If you re attending a red carpet event with your significant other (lucky you!) you may want to choose coordinating ensembles for the occasion. If that s the case, let Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh serve as a masterclass in statement dressing, while sidestepping cheesy couples attire. The musician and designer showed up to the Grammy Awards tonight in the same leather tracksuit: Williams s in red and Lasichanh s in black. More subtle than a ballgown and tux, the matching looks were a refreshing addition to the night s festivities.
Pharrell wore his lipstick red iteration with a brown fur jacket, jeweled sunglasses, diamond and gold jewelry, and a baseball cap from Human Made. Lasichanh paired her black jacket and bootcut pants with emerald earrings and a simple long braid. The style—made from studded quilted leather—is by Ernest W. Baker, the buzzy menswear label designed by Reid Baker and Ines Amorim. Their fanbase also includes A$AP Rocky and Harry Styles. This particular outfit, look 26 from the fall 2023 menswear collection with the fur jacket from look 6, speaks to the collection s theme of “grandma chic.” On the one hand, is there any clothing item more associated with octogenarians than a tracksuit? Still, in scarlet and black leather, it s far more chic than grandma.
Clearly, Williams and Lasichanh have a type. This isn t just their first time wearing the same silhouette on the red carpet, it s not even their first time wearing matching leather suits: The duo attended the 2021 Met Gala dressed in black cowboy shirts, skinny pants, and gold-toed boots by Chanel (while they both wore bolo ties, they were slightly different from each other). In both cases, two is better than one.
