With the spring couture collections walking the runways in Paris at the same time the Sundance Film Festival was overtaking Park City, this last week in January was chock full of celebrity sightings.
A hat must be tipped to “Bunnylovr” actress Rachel Sennott for turning up on both sides of the Atlantic, though her boho snow bunny look edged out the one she chose to attend Jean Paul Gaultier‘s show, where Lisa Rinna’s Blonde Ambition moment stole the spotlight. Rinna demonstrated “cosplay dressing” done the right way, winning her a spot on best-dressed alongside fellow front-rower Meghan Thee Stallion at Giambattista Valli. But away from the events circuit, Rihanna kept a low-profile, schooling everyone in casual date-night style.
Here are the best-dressed stars this week.
-
Megan Thee Stallion
What: Giambattista Valli
Where: At Giambattista Valli’s spring 2025 haute couture show during PFW.
Why: Taking in a couture collection from the front row is any fashion lover’s dream and this being the rapper’s first time to do so, she indulged (as she should) in a hooded day-glow orange gown that hugged her every curve. “I’m feeling like a tangerine,” she told WWD. “I’m feeling sweet. I’m feeling fresh.” And she looks it, too.

Lisa Rinna
What: Jean Paul Gaultier
Where: At Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring 2025 haute couture show during PFW.
Why: What could be more perfect for attending a Gaultier show than a vintage Madonna reference? Here, Rinna demonstrated she can pull off camp without veering too far into costume by ditching the cone bra for an impeccable pinstripe suit with corset lacing cleverly integrated at the hips. Topping it off with those overblown platinum curls keeps the look cheeky.

Rachel Sennott
What: A Vintage Chloé bag
Where: At the 2025 Sundance Film Festival
Why: Rachel Sennott put a youthful twist on Western fashion at Sundance in a camel shearling coat with Penny Lane vibes and a coordinating mini skirt. The actress scored extra points for touting an early aughts grail bag, the Chloé Paddington originally designed by Phoebe Philo, which added a dash of “boho-revival.” Touching on two major trends while braving the snow in stilettos? Job well done.

Ayo Edebiri
What: The Row
Where: At the 2025 Sundance Film Festival
Why: Ayo Edebiri has more than demonstrated her chef skills on “The Bear,” so it’s only fitting she could pull off avocado green, a shade saturating the fall season, with aplomb. A red carpet pro, Edebiri swaddled herself in The Row’s blanket cape before whipping it off to reveal a matching a-line dress underneath. Now that’s a two-for-one special.
-
Rihanna
What: A Canadian tuxedo
Where: Out With A$AP Rocky in Los Angeles
Why: More often than not, date-night attire calls for a skimpy party dress or something that sparkles, but Rihanna is never one to follow conventions. Instead, the multi-hyphenate mogul doubled up on denim for an outting with A$AP Rocky in Los Angeles. Her mix of indigo washes feels effortlessly cool, made even more so by a floor-sweeping leather moto-trench and python diva boots.
