6 Cool Outfit Ideas, Courtesy of Fashion’s Newest It Girl

The ascent of Taylor Russell is one many in Hollywood aspire to. The Canadian-born actress has been on the rise since starring in films like A24’s Waves and Escape Room in 2021, but it was with the 2022 Luca Guadagnino-directed film Bones and All that Russell officially arrived. The off-beat romantic horror (which co-stars Timothee Chalamet) received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes and won big at last year’s Venice Film Festival including a win for Russell for best young actor. And while Russell’s acting chops are drumming up enough buzz, the actress has opened up a whole new lane through her fashion.

A good press tour largely goes unnoticed, but a great one can make a star. By the end of Bones and All‘s festival circuit, Russell emerged as a one-to-watch It-girl, serving up hit after hit on the red carpet. Styled by Ryan Hastings, she donned a series of one-of-a-kind looks, including archival Alaia and Vivienne Westwood, along with a slew of couture looks from Schiaparelli. Needless to say, the fashion industry has taken notice: Harper’s Bazaar and W Magazine covers quickly followed. Bookending such a big year, the actress became a Global Ambassador for Loewe last November. “I’ve never been so inspired by someone. It was the start of a very special friendship and I just thought, she has to open the show. I’m so proud she agreed,” said Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson of the appointment. If Anderson is obsessed with you, you’re definitely doing something right.  

Russell’s sleek and cool-girl glamour has certainly generated some excitement over here, too. Below, see some of her pivotable red-carpet moments, along with 6 outfit ideas we’re unashamedly borrowing from the rising star.
