Amanda Seyfried Elevates 90s Office Wear at The Testament of Ann Lee Paris Premiere

A red carpet look is never just a dress; it’s a cultural timestamp. Case in point: Amanda Seyfried’s appearance at the Paris premiere of The Testament of Ann Lee in February 2026. Styled by the inherently brilliant Elizabeth Stewart, Seyfried sidestepped the expected. Instead of leaning into her film’s austere 18th-century wardrobe, she arrived in a subversive, hyper-modern Chloé ensemble that sharply redefined ”90s office wear” for the current moment.

The Return of Capri Pants The most discussed element? Her use of black stretch-knit capri leggings layered beneath a micro-miniskirt. It’s a calculated styling move that revitalizes the polarizing early-2000s trend, proving that even the most controversial silhouettes can feel undeniably polished. The secret lies in the strict monochromatic palette, transforming what could be chaotic into a sleek, unified line.

Pronounced Power Shoulders Leaning into “power shoulders,” Seyfried opted for a boxy, double-breasted checkered jacket by Chloé. While some critics found the padded silhouette too wide for her frame, it served as a bold architectural contrast, completely rejecting the “method dressing” so standard on today’s press tours.

Minimalist Restraint The look maintained a muted, monochromatic palette of gray, black, and white. By keeping the glamour sleek—straight blonde hair parted down the middle by Dayaruci and a simple nude lip by Sasha O’Neill—and accessories minimal, the focus remained entirely on the architectural structure of the Chloé pieces.
