At the Variety Entertainment Marketing Summit 2026 in Los Angeles, Ashley Graham wore a tan leather corset with a black skirt for the event appearance – and the texture changes the tone.
That corset is loud.
Ashley Graham showed up at the Variety Entertainment Marketing Summit 2026, presented by Deloitte, in a strapless tan leather corset that refused to blend into the usual business-panel uniform. For a high-profile event appearance, she skipped the safe blazer and went straight for impact.
The top is structured, strapless, and sharply fitted through the waist, cut in panels that give it that old-school corset shape. The leather has a glossy finish – almost like polished saddle material – catching the light across the front. It’s warm caramel against her skin, and it reads bold without tipping into costume.
And then the black skirt.
High-waisted, full, and matte, it softens the hardness of the corset. The shape widens from the waist down, creating a strong contrast between tight and volume. The mix works. But it’s risky. Leather at a marketing summit could’ve felt try-hard. On her, it lands controlled.
Her hair is long and side-parted, falling over one shoulder in smooth waves. Gold hoop earrings, stacked rings, clean makeup with a glossy lip. Nothing competing with the top.

As a celebrity event look, this leans closer to red carpet energy than panel discussion polish. And honestly? That’s the point. She’s promoting a cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2, expanding her resume, talking business. The corset says she’s not shrinking herself to fit the room.
The leather carries the whole thing; everything else is there to keep it from going overboard.
