Ayo Edebiri Dresses Down a Fancy Skirt With a Finance Bro Staple

Reported by Vogue.

If you've ever stood in front of your closet, eyeing a spectacular skirt you have absolutely nowhere to wear, Ayo Edebiri just solved your problem — and she did it with a quarter-zip.

The actor arrived at a taping of The View dressed in Chanel, specifically a piece from Matthieu Blazy's Métiers d'Art 2026 show: a midi skirt featuring an inverted cityscape print, its glittering skyline engineered into an asymmetrical hem. It's the kind of skirt that announces itself. So naturally, Edebiri balanced it with something that doesn't — a half-zipped quarter-zip sweater layered over a plain white tee. According to Vogue, the reference was pulled directly from the runway show, which took place on a New York City subway platform. The downtown logic tracks.

The High-Low Formula, Perfected

What makes this work isn't luck — it's deliberate tension. Edebiri and her stylist Danielle Goldberg know exactly how much to let a look breathe. The skyline skirt got silver pointy-toe pumps (formal) paired with a casual white shoulder bag and sporty wrap sunglasses (decidedly not). The whole outfit reads effortless precisely because every contrast was chosen. This is the same duo who turned a white long-sleeve and navy shorts into something red-carpet-adjacent with the right shoes and a draped sweater, and who layered a white button-up and jeans under enough Tiffany & Co. jewelry and metallic heels to make it feel like an event.

The quarter-zip specifically is doing heavy lifting here. It's the uniform of finance bros, weekend golfers, and men who consider khakis "dressing up" — and yet, dropped over a statement skirt with a white tee peeking through, it becomes a studied style choice. That's the whole game: taking something mundane and letting something extraordinary make it interesting, or vice versa.

Your fanciest skirt doesn't need a fancy occasion — it needs a boring top brave enough to share the frame with it.
