A belted leather jacket, mini skirt, and patent bag — Lily James’ New York street style moment proves everyday outfits can double as urban fashion statements.
Lily James turned the Manhattan sidewalk into her runway on September 19, 2025, heading to a taping of Good Morning America in a look that fused cinematic polish with streetwise ease.
Her outfit was a masterclass in tonal leather dressing: a Prada nappa leather jacket in rich cognac, belted at the waist and finished with a scarf detail that added both movement and structure. Paired with a matching Prada mini skirt, the silhouette was sharp yet fluid, a nod to 1970s power dressing reimagined for 2025.
Accessories elevated the look into editorial territory. Dmy Studios Juno sunglasses framed her face with angular precision, while the Prada Galleria Patent Leather Mini Bag in white provided a crisp counterpoint to the warm leather tones. On her feet, Prada antiqued leather pumps in white elongated the line of the leg, their pointed toe and slim heel balancing the mini skirt’s proportions.
Her hair — long, wavy, and loose — softened the structured leather, while makeup remained understated, letting the textures and cuts take center stage. The overall effect was one of effortless composure: a celebrity spotted moment that felt both paparazzi-ready and editorially styled.
Culturally, the look taps into a broader revival of leather as a daytime staple. Once reserved for outerwear, tonal leather sets are now being embraced as full outfits — a trend seen on runways from Milan to New York. James’ ensemble embodies this shift, proving that leather can be casual chic, everyday outfit, and front-row fashion all at once.
