Julianne Moore is having a busy summer. Between press tours for her hit series Sirens on Netflix, to current promotion for her latest film, Echo Valley on Apple TV+, and even front facing Bottega Veneta’s newest campaign, she’s been churning out impeccable look after look, offering us plenty of warm-weather style inspiration along the way.
The Julianne Moore-Inspired Must-Haves:
Featured in this article
Simplicity has always been a hallmark of Moore’s personal style, which she never strays too far from, whether she’s walking around her West Village neighborhood or spending a week in the South of France. In fact, it was at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival when we were first struck by her take on everyday elegance; arriving in town for the annual celebrations, she served airport chic in a Bottega Veneta cardigan, trouser pants, and woven tote bag. Throughout the week, she opted for subtle glamour on the red carpet—in both a slinky black gown and sharp tuxedo moment. Fast forward to nearly a month later, and the major street style looks just keep coming, each one more stylish than the next.
From summer-in-the-city outfit ideas to minimalist-friendly evening looks, not only will her ensembles have you feeling put-together everywhere from the sweaty train platform of the LIRR to a humid garden party, you’ll also find plenty of dressing inspiration for the season ahead with these seven ensembles, below.
Elevating the T-Shirt
Sticking to the basics is always a good idea. Moore’s personal twist comes through her color play, opting for a charcoal gray T-shirt atop an écru trouser jean for a fresh spin on minimalism essentials. Adding a modern pump in coordinating cream, and a chunky, chain necklace, are those fashion-forward, finishing touches that really make this one pop.
Playing With Poplin
Anyone sweating it out during the summer months, knows the power of lightweight, cotton pants. Perhaps partly inspired by the coastal vibes of Sirens, this polo sweater and white pants combination looks the part of Moore’s character Michaela Kell summering in a New England abode. Accessories like a studded, leather sandal and designer sunnies offer city-coded touches.
Vested Interest
Office wear gets trickier as the days get hotter, but Moore shows just how right a tailored, matching set can be. Her take on the vest trend goes the denim-on-denim route, perfect for those hot summer days, where figuring out what to wear is always problematic. Simply add a white T-shirt underneath, walkable power pump, and designer tote bag, and you’re good-to-go.
Well Suited
Since many of us still have to face the daily commute until Labor Day, lean into summer suiting as your answer to cool office garb. A lightweight, cotton set, will face all the upcoming heatwaves in style, while essentials such as a layering tank, can be worn as your standalone top on a sweaty train platform—just pop the jacket on when you arrive at the office.
Managing the Midi Skirt
The hits keep coming with this simple, yet chic, midi skirt ensemble, proving that less really is always moore. Pair a crew neck sweater (to ward off those office chills from nonstop A/C) with a structured skirt in chocolate brown to nail this contemporary, power look. Leather loafers and an oversized work tote are the only accompaniments you need to finish things off.
Fail-Proof Basics
We’ll say it again—you can’t go wrong with the best basics. This celeb-approved fit is a no-fail winner, every time. There’s something about an oversized blazer, white T-shirt, and straight-leg jeans, that just feels right, no effort required. Peppering in woven accessories may certainly be trend-forward, however, they’ll never lose their appeal.
Evening Elegance
If wedding guest dressing has you stumped, investing in a simple and chic, black maxi dress is a no-brainer. An off-the-shoulder option reaads subtly sexy, and can be worn over and over with a change of accessories. Here, we love how Moore went for tonal earrings in onyx, sharp patent-leather mules, and a straightforward evening bag, to compliment her black-tie-appropriate ensemble.
