Three outfit changes in a single day might sound excessive to most people, but for Tessa Thompson, it’s just a Tuesday. While promoting her new film Hedda in New York, the actor proved once again that she has achieved a particular strain of fashion magic: making unorthodox styling look effortless and masterfully deliberate.
Her first stop of the day was a study in offbeat prep. Wearing Commission’s Spring 2026 collection, Thompson paired a striped rugby shirt with a check grey skirt piped in white, topped with a leather moto coat that blended collegiate polish with street-style edge.
The look was finished with a Birkin adorned with gold bag charms and a pair of pointed-toe kitten heels in a dark burgundy-brown.
Next came a burst of theatrical colour play courtesy of Tory Burch’s Spring 2026 collection. Thompson wore a bright red leather midi skirt slung low on her hips with a belt, and a beige knit top that tricked the eye with a double-stacked collar designed to look like multiple layers. Her elongated burgundy pumps with gold detailing sealed the deal.
By evening, Thompson switched gears entirely, stepping out in head-to-toe red satin from Willy Chavarria. The sharp tailoring, the gleam of the fabric, the insouciant ease with which she wore it—it all cut a truly chic figure.
Just days earlier at the Academy Museum Gala, she’d appeared in a bright yellow sculptural dress from Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the first under Pierpaolo Piccioli. Styled by Karla Welch, the look was inarguably one of the best of the evening.
Tuesday’s trio cements Thompson’s style as the breath of fresh air we love to see from Hollywood startlets, always willing to experiment and have fun with fashion. If this is just the beginning of the press tour, then we’re excited to see what’s next…
