Sitting in the front row as Coach debuted its Fall 2024 collection at New York Fashion Week nearly three months ago, I distinctly remember two pieces from the downtown-goes-uptown collection that earned shout-outs in my editor group chat: a taffeta party skirt set with a giant bow and a Coach C-logo tote dripping with New York City-themed charms. Cut to the first Monday in May, those pieces were the very foundation of Euphoria star Storm Reid's custom look for the 2024 Met Gala, styled by Jason Bolden.
Reid arrived at the Met steps arm-in-arm with Coach creative director Stuart Vevers, wearing an amplified version of the brand's runway standouts. Her skirt was pistachio instead of the baby pink dress he designed for Fall 2024. It was studded with tiny flowers and extended into a voluminous train. On top, she had toughened-up elements for contrast: a black bustier-like top and a leather jacket (a signature of Coach's extensive archives) slung over her shoulders.
