Ayo Edebiri Is a Bright Fashion Star On the Rise

Ah, Ayo Edebiri. Though there's a bevy of new stars constantly rising Hollywood, there aren't that many up-and-coming celebrities who just have that "It" factor (you know what I'm talking about). When the 28-year-old first hit big with her role as Sydney, the anxious but determined chef in the hit Hulu series The Bear, it was only a matter of time before she skyrocketed to unreachable heights. Her down-to-earth persona and her infectious, hilarious nature have converted onlookers (me included) into die-hard fans. But aside from watching the actress on the big screen, we're constantly refreshing our feeds for the next best style moment from Edebiri.

From ethereal Prada gowns to Jackie O-inspired pairings off the red carpet, Edebiri is undeniably a fashion star on the rise. And she's showed off her strong sartorial muscles this past awards season, starting with the 2024 Golden Globes. (Credit can go to Danielle Goldberg, Edebiri's stylist.) Read on for the best red carpet moments Edebiri has had so far.

Edibiri took nonchalant minimalism for a spin at the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co BAFTA afterparty, which celebrated the ties between fashion and cinema. For the occasion, which took place at Annabel's, the actress slipped on Bottega Veneta's viral leather jeans—a $6,900 style crafted to look like blue denim—with a silky white collared shirt and silver Rocket wedges for a sharp statement. A chic finish came in the form of a silver link necklace and bracelet, each set with glossy blue stones.

Edebiri has had quite the awards season. She's fresh off of a Golden Globes win, scoring a trophy for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. For the ceremony, she chose a ruby red Prada dress, with the strapless gown followed by a dreamy, elongated organza train.

She didn't let off the capital F-Fashion pedal just yet. While at the Governors Awards shortly after, she was captured rocking yet another strapless ensemble, this time a butter-yellow leather gown hailing from Proenza Schouler. She opted for a similar sleek sentiment in a roomy white suit from The Row at the Critics Choice Awards.

At the 2024 Emmys, she wore artfully sculpted custom Louis Vuitton—the ideal ensemble to wear when you win the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series award.

Her off-red carpet fashion moments are noteworth, too. Edebiri was seen in Los Angeles heading inside the set for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Ahead of the shoot—where she talked about her big weekend and The Bear—she opted for a classic '50s-inspired look (Grace Kelly, is that you?), donning a sleek white maxi dress from Khaite. The Bottoms lead then layered lightly for the Cali winter breeze in a long camel trench coat. She kept the accessories simple yet impactful, opting for one of this year's rising handbag trends via a slouchy black leather bag, matching Gianvitto Rossi pointed pumps, and a très chic red-and-white scarf loosely falling over the shoulder. Not to mention her newly-debuted blunt-cut bob? Mwah!

Edebiri is a certified Prada girl, so of course, she showed up to the Italian luxury brand's SS24 collection looking as chic as ever. Her head-to-toe Prada look consisted of a satin scoop neck lavender top paired with a grey satin midi skirt and a pair of pointed-toe Prada heels.

Posing with her friend group of equally as funny girls, Edebiri opted for this whimsical, bright blue floral Marni dress and a pair of black heels.

Edebiri channeled effortless Old Hollywood glamour for the CFDA Fashion Awards, wearing a sleek black Loewe gown. Swooning!

One thing about Edebiri? She loves a bright pop of color. Cast in point: this orange satin Prada mini dress the rising star wore to the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. She styled the bold shade with a pair of black pointed-toe pumps and a singular diamond tennis bracelet.

Edebiri attended the AFI Awards Luncheon wearing an effortlessly cool white two-piece with a pair of coordinating white pointed-toe pumps.

The Bottoms star had a classic LBD moment at the BAFTA Tea Party, wearing an understated Versace mini dress with a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels. Her flipped bob added another level of chicness to the timeless look.

While attending the Proenza Schouler Spring 2024 Runway Show, Edebiri was the embodiment of cool girl energy, wearing a crisp white button-down buttoned only at the top, with a black blazer and a pair of black trouser pants. She finished off the look with a pair of black sunglasses because why not?

Considering we are right in the midst of awards season, and with our favorite must-watch stars kicking it off to a buzzy start (especially on the style front), it's only a matter of time before we see Edebiri once again lean even more into what we predict to be her biggest fashion year yet.
