The Coolest Looks Of The Week, From A$AP Rocky To Sienna Miller

Celebrities chill out

There’s a lot going on this week, and fashion took something of a back seat if you weren’t at Glastonbury and even that was pretty uneventful. Which is fine actually, after the growing dominance of head-to-toe branded looks and attempts to break the internet, seeing stars like Sienna Miller in a basic (but surely expensive) festival outfit is a palette cleanser. She’s on the list this week, as are several dad-coded denim outings, and examples of how to show individuality without trying too hard.

A$AP Rocky

Is this another secret Bottega Veneta campaign? Maybe. Does he look great? Absolutely. A shirt and tie are a winning combination right now, and it gets me every time.

Troye Sivan and Charli XCX

Brat season keeps delivering. This time it’s Troye and Charli looking terrific together — they performed at Wembley arena — in these bratty little outfits. The abbreviated tracksuit is inspired, and Troye looks perfectly Troye.

Usher

He’s on a roll isn’t he, following that very dapper turn at Capitol Hill with this cool ensemble at the BET Awards. It’s Ralph Lauren, styled by Yashua Simmons. I don’t know if anyone has coined “elegant dad” as a TikTok trend yet, but this is it.

Sienna Miller

She could be going to Farro. It’s a far cry from her early festival years, and there’s a lot to be said for fuss-free comfort when you’re in a field. The jacket and boots are Barbour, and the jeans are Khaite.

Lena Waithe

Looking ornate and low-key is a fine line to walk, and Lena balances these two modes of dress perfectly this week. The coat is extravagant but cut with a sense of ease, the layers underneath are quietly complementary, and the pearls are a great touch.

Little Simz

One of the best looks at Glastonbury, Little Simz is in custom Ed Hardy; graphic enough to pop on stage, but without looking like a costume — though there’s nothing wrong with that (Janelle Monáe was brilliant).
