrison, outfitted her in the ultimate black bodycon dress by Yana Matkivski, matching peep-toe pumps, shield sunglasses from Side Eye NYC, and an animal-print Fendi Baguette bag.

The accessory is a departure for the model, who has recently been rotating between two Chanel bags: a vintage shoulder style in quilted cobalt blue and the Matthieu Blazy-era Maxi Flap. (The latter has also found fans in Kendall Jenner, Margot Robbie, and Cardi B.) It's also not a classic Baguette: Gerber opted for the pony hair, tiger-print version from the Fall 2026 collection, complete with an adjustable strap and the brand's iconic emblem in silver.

On Sex and the City—the series that made the circa-1997 purse famous—the illustrious fashion girl collected Fendi Baguettes covered in sequins, beadwork, and floral patterns. While Carrie reserved the leopard print for Dior's Saddle Bag, she did flaunt a baguette with a snakeskin finish on the series.

These days, Parker's taste in Fendi Baguettes is still evolving: Earlier this summer, the Emmy winner modeled a zebra-print bag for the Italian label's latest campaign.

Celebrities have styled leopard as a neutral for quite some time, but right now, the print has amassed its own zoo of A-list supporters. Harry Styles chose Chanel's wildest Maxi Flap from the Métiers d'Art Spring 2026 show; Sarah Pidgeon wore the same bag with jeans; Jennifer Lawrence paired a leopard Prada Galleria with the Mary Jane sneakers trend, and Zoë Kravitz, Kate Moss, and Miley Cyrus share an affinity for Saint Laurent's Le 5 à 7 Bea tote.

Animal-print purses are rare for Gerber, a bona fide minimalist. (She did, however, model a few leopard looks in a 2020 campaign for Jimmy Choo.) But if any best-seller can widen her palette of patterns, it's the Fendi Baguette, which comes in jaguar, python, lizard, and more. Judging by one of her first Baguettes—an embroidered multi-color bag that joined her collection in Dec. 2025—Gerber prefers the hero item in its boldest form.

Today, you can’t go more than a few blocks before spotting a pair of cotton drawstring pants out in the wild. In 2019, Leset’s Lili Chemla was struggling to prove to retailers that a gap was waiting to be filled.

“The idea was creating clothes that were comfortable enough to wear at home and nice to wear out,” Chemla tells Marie Claire. At the time, she says, fashion offered ready-to-wear on one end and pajamas and loungewear on the other, with little in the space between. When she took the concept to department stores, buyers weren’t quite sure what to make of it. “They were like, ‘We can't put you on the ready-to-wear floor. We can't put you on the lingerie floor. Where do we put you? We need a floor in between,’” she remembers.

Seven years later, Leset has no shortage of places to go. Net-a-Porter was one of the brand’s earliest supporters; today, it is also sold at Nordstrom, Shopbop, Bloomingdale’s, and more, as well as its own stores in New York’s West Village and L.A.’s Palisades Village. Its signature styles, from the Margo T-shirt to the Kyoto Carpenter Pant, have wound up on everyone from Jennifer Lawrence and Katie Holmes to Kaia Gerber and Emma Stone.

You could credit the pandemic for blurring the line between clothes worn at home and everywhere else, or "quiet luxury" for fashion’s renewed obsession with deceptively simple wardrobe staples. But that would be overlooking the foresight of Chemla, who had already bet on the shift before either entered the zeitgeist.

Leset was born out of how she wanted to get dressed: “I didn't feel as though there was a brand that accomplished that for me at all.” The proposition was simple: fashion that felt good enough to spend all day in without looking like house clothes. Yet by taking something so basic as a good white T-shirt or a satin slip skirt seriously, Leset has ended up giving women exactly what they increasingly want. “I'm constantly just observing women, and how they're dressing, and how they're wanting to dress,” Chemla says. “And more and more women are wanting to dress in a way that makes them feel comfortable and allows them to move throughout their days with ease.”

