Christine Baranski Proves Again Why She’s Fashion’s Favorite Thom Browne Muse
On Monday evening, Christine Baranski demonstrated once more why she remains fashion’s favorite muse of designer Thom Browne. The celebrated actress arrived at Browne’s 20th anniversary celebration in New York City looking characteristically chic in a two-tone gray suit from the designer’s latest collection. While the event’s star-studded guest list including Jenna Ortega, Evan Mock, and Jenna Lyons embraced Browne’s signature aesthetic, Baranski’s look stood out for its effortless polish.
Baranski’s ensemble featured one of Browne’s sharply tailored blazers in heathered gray wool paired with matching wide-leg trousers that grazed the tops of her ankles. The minimalist suiting allowed the actress’s innate charisma to take center stage. With her signature tousled blonde bob, cat-eye glasses, and swipe of bold red lipstick, Baranski embodied modern sophistication.
The actress and four-time Emmy winner accessorized with pearl drop earrings, a gray leather mini bag, and pointed black leather ballet flats. The shoes provided a contemporary twist that balanced the retro femininity of her look. While sky-high platform heels have become synonymous with Browne’s runway shows, Baranski’s flats reflected her personal flair.
She grounded the suit with a white button-down shirt and black necktie, allowing the perfectly tailored separates to speak for themselves. While Thom Browne is celebrated for his strict uniform aesthetic of shrunken suiting and gender-bending classics, Baranski manages to bring a sense of effortlessness to his codified aesthetic.
Much like her viral 2022 Met Gala ensemble featuring a cape, corset, and striped maxi skirt, Baranski’s latest Browne look remained consistent with her signature style. Both outfits demonstrate her knack for enhancing the designer’s work with her nonchalant confidence.
Earlier this year, the actress arrived at Browne’s Fall 2022 runway show during New York Fashion Week in another version of his iconic suiting. Clad in a gray-and-black houndstooth print blazer and matching wide-leg trousers, Baranski proved her loyalty to Browne’s perennial classics. Even in one of the designer’s more avant-garde prints, the actress epitomized what it means to be a true Browne muse.
It is clear that no one wears Thom Browne quite like Christine Baranski, who proves that his pared-back suiting reaches its full potential when worn with her brand of modern elegance. In an age of experimental fashion, she demonstrates the power of a perfectly tailored uniform.
