There’s always something special about getting a front row seat to someone’s star-making ascent. Sarah Pidgeon stars as Caroline Bassett Kennedy in FX’s new anthology series love story There is nothing less than this. While every shot of her smiling, tossing her hair or trying to hide behind the lenses of her Selima Optic sunglasses has thrust Pidgeon into the spotlight, the show’s costumes have spawned countless replicas for those hoping to mimic her wardrobe filled with Prada knitwear, Yohji Yamamoto white shirts and Levi’s jeans.
On screen, she dazzles as the former Calvin Klein campaigner who wins the heart of America’s prince, John. F. Kennedy Jr., played by the equally charming Paul Anthony Kelly. Off-duty, the actress approaches fashion with the same effortless elegance and sophisticated ease that her character does, quickly becoming both a must-see and a wardrobe to behold.
It’s a Hollywood template we’ve seen before – a breakout star becomes an overnight sensation, their unexpected success making them a fashion darling in no time. And while the limited series has just finished, it’s already found favor with people like these After wearing a series of new season designs from outgoing creative director Matthieu Blazi on the show’s press tour, Chanel tried her hand at Method dressing by wearing a custom Calvin Klein including a clutch inspired by the CK One perfume bottle at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, and capped off a stellar fashion week by appearing at Prada and Loewe shows.
Yet, given the mystery that surrounds CBK, it feels as if his vein of laid-back coolness has somehow transferred itself to Pidgeon. Call it some strange form of sartorial osmosis, but Pidgeon’s own street style has become a fashion phenomenon. One has to wonder how the imagination would run out if she ditched the ’90s minimalism and returned to her natural chocolate brown hair color. Regardless, this conscious choice to marry his own career advancement with the style of the role he plays is one that’s inspired and is certainly influencing how many of us are dressing this spring.
Carefully curated by her stylist Emma Jade Morrison, Pidgeon has come to embody the lightness and brevity of the current season. From coats brimming with personality to pencil skirts that create a stir in an instant, each outfit is a masterclass in sophisticated simplicity. I know I’m not alone when I say this is exactly the way I want my spring outfits to look, so I’ve taken it upon myself to break down all the essentials you need to pull off Sarah Pidgeon’s best street style look yet. From tailored jackets to slouchy knitwear, highlight her capsule wardrobe staples ahead.