If that sounds obvious in 2026, that's precisely the point. Consider fashion’s current fixation on easy cotton pants. Leset has been making them since the beginning. “This idea of pull-on pants that feels overly trendy right now is just our norm,” Chemla says. The brand doesn't make traditional pants with rigid waistbands, buttons, or zippers, Chemla explains; elastic and drawstrings have always been fundamental to its vocabulary. Even the Kyoto Carpenter Pant, which could easily be mistaken for Leset responding to the current appetite for barrel-leg, utilitarian trousers, has been in the collection for years. “It's maybe something that seems newer on the market, but it's been a staple for us for so long now,” Chemla says.

Chemla would rather make a piece that survives a trend cycle than one engineered to capitalize on it. “It's less about creating pieces of the now and more about creating pieces that women are going to want to buy and still want to see in their wardrobe 10 to 20 years from now,” she says. “So we focus really on those timeless pieces as opposed to the pieces that come and go.”

That philosophy has earned Leset perhaps the most convincing endorsement possible: Women with virtually unlimited access to fashion keep coming back to it. Lawrence has repeatedly worn the brand’s Margo tee and Yoko line. Gerber has made the Kyoto Carpenter and Arielle Pocket pants part of her off-duty wardrobe. Hailey Bieber, Dakota Johnson, Holmes, and others have all been photographed in Leset pieces—and, importantly, often more than once. Chemla says the A-list following wasn't orchestrated. “The celebrity adoption has happened so organically for us,” she says. “We have celebrities stopping into our store all the time to shop and just pick up and replenish their wardrobes.”

Early on, the first celebrity sighting felt monumental. Chemla remembers discovering Kylie Jenner had worn a Leset set and studying the photos with her team to make sure they weren't mistaken. “We just kept zooming into it, and we were 100 percent certain it was ours, but we almost just couldn't believe it,” she says. Celebrity sightings are considerably less surprising these days. “It's become such a natural part of the business,” Chemla says. “Obviously, we're so grateful for that because that has an incredible impact, but it hasn't necessarily been the focus of the brand.”

Perhaps that lack of focus on celebrity is exactly why Leset has become so ubiquitous among them. The brand’s clothes don’t require a styling team to make sense of them. They're what famous women wear in the decidedly un-famous parts of their lives: grabbing coffee, getting on planes, or running errands (though there have been plenty of Leset red carpet appearances, too).

Meanwhile, the rest of fashion has increasingly entered the category retailers once couldn't figure out how to merchandise, with a new “Leset pant” dupe popping up on my feed every month. Chemla isn't particularly concerned about competitors. “For us, it's really about just staying in our lane with our blinders on and not looking at what other people are doing and how they're doing it,” she says. Her analogy is: “It's like driving on a highway, and we're just on cruise control in the HOV lane, and people are coming in and out.”

Staying in that lane has occasionally meant leaving money on the table. In Leset's early years, Chemla says wholesale partners approached the brand about exclusive colors and altered versions of its products—even asking whether Leset could add conventional closures to its pants. “It was hard,” she says. “Seeing those dollar signs in front of us and having to just say no in that moment, knowing that it would benefit the longevity and the long-term business overall was so important to where the business is now.”

That “restraint,” she says, became one of Leset's most important growth strategies. “We've never wanted to do something that doesn't feel like Leset just to do it because it might bring in a big sale in the moment.” Instead, decisions are considered in terms of how they might affect the company's identity five or 10 years down the line. Ironically, growth has given Chemla more freedom to be particular. When Leset launched, approximately 80 percent of its business was wholesale and 20 percent direct-to-consumer. Today, Chemla says, between 60 and 70 percent comes directly from its customers. “Making that flip was always the goal because it gave us more freedom to dictate what we were able to produce and not produce as a small business,” she says.

