Julia Butters – Schoolgirl Chic, Reimagined for NYC Streets • CelebMafia

Julia Butters, captured outside ABC studios in New York City on July 28, 2025, offered a refreshingly playful take on the polo dress, a classic reinterpreted with youthful verve—and a subtle nod to tailored sophistication. (One always wonders how long it takes for such calculated casualness to become a thing, doesn’t one?)

There’s something utterly charming about a young star who understands the power of a well-executed fashion paradox. And when Julia Butters stepped out from ABC studios in New York City on July 28, 2025, her ensemble was precisely that: a masterful blend of casual sportswear and polished femininity. It was a moment of delightful irony, an almost schoolgirl charm given a thoroughly modern, very New York, twist.

The dress itself is a deep olive green, a hue that often carries an air of utility or military precision, yet here, it’s rendered in a soft, perhaps even knit, fabric that hugs the bodice before flaring out into a playfully pleated mini-skirt. The top half, a classic polo collar with a few buttons, grounds the look in an athletic, almost preppy sensibility. But the silhouette! Fitted at the waist, cinched almost imperceptibly, it gives way to a surprisingly voluminous, almost couture-like mini-skskirt. It’s a dress that seems to say, “I just threw this on,” while simultaneously screaming, “Every detail has been considered.” A clever play on proportions, indeed.
