Omar Sy should always wear green

The French actor famed for The Intouchables and Lupin is rocking the colour. Perhaps he’s auditioning to be the next Wizard of Oz?

Jaden Smith’s striking cape

When the cape is that fierce and you have some nifty facial accessories, a sharp black suit lets the other parts of your ensemble shine.

Monica Barbaro in Dior

A Dior jacket and A-line skirt ensemble silhouette is unmistakable, and we love Monica Barbaro’s porkpie hat which is giving off Buster Keaton.

Hailey arrived with Kendall in similarly themed threads, donning a Saint Laurent tuxedo jacket as a dress.