There were pieces Chemla wanted to make from the beginning that never reached shoppers in the early years. Leset's first collection, for instance, included a full-length, double-faced red cashmere coat. Buyers weren't willing to take a chance on the higher price point, and Leset was too small to fund the inventory itself, so it never made it. Now, the brand can make those decisions on its own. “Being able to produce those styles that wholesalers weren't necessarily backing before has been one of the most exciting parts for me in the past two or three years,” Chemla says. “It's given us freedom in terms of our voice.”

That freedom is showing up in higher-priced fabrics and outerwear—the new fall collection features a $2,000 camel hair car coat—and an expanding universe of accessories. Leset has introduced socks, shoes, and hats, with each category intended to build toward a complete wardrobe. “You'll always see us expanding into categories that just feel like natural wardrobe essentials,” Chemla says. “We really do want women to be able to get dressed in Leset head to toe.”

For all the brand has expanded, Chemla's barometer for what belongs in that closet remains personal. “Instinct is a big one for me and just my gut feeling,” she says. When Leset has made something she doesn't fully believe in—or wouldn't put in her own wardrobe—she says it has generally proved to be a mistake. So she continually returns to the same questions she asked at launch: Who is the Leset woman? What is she doing? How is she living? And what does she actually want to wear while doing it?

Seven years ago, department stores couldn't figure out where Leset's clothes belonged. Today, women wear elastic-waist trousers to work, under-$100 T-shirts with four-figure handbags, and clothes built for comfort just about everywhere. “I think that that gray space is now the norm,” Chemla says. “Which is very exciting—that we've built it into something that is widely accepted, wanted, and appreciated.”

Leset once needed retailers to create a floor in between. Instead, the rest of fashion moved there.

After debuting a very French girl-inspired outfit while out to dinner with boyfriend Lewis Pullman, Kaia Gerber revealed the two closet items she's retaining as the seasons change. Basically, some bags and pairs of shoes transcend 2026's fashion trends.

On August 14, the model and actress was photographed in Los Angeles wearing black yoga pants with a subtly cropped black T-shirt. For accessories, Cindy Crawford's daughter carried her vintage Chanel Flap Bag—a classic style she's consistently chosen over 2026's It-girl favorite, Chanel's Maxi Flap Bag.

Gerber also opted to wear a pair of shoes she's been committed to for months. Repetto's $440 Kaia Ballet Flats actually hail from a collaboration between Gerber and the footwear brand. Ballet flats remain a firm favorite with celebs and It girls alike, meaning Gerber's shoes are right on trend.

Take it from Gerber—some accessories just work, regardless of the season.

While I haven't even touched my favorite trench coat since at least April, Kaia Gerber kept hers in regular rotation all summer long. No matter the weather, she found ways to wear the French-girl favorite with various denim trends, little black dresses, and ballet flats, of course. On August 13, one of the coolest days during L.A.'s heatwave, Gerber's classic trench and ballerinas looked ready for a perfect fall date night in Paris.

After weeks of promoting Ryan Murphy's new nostalgic TV series, The Shards, Gerber enjoyed a much-deserved dinner with her boyfriend, Lewis Pullman. The actor's off-duty outfit wasn't too different from her press tour style, which featured '90s-inspired slip dresses and statement scarves, too. Opposite Pullman's barn jacket, white jeans, and Vans sneakers, Gerber dressed herself in a knee-length LBD, the khaki-colored trench she can't stop styling, and black suede shoes from her March 2026 collaboration with French footwear brand Repetto.

There must've been a chill in L.A. last night, because Gerber also wrapped a chocolate-brown sweater around her neck like a scarf. After she traded Chanel's new Maxi Flap Bag for a vintage navy blue version, the supermodel finished her French girl 'fit with silver hoop earrings and oval-shaped sunglasses.

This trench—complete with epaulettes, buckled cuffs, and a Peter Pan collar— seems to have joined Gerber's coat rack earlier this year. So far, it's been spotted with her beloved Gucci Jackie Bag, cropped Dôen cardigans, and no shortage of straight-leg jeans.

Gerber is an L.A. girl, through and through, but she shares the Parisian penchant for foolproof uniforms. However, I didn't expect to see so much of her trusty trench coat and ballerinas before switching my calendar from August to September.

