Demi Moore’s latest ensemble made a compelling case for velvet tailoring as this season’s most luxurious styling move. Her emerald suit by Saint Laurent made a statement whilst attending the New Yorker Festival on Saturday.
This striking velvet look captured this season’s love of textures and rich jewel tones, two things we’ve noted as central parts of the autumn/winter fashion trends 2025. Moore’s blazer featured defined shoulders, a belted waist and buttons up the collar, in sumptuous emerald velvet.
Under the blazer, she wore a blouse with a scalloped neckline and ruffled cuffs, adding texture to her silhouette. Her velvet trousers were curved and tapered in at the ankle, and a real standout feature has to be her striking black platform boots.
During the cooler season, investing in velvet is a must. A velvet blazer can be easily layered over a little black dress or paired with matching trousers to create the ultimate partywear attire.
