Miranda Cosgrove redefined talk show outfit expectations on The Drew Barrymore Show, debuting a stunningly textured, plaid event appearance that felt both cozy and rebellious.
The modern celebrity event look for a television appearance is a delicate balance: polished enough for broadcast, yet interesting enough to spark fashion conversation. Miranda Cosgrove, appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show on September 24, 2025, struck this balance perfectly by leaning into a nostalgic print and giving it an audacious, high-wattage update.
Cosgrove chose a long-sleeved mini shirtdress featuring a warm, autumnal brown and off-white plaid. On its own, the garment would suggest cozy, collegiate chic, but the genius lies in the fabrication: the entire surface is scattered with crystal or metallic studs, which catch the studio light, transforming the casual shirting material into a piece of evening-ready glam. The short, leggy hemline and the long sleeves create a compelling silhouette—modesty balanced by playful exposure.
The tv appearance was anchored by sleek, pointed-toe heels in a rich, dark brown or burgundy hue, emphasizing the fall color palette and providing a sharp contrast to the soft lines of the dress. Accessories were minimal but intentional: a substantial silver-toned watch acts as a functional piece of jewelry, while simple earrings maintain focus on the elaborate texture of the dress. With her dark hair centrally parted and her makeup natural and radiant, Cosgrove’s overall styling expertly merged the ’90s grunge playbook with contemporary sparkle, providing a much-needed jolt of personality to the usual press event style.