Here's hoping Gerber brings the timeless two-piece to Paris Fashion Week. If cosplaying French locals this fall also tickles your fancy, shop the Gerber-approved coats and shoes below.

For most of Hollywood's elite, the column dress is considered a signature. Zoë Kravitz wears one on virtually every red carpet she walks—and has done so for years. Ariana Grande even got married in one. And while the look has certainly withstood the test of time, I'll be the first to admit: an update wouldn't hurt.

And that's exactly what Kaia Gerber served up on her most recent red carpet. On August 3, the second-generation supermodel attended yet another premiere for the ongoing press tour for her new Hulu series, The Shards. Continuing her own column skirt fixation, she wore an all-white iteration for a photo call in Berlin, Germany.

But this wasn't the straightforward gown we're used to seeing on the star. Instead of your standard floor-length LBD, Gerber wore a two-piece set in stark white. The custom Prada number was minimalistic as they come, with a pin-straight skirt and a matching crop top—both made of luxe satin crepe. Despite its innate simplicity, the co-ord made a major impact.

Its lone statement design element was visible only from behind. The cropped top boasted an open back with three simple straps holding it perfectly in place.

When it came time to select accessories, Gerber stuck to the same pared-back energy. She wore a single diamond tennis bracelet and simple stud earrings. And thanks to her outfit's precise tailoring, her shoes were rendered totally invisible.

Gerber has been pushing the column skirt agenda for years—and white dresses, specifically, are her bread and butter. Back in 2024, she wore a sequin style to the Met Gala (another custom Prada look).

She also wore the bandage dress version of her present-day look on the red carpet for the premiere of Shell during the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. This look was particularly notable as it was an homage to her mother Cindy Crawford, who wore a near-identical design to the 1993 Oscars.

Long live the column skirt.

Kaia Gerber is one of the fashion industry's leading champions of the little black dress. Together with Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner, the trio have formed something of a consortium. Its sole purpose? Broadening LBD representation on the red carpet.

Jenner last made an LBD appearance in March for the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, followed by Gomez, who attended a Netflix premiere wearing a noir gown of her own two months later. Yesterday, it was Gerber's turn to continue pushing the pro-LBD agenda, and she did so enthusiastically, arriving at a photo call in a black dress befitting of the occasion.

On July 30, she made an appearance at a London screening of Hulu's thriller series, The Shards—her latest acting project. Embracing the show's aquatic themes (promo pics take place in a swimming pool), the model posed on an aqua blue carpet wearing a contrasting gown with oceanic themes.

Debuting in early July, Gerber's dress was one of the racier designs seen on Fendi's Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2026 runway. It features a low-low neckline, made all the more dramatic by a sheer bodice.

Vertical ruffled stripes act as a lone textured element, cascading down into a jellyfish-style train (a popular Y2K style). She kept this look as minimalist as can be, styling only with peep-toe pumps and a simple black thong—a distinctly modern styling choice. The finished outfit gave off a palpable, early-2000s feel.

Playing off of her dress's tendril detailing, Gerber swept her hair up into a bun with a few face-framing pieces of its own. After a generous swipe of wet-look lip gloss, the second-generation model looked like a sea creature taught to slay.

During The Shards premiere in New York City, Kaia Gerber told Entertainment Tonight that her mom, Cindy Crawford, was en route. Once both VIPs arrived at the after-party, all eyes went to their twinning sky-high stilettos.

Since Gerber is the star of Ryan Murphy's new thriller, Crawford didn't walk the red carpet. The 24-year-old held down the fashion fort in a custom column dress by Valentino, which featured spaghetti-slim straps, a semi-sheer beaded base, and thousands of rhinestones arranged in a diamond gridlock. Her new stylist, Emma Jade Morrison, paired the nearly-naked design with diamond stud earrings, a feather-trimmed coin purse, and strappy metallic silver sandals. Four itty-bitty bands—two atop her toes and the others around her ankles—kept the five-inch stilettos secure.

