While Blake Lively went full retro for the Another Simple Favor photocall in London, Anna Kendrick showed up to the Corinthia Hotel and decided simple and chic was the way to go.
Wearing a RIXO London Ingrida waistcoat and Stefania mini skirt, Anna’s look had just a whisper of ’80s inspiration, but not in a way that felt overly nostalgic. It was more in the silhouette and sharpness of the waistcoat—the clean lines, the gold buttons, and the undeniable confidence that comes with an outfit that doesn’t try too hard.
What I love about this is the restraint. Anna could’ve gone full look book with the layers, but she opted for ease instead. The bare arms and clean neckline gave the look breathing room, while the gold jewellery and Christian Louboutin pumps subtly echoed those gold accents on the waistcoat, tying everything together with just the right amount of polish.
In a world where photocalls can sometimes turn into theatrical performances, Anna delivered a look that’s perfectly understated but still quietly strong. It had a bit of edge, a dash of retro charm, and a whole lot of real-world wearability.
If Blake was the cinematic trailer, Anna was the scene that makes you stay for the plot.
