Grace Van Patten Unveils Press Event Glen Check Edge

The actress commands the talk show outfit circuit, debuting a sharply tailored McQueen glen check dress paired with commanding leather boots.

In the midst of a demanding press tour for two high-profile projects, Grace Van Patten delivered a masterclass in focused, powerful media event dressing outside CBS Studios in New York City on September 25, 2025. Her look, anchored by an ensemble from the McQueen Resort 2026 collection, perfectly captured the brand’s core tension between heritage and rebellion. The central piece is a sleeveless mini dress rendered in a classic beige and brown glen check wool .

The dress’s design is a study in controlled chaos, featuring an elegant mock turtleneck and asymmetrical tailoring that cinches at the waist with dramatic, artful drapery, giving the traditional plaid a modern, kinetic energy. It’s this architectural silhouette—sharp, precise, and yet fluid—that makes the piece such a statement on the tv appearance promotional circuit.

The choice of styling cemented the look’s defiant attitude. Rejecting a “softer autumn mood,” Van Patten opted for black leather knee-high boots that pierce the traditional fabric with a stark, modern toughness. Paired with opaque black tights, the boots create a long, uninterrupted line of dark drama against the tailored fabric. She accessorized with a black, pebbled-leather Mini T-Bar bag, recognizable by its structured shape and distinct silver metal top handle—a small accessory with immense visual weight. With her hair in textured blonde waves and minimal, fresh makeup, the look is perfectly calibrated: chic, intelligent, and utterly in command of the current cultural moment.