Maybe Crawford messaged her daughter for shoe trend inspiration before heading to El Quijote, the Spanish restaurant located inside NYC's Chelsea Hotel. Their styles were cut from the same strap-maxxing cloth.

Minutes later, paparazzi spotted Crawford's post-premiere dress, complete with a silky turquoise-tinted sheen, ruching around the waist, and a slit that stretched up her thigh. The supermodel kept her accessories simple, styling oversized hoop earrings with a chainlink bracelet and an indigo clutch to complement her dress. Then, Crawford slipped on gladiator-looking gold sandals, which could've been on loan from Gerber's shoe rack.

Additional straps aside, she mirrored her daughter's shoe silhouette, down to the buckled ankle bands and super skinny heels. In fact, Gerber wore an almost identical pair at another after-party for the BAFTAs in 2024.

Crawford has always been a proud mom, especially as Gerber makes a name for herself in Hollywood. But at The Shards soirée, she served a look her daughter would be proud of, too.

Whether she's channeling Crawford's little black dresses or stealing something from her archives, Gerber is constantly honoring her mother's personal style. For the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, she wore Crawford's Hervé Léger bandage dress from the 1993 Oscars. That said, it's about time the teacher became the student.

Seeing Kaia Gerber wear a little black dress without ballet flats was just as surprising as the shoe trend she switched into. When every fashion girl and their mother is wearing backless closed-toe heels come fall, you can thank Gerber's anti-summer set on July 27.

Bright and early on Monday morning, Gerber embarked on her press tour for Ryan Murphy's The Shards, before the series hits Hulu on August 5. The thriller takes place in L.A. in the early '80s, but she traded her character's razor-sharp blazers and monochrome jeans outfits for styles straight out of the '90s. For Gerber's surprisingly un-method moment, stylist Emma Jade Morrison dressed her in a sleeveless LBD, complete with glossy satin from boatneck to knee-length hem. (In other words, she was the spitting image of her mother, Cindy Crawford, in the '90s.)

When she's off the clock in L.A., Gerber primarily pairs LBDs with the block-heel ballet flats she designed with French footwear brand Repetto. This time around, the actress stayed true to closed-toe boxes, except the black suede belonged to pointy backless mules from Herbert Levine. If it wasn't for a pedicure-concealing silhouette, the sky-high stilettos would've mirrored the peep-toe pumps trend.

Gerber's slip-on style would've blended in with the shoes on Spring/Summer 2026 runways. Dior debuted a backless pair adorned with oversized 3-D floral appliqués; Loewe slashed the heels off of lemon yellow loafer-looking pumps; and Stella McCartney's strawberry red slides played with V-shaped vamps.

Even with designers endorsing backless mules, peep-toe pumps are the It-shoe to beat this summer. Katie Holmes, Alexa Chung, and Monica Barbaro can't stop styling them as the ultimate flip-flop alternative. But once thong sandals return to storage, celebrities could name backless closed-toe heels their sleek autumnal successor.

Welcome to peak tank top season. While celebrities prepare for the permanent heatwave that is August, summer's less-is-more staple became the ultimate white T-shirt alt. But not all tanks are created equal. Dua Lipa and Gigi Hadid can keep their racerbacks and halters, because on July 23, Kaia Gerber showed even more skin in an itty-bitty camisole.

While walking her dog, Milo, in Beverly Hills, Gerber stayed cool and casual in an all-black athleisure look. She traded the two-inch bands of traditional tanks for the square-neck camisole's super-slim straps. It was completely devoid of any defining features, including a logo, but even without knowing the brand, it screams Kaia Gerber-core. (She can elevate anything—even loungewear like this—just by embracing '90s minimalism.)

The model channeled that same easy-breezy energy from the waist down, leaving her fold-over yoga pants low-rise. If Gerber was en route to the gym (one of the only places she doesn't wear jeans), she might've chosen her chunky New Balance sneakers. But because she reportedly had an appointment with celebrity stylist Emma Jade Morrison (the brain behind her leather cut-out Alaïa dress in June 2026), she stayed loyal to the block-heel ballet flats from her collaboration with French footwear brand Repetto.

