The phrase "wardrobe staple" is one that generally conjures up images of plain white tees, khaki trench coats, and the perfect pair of worn-in jeans. But there's one cold-weather must-have that's largely slept on: leather pants.
Six months out of the year, these babies do most of the heavy-lifting in my closet. They're responsible for some of my favorite outfits of all time and are always a fixture in my New York Fashion Week lineup.
Given that it's fashion week right now, the editor-approved style is guaranteed to make several appearances, on both streets and runways. The chicest example of this didn't come from a fellow fashion editor, however. It came from a woman who plays one on screen: Anne Hathaway.
The Devil Wears Prada star popped out on Sept. 9 for an art show at the Levy Gorvy Dayan gallery in New York City. Though she wasn't attending a fashion week event, she still dressed the part, wearing elevated workwear that popped.
Anne Hathaway styles a striped button-up with leather pants and a red heart Alaïa bag.
Hathaway was outfitted in a simple striped button-up and leather pants that featured moto-inspired quilted pockets. Once it came time for accessories, the actor amped up the style factor tenfold.
She paired her black-and-white look with wine-colored Gucci Signoria 105mm Pumps and a crimson heart-shaped bag—Alaïa's viral Le Coeur Crossbody, specifically. Another editor favorite, the campy design is a fashion month fixture, boasting celeb supporters like Selena Gomez.
Hathaway's clashing shades of red might look jarring to your average passerby, but the color combination has actually become an industry favorite in recent years. It's been seen on the runways of Chanel, Blumarine, and Puppets & Puppets, and, most recently, was exhibited by Jenna Ortega, while promoting Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

All this to say: Hathaway's look was right on cue. Once a pretend fashion editor, always a pretend fashion editor.
