Michelle Randolph wore a black lace-trimmed slip dress to the Paramount+ Icons of Taylor Sheridan's Universe event in New York, April 2026 — but the boudoir vibe feels risky for the room.
It’s a bold play. Michelle Randolph showed up to the Paramount+ event for The Icons of Taylor Sheridan’s Universe in New York this April 2026 wearing what looks like a nightie. Look, the lingerie-as-outerwear trend isn’t new, but I’m not convinced it lands here. The black satin mini dress features lace trim and silk rosettes at the bust, giving it a heavy boudoir feel that doesn’t quite match the rugged, Western-adjacent vibe of a Sheridan production.
The fit is fine, and the charcoal sheen of the fabric catches the light well enough. However, the deep plunge held together by a thin strap feels more suited for a late-night after-party than a press panel. She grounded the look with black open-toe heels featuring crystal-embellished buckles, which add a needed touch of polish. Still, the whole public appearance feels a bit disconnected from the occasion.
I don’t hate the dress, but I do hate the timing. Sometimes a slip dress is just a slip dress, and this one feels like it’s missing a structured blazer or a sharp coat to make it feel like a complete celebrity event look. It’s the kind of celebrity red carpet choice that relies entirely on Michelle Randolph in black lace dress to do the heavy lifting.
Is the slip dress officially overstaying its welcome as a formal option?