The suede black slippers have gotten thousands of steps in this summer, usually alongside Gerber's wide-leg jeans. Now, they have reached new levels of nostalgia with flared yoga pants.

Sometimes, even the most timeless tank tops are too full-coverage for sweltering forecasts. So, Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner, and Dakota Johnson slashed the width of their straps in half, much like Gerber. Do yourself a favor and stock up on similar styles before the next heatwave hits. Securing ballet flats and yoga pants can't hurt, either.

The biggest surprise at the 2026 World Cup Final was the shortage of soccer jerseys in VIP suites. Everyone from Beyoncé to Kylie Jenner traded Team Spain or Team Argentina shirting for summer's biggest essentials: capri pants, Bermuda shorts, etc. Once Spain won, Kaia Gerber's '90s-inspired little black dress continued the tournament's no-jersey trend at Hailey and Justin Bieber's after-party.

Gerber arrived at New York City's The Corner Store looking like a '90s supermodel. Her spaghetti-strap slip dress, leather shoulder bag, and black ballet flats doubled as style portals to an era known for its fashion-forward restraint. On paper, Gerber's LBD wasn't all that different from Bieber's vintage Dior design. Both micro-minis featured delicately slim straps and thigh-sweeping hemlines. However, while Bieber's featured a lingerie-inspired lace trim, Gerber's dress boasted a minimalist rectangular sheer strip along the square neckline.

To finish her post-World Cup outfit, Gerber accessorized with Gucci's best-selling Jackie 1961 Bag and the ballet flats she designed with Parisian footwear label Repetto. Recognize the suede block-heel styles? This year, Gerber hasn't stopped styling them—with jeans outfits, timeless trench coats, and Chanel's Maxi Flap Bag. This latest look further proves that they truly work with everything in the L.A. model's closet.

Back in the '90s, LBDs with the same blend of elegance and ease were a Cindy Crawford Classic; at the time, the supermodel had an affinity for flirty hemlines and risqué straps. Crawford even walked a few runways while wearing LBDs. (See the semi-sheer slip she modeled during a Todd Oldham fashion show in 1997 that's not a far cry from Gerber's look.)

Gerber has often drawn style inspiration from her supermodel mother, and Crawford is no stranger to loaning her 24-year-old daughter a look from her archives, either. For the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, Gerber wore Crawford's Hervé Léger bandage dress from the 1993 Oscars.

Props to Gerber for finding an after-party pick that's cut from the same minimalist cloth as her mother's best '90s dresses. For more LBDs and ballet flats in the same effortlessly chic vein, shop the edit below.

Last October, Chanel's Maxi Flap Bag made its runway debut alongside cap-toe pumps. Now, the classic carry-all can't stop elevating summer shoe trends like heeled flip-flops and soft loafers. On June 29, Chanel's It bag took one of fashion's most divisive designs under its calfskin leather wing: Kaia Gerber's Ugg boots reached ballet flat levels of luxe with her Maxi Flap.

Six weeks after Chanel's best-seller joined Gerber's collection, the two are still very much in the honeymoon phase. Translation: She's still styling the Chanel bag everywhere, including a Monday morning spa session in Beverly Hills. Gerber was spotted post-facial in a cropped black cardigan, matching easy pants, and the top-flap tote fashion girls could ID from a mile away.

She carried the same $9,300, burgundy Maxi Flap in Kendall Jenner's closet, beloved for its slim shoulder straps, bottomless rectangular body, and minimalist branding. The French label's interlocking "C" clasp came in yellow gold, just like the original Spring 2026 style. Despite the four-figure price tag, its structured yet slouchy silhouette matched the effortless, "I just threw this on" energy of her entire off-duty outfit. Yes, even her Uggs.

