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.

Her exact look was comprised of the Saharienne cotton velvet jacket and the cotton velvet straight trousers by Saint Laurent, and to finish, she also accessorised with a black supple leather bag that featured the iconic YSL branding in bronze hardware.
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.
