Never one to play it safe, Charli XCX opted to style an August Barron leather jacket as a micro minidress at the U.K. premiere of “The Moment.” The singer turned a classic outerwear staple into a daring, high-impact statement piece. The year has just begun, and Charli is already thriving amid the release of “The Moment” and the soundtrack for “Wuthering Heights.”
Charli XCX keeps it edgy in August Barron leather jacket, wears it as micro minidress
Charli XCX stepped out in a black leather jacket from August Barron’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection titled “Real Housewife.” Crafted from glossy leather, the jacket featured a cinched elastic waist that flared into a peplum hem, giving structure and shape to the otherwise edgy silhouette. It also had a high stand collar and a full zip-up front. Worn solo, the piece blurred the lines between jacket and dress. The bold, leg-baring look was both rebellious and refined.
The “Brat” hitmaker kept the look cohesive by pairing the jacket with matching black leather thigh-high boots and sheer tights. The boots were also from the same August Barron collection. They featured slouchy detailing, an exposed frontal zip, buckle straps at the top and ankle, and a sharp stiletto heel. The monochromatic styling created a head-to-toe leather moment, making the look powerful and unapologetically confident.
Styled by Chris Horan, the 33-year-old completed her look with Boodles jewelry. The pieces were Pas De Deux Diamond Drop Necklace and Play of Light Yellow Diamond Platinum Earrings. She wore her long hair down in voluminous waves with a center part. This added to the effortlessly sultry feel of her look.
Her makeup was simple with defined brows, sculpted cheeks, and a neutral lip. The glam balanced out the intensity of her all-black ensemble. Meanwhile, her dark manicure matched the subtle edge of her outfit. Charli’s co-stars Alexander Skarsgard, Rish Shah, and Jamie Demetriou also attended the premiere.
