It’s a big week in fashion ahead of the Met Gala. Ayo Edebiri leads the charge in a Broadway-inspired Chanel look, while Fendi announces a return to Rome for Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first couture show, and Cou Cou and Adwoa Aboah come together for Mental Health Awareness Month. Elsewhere, Paolo Roversi is set for a major retrospective, and there are new collaborations we can’t get enough of.

Earlier this week on Late Night with Seth Meyers, actress Ayo Edebiri wore a look inspired by the late actress and Broadway legend Elaine Stritch’s iconic uniform: a white men’s shirt styled simply over black tights. No trousers, naturally.

Her shirt, designed by Chanel in collaboration with Parisian shirtmaker Charvet, comes from Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection. It reworks classic menswear tailoring in crisp cotton poplin, with a structured collar, elongated cuffs, and a slightly lengthened silhouette. The signature Chanel chain weights are sewn into the hem of the shirt to help it fall cleanly and stay sharp on the body.

Ayo, a Chanel ambassador, joins other recent wearers of the piece including Nicole Kidman, Jacob Elordi, Jessie Buckley, and Charlotte Casiraghi. Even though she wasn’t at Chanel’s Cruise show in Biarritz, she still brought the brand to New York while promoting her starring role in Proof, which marks her Broadway debut.  

Turns out the Broadway uniform hasn’t really needed updating after all.
