Lily James Debuts Oversized Plaid Power Suit at TIFF Deadline Studio – Sept 2025

Her outfit: a grey plaid double-breasted suit, oversized in all the right places. The blazer, worn sans shirt, created a plunging neckline that balanced structure with sensuality. The shoulders were pronounced, the cut boxy, and the fabric—likely wool or a brushed suiting blend—held its shape with architectural precision. The wide-legged trousers pooled slightly over black pointed-toe shoes, grounding the look in classic tailoring while nodding to 2020s streetwear proportions.

It’s a silhouette that’s been gaining traction in celebrity fashion circles—oversized, gender-fluid, and unapologetically bold. But James made it her own with subtle styling choices: no visible jewelry, no handbag, no distractions. Just the suit, the stance, and the attitude.

Her hair, long and wavy, cascaded over her shoulders with a lived-in texture that softened the suit’s severity. Makeup was kept neutral—matte skin, brushed brows, and a muted lip—allowing the outfit’s geometry to take center stage. Her pose, one hand on the hip and the other relaxed, radiated confidence without veering into stiffness. It was red carpet minimalism with editorial edge.
