Last week Chloë Sevigny married her husband Siniša Mačković in a star-studded ceremony. She was still riding that high yesterday after the fetish-packed and money-slathered Balenciaga show at the New York Stock Exchange (even though she was out till 4 a.m. at an SNL after-party). Basking in that post-wedding glow while wearing a floral print dress by the French house in the sweltering heat, Sevigny cracked a joke about her look, “Is it too Connecticut?”
Her look wasn’t Metro North in the least. In fact, the ensemble was pure Balenciaga, but with that signature Sevigny quirk. The dress and its light floral print matched the actor’s devil-may-care attitude, but the matching dominatrix cuissardes packed the harshness of the house. Her husband opted for a hulking leather coat with fringe and a pair of the larger-than-life boots. “My favorite part about the Balenciaga show was sitting next to my new husband!” Sevigny quipped.
Aside from her spouse, Sevigny favored the stellar men’s outerwear in the show. “I wear his coats,” she said, pointing to Mačković and his jacket with zippable and removable sleeves. Of course the actor, who is a New York landmark of her own, found plenty of charm in the show’s Big Apple–themed soundtrack. “I love the rendition of ‘New York, New York,’” she said.
Although we’re more likely to see Sevigny in her own downtown universe, far away from Wall Street, she does have fond memories about the New York Stock Exchange. “My brother used to work on the trading floor—he was a commodities trader,” she said. “It was the late ’90s, so I’ve been here before the big screens, and there was more paper.” Sevigny on the trading floor in the late ’90s? That’s a sight we’d invest in!
