We all have that go-to shirtdress—the one piece in your closet that’s practically a blank canvas, always chic, and reliably appropriate for everything from a Tuesday work meeting to a Saturday brunch. But sometimes “classic” just feels a little predictable.
Enter Leslie Bibb, who stepped out looking impossibly sleek in a straight-from-the-runway Michael Kors Spring 2026 Collection outfit. It's the sartorial equivalent of an expensive, well-tailored trench coat—all polish, zero fuss. The pareo, draped and tied at the waist, is the elevated element that transforms her traditional collared button-down into a show-stopping moment.
This look is perfect timing, too, because Bibb is in the spotlight thanks to the return of Palm Royale on Apple TV. As Dinah Donahue, the razor-tongued pillar of Palm Beach society, Bibb serves up glamour with a side of delicious desperation. In Season 2, we’re seeing Dinah ditching her trophy wife persona—which often came in the form of pristine, though stifling, vintage gowns—and embracing a new kind of power dressing. We're talking sharp pantsuits and a more modern, independent vibe for the '60s. Her Michael Kors outfit is the real-life manifestation of Dinah’s Season 2 aesthetic: confident, sharp, and totally owning the room without a single sequin. Keep scrolling to shop classic shirt dresses in browns that are perfect for fall.
On Leslie Bibb: Michael Kors collection top, skirt, shoes and bag.
