With temperatures in New York feeling slightly less like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow—and far from the arctic conditions Sydney Sweeney braved for her winter wardrobe masterclass—Monica Barbaro was spotted in Midtown on Wednesday, heading to SiriusXM Studios to continue promoting her new film, A Complete Unknown.
If this press tour has taught us anything, it’s that Monica loves a slinky dress moment. But this time, she switched things up, opting for a more laid back, street-chic vibe in a beige balloon gathered hem jacket and cropped trousers from Loewe’s Resort 2025 collection.
At first glance, it’s a relatively straightforward outfit—until you clock the clever double waistband situation. The top band gives the illusion of boxer shorts peeking out, which is exactly the kind of playful, expectation-subverting detail we’ve come to expect from Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe. It’s casual with a wink.
The cropped trousers added a relaxed touch to the silhouette, while Loewe’s brown Onda pumps provided a polished finish.
I have a feeling some will find that mock waistband detail divisive, but for me, it’s just the right amount of quirk for a daytime promo appearance. What can I say? I love a fashion wildcard.
Stylist: Jeanann Williams.
