At NYLON House in the Desert in Thermal, CA, April 2026, Olivia Holt and Kelli Berglund went opposite directions: leather-over-lace vs. open-collar knit with denim Bermuda shorts—and the footwear choices matter.
Two looks, two totally different playbooks—and that’s what makes this photo fun to pick apart.
Olivia Holt shows up at NYLON House in the Desert in Thermal, CA on April 10, 2026 leaning into an all-black, nightlife-leaning combo: a black leather jacket worn open over a black satin mini with a peek of lace trim at the hem. And yes, the slim black sunglasses are doing a lot of the attitude work here. Short, sleek, and intentional.
Kelli Berglund goes the opposite direction for the same NYLON House moment—more daytime, more relaxed. She’s in a light, textured button-front top (collar open, neckline intentionally low) with mid-wash denim Bermuda shorts finished with a raw, frayed hem. Different vibe. Same sunglasses shape. Kind of a perfect “two friends, same event, totally different comfort zones” snapshot.
But I keep going back and forth on the shoes. Olivia’s white flip-flops push her look into that desert-afterparty practicality (cute, but it undercuts the sleekness a bit), while Kelli’s black strappy sandals feel more aligned with her outfit’s clean, minimal direction.
If you track celebrity style long enough, you’ll notice this exact split happening a lot right now: one person goes full “night-out black,” the other commits to a breezy, skin-and-denim formula. So which one would you actually wear when you’re standing around taking photos for an hour?
My takeaway: keep the sunglasses, then pick one lane—either lean fully polished, or fully practical.
