Karlie Kloss was locked and loaded in a two-piece set by Carolina Herrera at the designer's Spring 2025 ready-to-wear show. Part of creative director West Gordon’s fall 2024 collection, the head-to-toe plaid ensemble includes a bustier with black contrast boning and billowing trouser pants. Kloss added a pair of black oval sunglasses to the look along with a touch of shine courtesy of her gold hoop earrings and dainty gold chain necklace.

Kloss rarely walks the runway anymore, but her long relationship with Wes Gordon means the Carolina Herrera presentation is always a must-see for the model. She did, however, break her dry spell in 2022, when she made a rare return to the catwalk for the brand’s Spring Summer ’23 collection. She's also been the face of Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl perfume since 2016.

Matching sets have been trending consistently since 2022 with no sign of stopping anytime soon. Two-piece looks have the unique ability to make you look instantly and effortlessly pulled together, no matter the circumstances. All you have to do is add a smattering of accessories, and there you have it: a polished look that can truly take you from the office to the bar. What more could a girl—or even a supermodel like Kloss—want?

New York Fashion Week isn't the only reason Kloss is visiting the city. Earlier in the week, she attended the wedding of British model Karen Elson and Electric Lady Studios partner Lee Foster, where, coincidentally, Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce were also on the guest list. Of course, it's unclear whether the former friends crossed paths at the event, but I can say with certainty that Kloss looked stunning at the celebration in a silky wine-colored off-the-shoulder dress.

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
