Kaitlyn Dever’s tailored leather trousers and minimalist black top brought quiet drama to the Michael Kors runway crowd—an ode to structure, not spectacle.
In a season where fashion is flirting with excess, Kaitlyn Dever arrived at the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2026 show in New York with a look that whispered power rather than shouted it. On September 11, 2025, she stepped into the minimalist venue—brick walls, concrete floors, gallery-like benches—wearing an outfit that felt like a study in proportion and restraint.
Dever’s ensemble centered around the Michael Kors Collection Kaitlin leather trouser belt—a standout piece that anchored her high-waisted, wide-legged brown trousers. The pants featured pleated detailing and a sculptural silhouette, cinched dramatically at the waist with an oversized belt that added architectural tension. Paired with a sleeveless black top, the look balanced volume and simplicity, creating a silhouette that was both commanding and fluid.
She carried a dark clutch bag—structured, compact, and quietly luxe. Pointed-toe shoes in a matching tone elongated the leg line and reinforced the outfit’s clean geometry. Jewelry was minimal or absent, allowing the textures and tailoring to take center stage. The accessories didn’t compete—they completed.
Michael Kors has long been a master of American luxury, but this look felt more like a nod to European minimalism—think Phoebe Philo-era Céline with a New York twist. In a week dominated by color and volume, Dever’s choice to go full neutral was a deliberate counterpoint. It’s the kind of celebrity style that doesn’t chase trends—it sets them.
