Michaela Coel is keeping busy! Over the last several days, the actor has been promoting her two forthcoming films, The Christophers—in which she plays an art forger—and Mother Mary—in which she stars as a fashion designer opposite Anne Hathaway’s titular popstar.

Coel seems to be latching onto her characters’ proclivities for art and fashion, bucking bland press tour style for looks from buzzy designers big and small.

Styled by Nell Kalonji, Coel kicked things off on April 9 in a deconstructed Ferragamo skirt suit, where the undone buttons created artful drapery. She kept that energy the following day in Courrèges, pairing a pair of knee-length shorts with a draped, asymmetrical T-shirt.

Later on, Coel opted for a full Loewe look—a sky blue and kelly green tank top and black leather logo pants with a structured black coat.

Coel followed the Loewe with another American designer causing a stir in Europe, Michael Rider. She played with proportion in a militaristic jacket; its cinched waist balanced its exaggerated shoulders. Later on, she embraced one of New York’s up-and-comers, Colleen Allen, doubling up on velvet in a draped tomato top and violet trousers from fall 2026.

Yesterday, the actor returned to Loewe in a color-blocked midi dress, which she paired with shiny black knee-high boots. Still, even dressed down, Coel manages to grab our attention. For her second look of the day, she opted for a classic button-up and cuffed blue jeans from Chanel, worn with a sumptuous brown leather coat, a shearling Chanel 25 bag, and a pair of shoes that sent editors and VICs into a tizzy this past Paris Fashion Week.

While she’s been playing with color, shape, and structure, Michaela Coel reminds us that she’s just as capable of nailing even the most classic look.
