Paul Mescal isn't the only Normal People star with a thing for short shorts. Daisy Edgar-Jones, his close friend and co-star in the cult-favorite TV series, proved that she is just as much of an expert in the hot-pant field as Mescal—if not more of one.
Throughout her recent press tour for Twisters in New York City, Edgar-Jones has dominated in the street style department while exploring various aesthetics with expert-level grace, including boho with not one but two Chloé by Chemena Kamali dresses; dark romance with a black, completely sheer 16Arlington gown; and office siren with a fitted Magda Butrym suit fit with on-trend capri pants. And her stylist Dani Michelle's work isn't over.
On Daisy Edgar-Jones: Gucci Jackie Notte Mini Bag ($3980) and loafers; Sportmax sunglasses
Edgar-Jones's latest look is yet another ensemble for fashion's record books, and not just because it featured Mescal's signature short shorts. Who What Wear's July cover star chose a patent-leather jacket in Gucci's signature burgundy, a cropped white tank, and a pair of black hot pants for a nighttime occasion in Midtown. With the combo, she added some resort 2025 flatform loafers and a mini Jackie bag in the same color as her sleek topper, both from Gucci. The look is simpler than others she's debuted these last few weeks, but that doesn't take away from its appeal. In fact, it only proves how versatile of a dresser Edgar-Jones is. We're excited to witness her and her stylist play around with fashion as her acting career continues to flourish.
Ahead, shop the controversial hot-pant trend that this dynamic styling duo made look as elegant as any tailored suit or glamorous gown. Just remember to use Edgar-Jones's NYC ensemble as inspo the first time you wear it.
