On Monday night, Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor graced ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ where they shared delightful stories—Rachel meeting Jennifer Aniston, Kit receiving advice from his ‘Heartstopper’ co-star Joe Locke, and the thrill of performing in front of an interactive audience for Broadway’s ‘Romeo + Juliet.’
The charm of their guest appearance wasn’t just in their anecdotes but also in their chemistry, something that’s essential for selling any version of ‘Romeo + Juliet.’
Actors usually appear solo for late-night talk shows, but bringing both Rachel and Kit together felt fitting for this iconic love story. Their natural rapport was evident, and it certainly helped sell the passion and connection needed for this Broadway rendition. Their appearance was as much about the chemistry as it was about the style they brought to the stage.
Rachel Zegler wore Courrèges Undressed ribbed-knit dress from the Fall 2024 collection featuring a half revealed bustier with a draped strap, a detail reminiscent of the Miu Miu dress Kylie Jenner wore last week. It made me wonder—are we witnessing the rise of a new trend?
Another intriguing element was the asymmetrical hem, which Rachel opted to hold, probably to avoid tripping over it.
Rachel’s choice was elevated with elegant Anabela Chan and Rosario Navia jewels, alongside simple black pumps, creating a sophisticated yet trendy ensemble.
Kit Connor, who is making his Broadway and Jimmy Fallon debut, delivered an autumnal fashion moment. He wore a cork-hued suit from Our Legacy, featuring wide, sharp peak lapels, paired with a black John Smedley sweater. The rich, warm colour of his suit felt perfect for the season, grounded by black Acne Studios boots. The look was completed with a TAG Heuer timepiece, adding a touch of classic sophistication.
Together, their joint appearance showed us why they’re the perfect pair for this production.
