This Aidy Bryant-Loved Indie Brand Launched Extended Sizes Today
There are many reasons to love SNL and Shrill actress Aidy Bryant: a sly and bawdy sense of humor that belies her super-sweet appearance; infectious, rock-star-level self-confidence, and of course, her girly, slightly kooky and ultimately enviably cool style that never keeps her cool and never too serious. “She likes to wear colors and keep it cheery and happy,” says Bryant’s stylist Rebecca Grice. “She is very self-assured and knows what she wants.”
Bryant is also an avid supporter of independent brands like Batsheva, Ganni, Rachel Comey, and Sandy Liang. “If you’re not a size 2, it can be a little daunting out there, but these designers have gone the extra mile to make things happen,” Rebecca told us. Another brand to add to this canon is Wray, a New York-based line that recently entered Bryant’s orbit — and the timing couldn’t be better.
It was this close to Christmas when designer Wray Serna received a slightly sweat-inducing direct message on Instagram: it was Rebecca, wondering if the New York-based designer could make versions of two dresses she’d posted in her Stories tailored for the Shrill actress. “They were bright and fun, with a sense of whimsy and feminine cool — they ticked all the right boxes,” Rebecca told Refinery29. They’d just need the pieces in about two weeks — despite the fact that they were about to enter a holiday break.
“Everyone was like, ‘You’re just going to have to turn this request down,’” says the tenacious designer, “but if I need it to happen, it’s going to happen.” With a burst of entrepreneurial moxie and a flurry of communication with her manufacturers, she says, “I got them to make the dress. Fast. It was the most hustling I’ve ever done because I love Aidy.”
There was another factor working in her favor: the collection was already getting “graded”, as they say, in extended sizes, as Serna was planning to add a more inclusive range to the launch of her Spring/Summer ‘20 line. “I was really excited that this was happening, because we were planning on making plus sizes anyway in production,” explained the designer. “It felt like it was fate.”
Even better? The collection in question launched today on Wray’s website — including the two chic-and-cheerful styles Bryant could be seen wearing around New York in the days leading up to the Season 2 premiere of Shrill. Click below to shop the entire stylish collection in newly expanded sizes ranging from XS – 3X.

Aidy Bryant Launches Her Own Clothing Line Pauline
The Jewelry That Deserved A Closer Look From Last Night’s Oscars
On the red carpet, the spotlight is usually on the clothes. But, should we be paying closer attention to the jewelry? After all, they’re the ones who often come with their own security detail. Jewelry can tell as big a story as a dress, and — if you want to talk about rewearing — the same piece is oftentimes lent out to many different stars throughout the years, because of its high price and exclusivity. Take for example this year's Oscars presenter Maya Rudolph, whose emerald-and-diamond Lorraine Schwartz earrings were once donned by none other than Beyoncé. (“I like that…we like to share things,” she joked during the ABC Oscar’s Pre-Show).
Call it the Uncut Gems effect, but this year, some of the jewelry at the Oscars were the central showpiece.

Diane Keaton’s Oscars Look Is Casual & Perfect
Diane Keaton Oscar’s Look Thinks A Long Walk Around The Park Sounds Divine Right About Now
Diane Keaton’s on-screen looks are legendary. She wore menswear with ease for her role as Annie Hall in 1977, made the turtleneck-and-pantsuit a decade-long trend in First Wive’s Club, and had everyone backing minimalism thanks to her Hamptons wardrobe in Something’s Gotta Give. But what’s even more of a force? Her off-screen looks, which are, incidentally, exactly the same thing as what she wears in her roles.
Last night, Keaton presented an award alongside her Something’s Gotta Give boyfriend Keanu Reeves, wearing what some would (and did) call nothing special for a black-tie evening: a houndstooth Ralph Lauren suit styled underneath a custom Ralph Lauren wool-cashmere coat and cinched with a big belt. As per classic Diane, she added an oversized hat for good measure. But while there may be a case that her look is a bit more appropriate for a stroll around the park on a fall day than Hollywood’s fanciest night, Keaton’s consistency to her own personal style is nothing short of delightful. Trumping dress codes, pomp and circumstance, stylists, and even film wardrobe departments, Keaton wearing anything other than layered menswear would be the wrong move. It’s refreshing to see someone not try so hard for the red carpet and still manage to look like the coolest person in the room.

