2026 has been governed by a plethora of surprising style trends—jelly shoe sneaker hybrids, anyone? With the arrival of Fall 2026, there's one color combination trend that appears to be winning over celebrities and fashion houses alike. As a result, Hunter Schafer is right on trend with her latest outfit.

For a night out at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on September 18, the Cuckoo actress opted to pair a bright red, long-sleeved mini dress with a silky purple top. She styled her short dress with sheer stockings and pointed-toe tan pumps.

Schafer appeared to be carrying a vintage Prada Cream Nappa Gaufre Leather Frame Clutch, which features a distinctive clasp. She wore her long blonde hair down around her shoulders.
