British actress Michaela Coel is currently promoting not one but two highly anticipated films, and her wardrobe is proving just as captivating as her on-screen performances. 

The 38-year-old takes on the role of an art dealer in The Christophers and a fashion designer in Mother Mary, where she stars alongside Anne Hathaway. So it’s fitting that her press tour style has been flawless, with multiple daily appearances across New York, each one a masterclass in immaculate transitional season dressing.

The skirt suit and stilettos

Michaela kicked off the tour with a modern twist on the classic skirt suit. The matching set from Ferragamo autumn/winter 2026 featured a fluid cut, with buttoned panels left intentionally undone. She completed the look with a pair of the brand’s sculptural slingbacks, the S-shaped heel mule, and Studio Amelia’s Adler bag.

On Friday, she stepped out on in two pieces from Courrèges’ Spring collection. The black asymmetrical top by the French heritage brand was effortlessly cool paired with the chocolate brown bermuda shorts, for a relaxed yet directional city dressing look.

The spring velvet

In contrast, her muted morning look was all rich jewel tones. She wore a red top and purple trousers by New York designer Colleen Allen, the textural clash of plush velvet against fluid tailoring adding a bold, tactile edge.
