The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Perfected Low-Key Elegance

Low-key style doesn’t have to mean a casual outfit. In fact, according to this week’s best dressed celebrities, pared-back elegance is a surefire way to make your dressy look pop. Sleek, streamlined silhouettes dominated the red carpet this week—with A-listers such as Zoe Kravitz, Jenna Ortega, and Bella Hadid choosing designs that quietly made an impact. It was all about choosing tasteful details and interesting fabrications that made a simple frock turn heads.

At an Orbella event in West Hollywood, for one, Bella Hadid slipped into a blush-pink Zuhair Murad gown; What the slinky piece lacked in volume or color drama, it made up for in intricate appliqué work. Ditto for Selena Gomez, who attended an Only Murders premiere in a fresh take on a classic LBD: Her Self-Portrait design featured a halter-style neckline and bejeweled crystal bow.

There were a few more sculptural shapes that dominated the step and repeats, too. FKA twigs chose a vintage Armani column gown for the premiere of The Crow, while Naomi Ackie looked to Loewe’s avant-garde white draped gown for the Blink Twice premiere in London.

At the Democratic National Convention, meanwhile, the tasteful and streamlined looks on former First Lady Michelle Obama, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris all struck a chord as well. Harris looked to structured suiting from Chloé, while Obama chose a well-cut Monse set, and Biden a glitzy Ralph Lauren sequin dress (one of her favorite American designers).
