Before Hollywood dives headfirst into a jam-packed awards weekend—including tonight’s Critics’ Choice Awards, plus the PGA and DGA Awards on Saturday—Ayo Edebiri made a stylish pit stop at the rescheduled AFI Awards luncheon on Thursday. Originally delayed due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles, the event finally took place, with Ayo proving that sometimes, less really is more.
The Bear actress effortlessly nailed laidback chic in a black Proenza Schouler ensemble, pairing a crisp cotton shirt with the Phia leather fringe skirt from the Spring 2025 collection.
Now, let’s talk about that skirt. It beguiles with cascading tiers of fringe that tumble to an asymmetrical hemline, creating movement with every step.
The shirt is long enough to obscure the most interesting detail, so I love how she casually half-tucked it into the skirt. This nonchalant styling gives the look an easy sophistication. It’s all about that cool-girl confidence—like she just threw it on and walked out the door looking this good.
With simple strappy mules keeping the focus on the textures, Ayo lets the ensemble do the talking. It’s minimal effort, maximum impact—a signature move for her.
With a weekend full of big gowns and statement looks ahead, this was a refreshing, effortlessly chic moment before the fashion madness begins.
