Lily James knows how to make minimalism feel maximal. At the New York screening of Hulu’s “Swiped,” she stepped onto the carpet in a black-on-black ensemble that whispered elegance while nodding to downtown edge.
Her outfit was a study in tailored restraint: a sleeveless black top—structured, slightly cropped, and buttoned down the front—paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers that pooled just enough to suggest ease without sacrificing sharpness. The silhouette was clean, modern, and quietly commanding. It evoked the kind of power dressing that doesn’t need shoulder pads or sequins to make its point.
In a second look from the event, James added a cropped blazer to the mix—same trousers, same top, but with a layer that shifted the tone from sleek to editorial. The blazer, with its slightly boxy cut and sharp lapels, added structure and a hint of masculine energy, balancing the femininity of her fitted top.
