New York Fashion Week regular Nicky Hilton sat front row at Michael Kors‘ S/S 2027 show on Sept. 11, sporting a fall-ready ensemble hailing from the designer brand.

The footwear designer’s look imparted an air of mystery, making her look spy-esque with classic pieces in neutral hues. Hilton sported a sleek suiting-inspired look consisting of a wool blazer and pencil skirt combo in black and white micro plaid. The blazer, a closet staple for many, featured pockets affixed to the front and black button closures. Both pieces were crafted of wool and featured crisp tailoring that created a structural silhouette.

Hilton’s blazer was belted and layered over a black turtleneck. The belt was knotted, hanging low, and featured silver hardware. Hilton’s ensemble was a masterclass in formal dress, playing with masculine and feminine silhouettes. The look is a take on traditional suiting, à la her blazer, but remixed thanks to the plaid print and skirt addition.

Coordinating colors, the socialite sported a black leather breifcase-esque bag partnered with knee-high black leather boots. Both pieces mirrored the high-shine finish of her leather belt. Hilton’s footwear was likely also from Michael Kors. The chosen style contrasted her form-fitted look, and featured squared toes and short block heels. Hilton also wore shimmering gold hoops and large cat-eye sunglasses in black.

Hilton’s look is a classic example of fall fashion done exceptionally well. From the tailoring to the color scheme, this is a quintessential cold-weather look that melds utilitarian cold-weather pieces, like her turtleneck, with more fashion-forward items. Her ensemble also featured lots of layering, another great styling trick for fall.

Michael Kors’ designs are classic. His pieces combine everyday practicality with glamour, taking classic silhouettes to another level. Kors is best known as accessible luxury, favored by all because of how wearable all of Kors’ pieces are. The brand is best known for creating neutral ensembles that one could wear to an office or out for dinner with friends.
