The other noteworthy addition (besides her supermodel approved slicked back bun and vampish red manicure)? The star’s chosen shoe. Instead of leaning into the drama of her look with a vertiginous killer court, Gomez opted for a classic black Mary Jane with a kitten heel. Of course, Mary Janes have been impossible to avoid in recent months, with cool girls styling their The Row flats with jorts or ankle socks and floaty dresses, and even the Princess of Wales getting in on the action in recent days. (Kate attended the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle wearing cap toe Mary Janes by Jennifer Chamandi with her vintage inspired Alessandra Rich polka dot dress.) Perhaps Selena decided a sky high heel was de trop for her stint on the continent. Stilettos certainly seemed to fall out of favor with the stars at Cannes earlier this year. Who could forget Katie Holmes’s arrival on the Croisette in the world’s teeniest, tiniest kitten heel? As And Just Like That’s Lisa Todd Wexley, Nicole Ari Parker brings her fashion A game to our screens. She’s one of the Max series’s best dressed characters, after all, so it’s only natural that she channeled Lisa’s immaculate—and glamorous—wardrobe for the season two premiere in New York last night. Wearing custom Valentino, the actor joined the rest of the cast and crew at the Crosby Hotel to fête the brand new episodes. “Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon deserved to be celebrated for creating this legacy for 25 years,” says Parker. “We all got dressed up Everybody that worked on the show was there. It was very small and wonderful.”
For the intimate affair, Parker landed on Valentino’s chic “school girl” look, styled by Ade Samuel and designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli. It consisted of a wide, coral faille skirt with a long train, paired with a pink chiffon buttoned up top and tie. Turns out, the school uniform inspiration was a deeply personal tie in to Parker. “I went to a private school from second grade to 12th grade, so I wore a uniform pretty much my entire childhood,” says Parker. “Even though I love amazing clothing and avant garde pieces, theres something in me that’s still kind of buttoned up and preppy. He made this gorgeous, rockstar prep school gown.” When she put it on, the design instantly felt her. “I felt like my best self,” she says. “The coral color was perfect for early summer.” Makeup artist Vincent Oquendo and hairstylist Nai’vasha did a soft, elegant glam to go with it.