What sets Diane Keaton apart from her the rest is that she’s never given in to wearing something that goes against her style. Even her Instagram, typically a place where try-hard and faking it thrive, is absolutely authentic, filled with adorably self-deprecating selfies and throwback film stills to videos of clowns and daily outfit reminders.
In fact, those daily outfits, which often include a mix of designer pieces by Commes des Garçons and Maison Margiela, handmade garments designed by friends, and vintage finds that could only be archived by Diane Keaton, set trends themselves. We’re all buying oversized belts, quilted skirts, and pants styled over skirts now, and we know who did it first.

Can you imagine her in burnt-orange sequins? A vibrant red lasagna dress? Face it: The actress who herself admitted to having not worn color in four years isn’t going to suddenly start dressing like Kristen Wiig, even if it’s for the Oscars.
So yeah — maybe the look she chose for the Oscars wasn’t the most elegant of the night. But if you ask us, Diane Keaton should not, in any way, give even an inch.

Your Fashion Guide To The Oscars Red Carpet
The Fashion In Little Women Is As Relevant As The Story
Update: Little Women, the film based on Louisa May Alcott’s famous novel of the same name, was nominated for six Oscars this season, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actress by Saoirse Ronan, and Best Costume Design, which Jacqueline Durran took home an Academy Award for last night.
This story was originally published on December 16, 2019.
Greta Gerwig’s remake of Little Women is shaping up to be one of the most memorable fashion moments of the year. And the woman responsible for bringing the aesthetic to fruition is none other than veteran costume designer Jacqueline Durran — the brains behind that green Atonement dress, among other iconic film moments. But while one dress can stir up a lot of excitement, no one, not even Durran, could have expected just how relevant the clothing in Little Women would be.
“I’ve been asked about prairie dressing, but I didn’t really realize that it was a thing,” Durran said over the phone, which was surprising — the prairie trend has become nearly inescapable.
The film premieres in just over a week and is full of gorgeous clothing that is not all that different from what we saw on recent runways. The cast wore eyelet collars, long hemlines, lace-up boots, and basket bags in America; petticoats, corsets, lace gloves, and satin heels in France. Almost every sought-after trend from 2019 shows up on-screen in Little Women. Hell, even Timothée Chalamet’s tailored suiting (which Durran says was also worn by Saiorse Ronan’s character) would fit in perfectly with today’s trendiest aesthetic.
Whereas nearly every brand on the market is embracing prairie dressing in some form or another, two stand out as the leaders of the movement. Batsheva Hay, founder and creative director of Batsheva, has been doling out doily collars and whipping up long hems since she started her brand in 2015. According to her website, she designs modest dresses for women in order to “reject antiquated notions of womanhood.” It might seem like a contradiction that covering up more with vintage-inspired silhouettes could function as a rejection of traditional femininity, but as The New Yorker wrote last year, Batsheva “is coveted by an artsy set of women who appreciate the subversive allure of designs that might appear comically conservative to some.” And as such, Batsheva was an overnight success. The Vampire’s Wife, led by designer Susie Cave, takes a similar, if not slightly more luxury design approach to the trend, and in doing so, proves that this aesthetic reaches even the highest end of the fashion spectrum.
It’s not a coincidence that prairie-style dressing made a comeback around the same time that Little Women’s remake was announced. Rather, both are small pieces in the larger 1860-turned-2019 zeitgeist. Despite the obvious differences between the eras (like, you know, technology), we’re living in a society that’s not entirely different: women are still fighting to not be objectified; we’re expected to act, or not act a certain way; and we’re held, in general, to different standards than men. Between wage gaps, sexual harassment, and the persistent pressure to just get married already, it’s no wonder that Little Women has stayed relevant this long. And like us, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy dress in response to what’s happening around them.
Even as the characters in Little Women grow up and move away from the archetypal “prairie” aesthetic, their sense of style still manages to mimic trends that are relevant today. Jo moves more towards androgyny — at least as much as a woman could in the 1860s — with Durran sprinkling hints of suiting throughout her New York wardrobe and removing the ultra-feminine aspects of her younger costumes. “When Jo moves away from home, she’s trying to look a bit more professional and more grown-up. She starts dressing for the city.” And who amongst us hasn’t?
The same goes for Amy, who moves to Europe and adopts another one of 2019’s most talked-about trends: Renaissance. In contrast to the prairie trend which is rooted in America, renaissance dressing is inherently European. Think Marie Antoinette, but in Amy’s case, far less extravagant. Thom Browne, Charlotte Knowles London, Brock Collection — the romantic collections of September Fashion Week would’ve fit seamlessly with Durran’s designs for the world-traveling March sister.
“In the end,” Durran said, “I think I’m lucky if what I do works; if it chimes with the mood of the time.” But once you see Little Women on December 25th, we think you’ll agree that luck had absolutely nothing to do with it.
