Ayo Edebiri, who has taken Hollywood by storm with her portrayal of Sydney Adamu on FX’s ‘The Bear’, was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2024 Emmy Awards, where she, once again, solidified her status not only as a rising star but also as a fashion force.
While Bottega Veneta and Ayo have yet to make things official, the connection between the two is unmistakable. This isn’t just a casual fling—it’s a blossoming love affair that’s giving us serious sartorial sparks. Matthieu Blazy crafted a look that felt like the ultimate declaration of admiration: a custom starfish sequin long dress inspired by the Bottega Veneta Resort 2025 collection.
The gown was a delicate blend of whimsy and sophistication that elevated Ayo’s presence on the carpet. While some may prefer her in the sleek, minimalist ensembles we saw her champion during awards season—often leaning into pared-down elegance—I’m firmly team flair when it comes to Ayo. There’s something magnetic about the way this dress aligns with her vibrant personality, creating a synergy between her fashion choices and her on-screen dynamism.
Yes, minimalism suits her, but there’s an undeniable joy when she leans into more expressive fashion.