Gerber's Chanel bag and Ugg boots have more in common than you might think. For instance, her Classic Micro Boots seem to be as brand-new as her Maxi Flap. She styled the low-profile, sheepskin-lined pair in the "Chestnut" color on the Oct. 2025 set of The Shards. These soft suede shoes, however, seem to be a few shades lighter than their $150 predecessors. The model's "Sand" color is also a bit more wallet-friendly, retailing for $139.95 right now.

At this point, Gerber's Uggs collection is nearing its fifth birthday. Contrary to fellow Ugg girls, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, and Jennifer Lawrence, she skipped right past calf-length Classic Short II boots in favor of shorter shafts. Pairing under-$200 Uggs with buzzy designer bags has always been a Kaia Gerber Classic. In 2021, not one, not two, but three different Celine purses were spotted on L.A. strolls with her cropped, pull-tab Ugg boots.

Much like Gomez, Lipa, and Lawrence, Gerber is still widening her Ugg horizons. In April 2025, she traded Micro Boots for even easier, Rihanna-approved Tasman Slippers. The grab-and-go slides have been MIA since last summer, though. But if Micro Boots can match the Maxi Flap's uncomplicated charm, who's to say Tasmans can't, too?

Kaia Gerber is doubling up on little white dresses this summer. Earlier this week, the model launched the Dôen x Library Science Dress, a dreamy white design with a square neckline, the proceeds of which benefit the global non-profit Room to Read.

On Friday, June 18, Gerber attended the Summer Uni Party, in support of the ocean-powered body brand's founder, Alexandra Keating. The same day, the model and actress was announced as Uni's very first creative partner in residence.

For the event, the Palm Royale star switched out her darling Dôen dress for another little white mini dress, this time from Calvin Klein Collection. With skinny straps, cut-out side panels, and pockets, the sleek dress is ideal for the increasingly hot weather.

Gerber styled her $1,500 Calvin Klein Collection Henrietta Woven Mini Dress with a white head scarf and a pair of chunky square-toe pumps with asymmetrical heels.

Gerber's minimalist styling is the perfect example of how to wear a little white dress this summer. With pared back accessories and footwear that perfectly matches her outfit, the model appears to have mastered the art of the little white dress.

Basically, if you're ready to hop on the little white dress trend, just look to Gerber for inspiration.

Two years ago, one dress completely changed my reading game. Dôen collaborated with Kaia Gerber's book club, Library Science, on a babydoll nightgown made for binge-reading sessions. Two years later, the dream duo reunited to romanticize my TBR list with another little white dress.

On June 18, the morning after I finished Tia Williams's new novel, The Missed Connection, Gerber and her co-founder, writer Alyssa Reeder, launched the "dreamy little day dress" I can't wait to start reading my next series in. Library Science teamed up with "our friends at Dôen to support [the global non-profit] Room to Read and their work to champion girls’ literacy," the online book club revealed via Instagram.

According to Dôen's post, the brands designed the '60s-inspired Cordelia Dress with "dreamy summer reading and vacation escapes in mind." Its wider than spaghetti straps, crisp cotton poplin, square neckline, and thigh-high, lace-trimmed hemline make the dress the definition of effortless.

Peach-colored ribbon—intertwined through the embroidered bust—channeled the girlish charm of a vintage nightie. Library Science's logo appeared a few inches south of the torso's vertical pleats, in pale pink to match the neckline's bow. Much like other options in Dôen's dress catalog, both brands designed it to be multi-purpose. According to the label's notes, the $298 mini can be styled as "an easy daytime dress, a swim cover-up, or a nightgown."

Gerber went with the first option, styling it alongside oversize yellow gold hoops. If she were to wear it out in L.A., I suspect she'd accessorize with ballet flats from her collaboration with French footwear brand Repetto. The model might even stack Library Science's book tote over the lacy shoulder strap.

Each Dôen x Library Science collections spotlights a singular style. In Dec. 2024, the pair introduced the Lillian Nightgown, complete with scalloped eyelet trim and a baby blue bow. Fans have been begging for a restock for months, but like the Cordelia, it was limited-edition.

