Ayo Edebiri is certifiably one of the most captivating style icons of young Hollywood, with her effortless yet distinct looks, often pulled from purveyors of playful fashion such as Loewe, Bottega Veneta, and Thom Browne.
However, this week she channelled the flashier socialites of the 2000s (think Paris Hilton) as she stepped out in Los Angeles after filming Jimmy Kimmel: Live!—a look that was completed with the addition of an equally iconic furry friend.
Edebiri left the set in a bright red, draped Jacquemus minidress with long, loose sleeves and a fitted skirt. She sported a warm brown bob and kept her accessories simple with Jessica McCormack diamond earrings, black pointed-toe pumps, and sunglasses. All to let the real star shine. Accompanying her was the actor’s black and white rescue dog, Gromit, who kept the accessories simple himself with a black leash.
The pooch is no stranger to the limelight, often accompanying Edebiri to her commitments, and even having visited the set of The Bear. The star (in this case, Edebiri) recounted the experience to Vogue.
“I brought him to the set of The Bear, and he joined the camera department,” she reported. “He tried to run for treasurer of their Local 600 [the International Cinematographers Guild]. It was really scary.”
In fact, the Chihuahua mix did his own interview with the outlet back in August 2024, following an appearance in The New York Times, in which it was revealed he is an Aquarius, “freakishly sentient”, and looks great in clothes. In which case, we hope to see more mother-son fashion moments in the future—perhaps even matching looks.
Edebiri is not the first to make dog walking glamorous. While carrying Chihuahuas in handbags Y2K-style may not be with the times, recently, fellow actresses Mikey Madison and Demi Moore have also made chic appearances with their micro furry pals.
