Ariana DeBose made a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, sharing starstruck moments with Morgan Freeman, dining next to Al Pacino (casual), dishing on her new movie Love Hurts with Ke Huy Quan and NFL legend Marshawn Lynch.
The Oscar-winner stepped out in a navy Self-Portrait blazer from the Spring 2025 collection, worn as a dress.
I love a good blazer dress moment. It’s the ultimate power move—boardroom chic meets after-hours glam. But here’s the thing: The key to nailing this look is ensuring the blazer is long enough and structured enough to pass as a full outfit. And while Ariana’s choice technically checks that first box (barely), I can’t help but feel that the silhouette is lacking the precision needed for a true blazer dress moment.
It leans more “I borrowed my stylish boyfriend’s blazer” than “sharp and snatched tailoring.” A little extra cinching or a more defined shape would have sold the look with more conviction.
But let’s give credit where it’s due: Ariana owns this look with pure confidence. The crystal embellishments bring the dazzle, and her ultra-sleek, pin-straight hair cascading down her back? Absolute perfection.