This time around, Dôen and Library Science dropped a summer reading list alongside the dress. It includes Gerber's July book pick, Eric Rohmer’s novel Èlisabeth, followed by Ruins, Child by Giada Scodellaro, Repetition by Vigdis Hjorth, Fairy Tales by Robert Walser, and more.

Gerber and I aren't the only fashion people on a reading kick right now. Last summer, Dior's new creative director, Jonathan Anderson, took a literal approach to the beloved Book Tote, decorating it with Western classic book covers. Flip ahead to 2026, and Coach's functioning Book Charms went viral on the Brooklyn and Tabby bags of Elle Fanning, Storm Reid, and more.

Then, there are the celebrity book clubs, which just keep coming. Dakota Johnson, Dua Lipa, and Gerber are welcoming new members by the day. Owning a Dôen dress isn't a requirement for Library Science membership, but if it was, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid, and Elsa Hosk would be invited to the next reading.

Kaia Gerber is currently in Paris, France, where she attended the JR x Evan Spiegel party at Langosteria inside the Cheval Blanc Paris Hotel on June 5, 2026. For her solo red carpet appearance, the Palm Royale star opted for an unforgettable Alaïa dress and a pair of black heeled mules.

For the outing, Gerber styled for Alaïa's Bustier Draped Jersey Midi Dress, which combines a paneled leather bodice with cut-outs and an asymmetric draped skirt. The dress retails for $5,985, and masterfully pairs different fabrics and textures to create an edgy look.

The model and actress kept her accessories to a minimum by wearing a pair of black patent heeled open-toe mules—Paris Texas's Lidia Mule 105.

In a January 2026 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Gerber opened up about what she's learned from mom Cindy Crawford. "She doesn't give out advice unless you ask," the model shared. "But if you ask, get ready, because she'll be very honest in ways that, sometimes, it's hard to hear."

Gerber continued, "She's usually right, which is infuriating, but she's also very willing to let me make a mistake that she made 30 years ago."

With her sleek and pared back Alaïa dress, Gerber has proven, once again, she's most definitely following in Crawford's footsteps.

I don't remember the last time I styled a basic white T-shirt. Why would I when Kaia Gerber's summer tops make my street style stand out? Days after she debuted my dream halter and lingerie-inspired tops, Gerber proved the boatneck trend is made for minimalists like us. I'm storing away my white tees as we speak.

Just last week, Gerber told Who What Wear New York City style is "more inspiring" to her than L.A. So, it's no surprise she couldn't stay away for long. Gerber's classic black boatneck top immediately helped her blend in with the locals. The horizontal neckline defied crewneck limits and stretched along her collarbone, all the way to the start of her shoulders. Three-quarter-length sleeves and a downward drooping hem completed the ladylike look.

Much like her latest summer tops, the boatneck wasn't any less easy-breezy than a trusty T-shirt. It simply felt a bit more intentionally chosen. Gerber seemingly picked the $68 Rina Long Sleeve from Cou Cou Intimates, which the London label called "an ode to 60s icon Jane Birkin." It's no surprise she gravitated toward such a timeless style—she revealed "Jane Birkin is my forever style muse" in the same WWW interview.

All Gerber's best summer tops have been styled with equally-enviable jeans. Following dark and mid-wash pairs, this time she went somewhere in between with vintage jeans from Japanese denim brand Edwin. (Bright orange Ws embroidered into each back pocket gave them away.) Gerber wore an almost identical pair with the aforementioned lingerie top last week. Even her black bow-tied ballet flats felt familiar.

Slowly but surely, boatneck tops like Gerber's are becoming the trademark T-shirt for 2026. Perhaps the Library Science founder saw Devon Lee Carlson or Hailey Bieber endorse the silhouette earlier this year. In fact, Bieber owns the same Cou Cou Intimates long-sleeve, except in stark white. There's no way I'm trading this trend for plain white tees anytime soon.
