With Saturday Night Live set to feature Charli XCX as both host and musical guest this weekend, the singer stepped out for rehearsals in a look that proves utility wear can be chic. Spotted in New York on Tuesday, Charli wore a Saint Laurent Spring 2024 jumpsuit that’s a masterclass in how to rock a utility suit without channeling your neighbourhood mechanic.
This jumpsuit, inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic ’70s Saharienne jacket, captures that perfect blend of power dressing, Parisian cool, and understated elegance. The design boasts a boxy top-half with a cinched, belted waist and slouchy, pocketed trouser legs. It’s a piece that balances structure and ease, making it equal parts utility and fashion. Saint Laurent has taken the workwear staple and elevated it into a garment that radiates sophistication — not an easy feat with a silhouette rooted in function.
Now, it’s not just the jumpsuit itself but also the details that make this look soar. The muted colour brings an element of refinement, while the belt gives the jumpsuit a shapely edge, counteracting any boxiness. And let’s talk about the accessories: the Saint Laurent Voltaire bag, which some might consider a little dainty for this kind of piece, adds a touch of luxury. Then there are the Bottega Veneta intrecciato leather gloves, combating the New York chill, along with the Y2K wraparound shades that lend a nostalgic cool.
But as always, it’s Charli’s attitude that truly sells this look. Embodying that effortless Saint Laurent vibe that turns utility into something effortlessly chic.
