How to Style a White Button-Down Shirt as a Mini Dress, the Ayo Edebiri Way

Ayo Edebiri wore a white button-down from Chanel as a dress on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

My fiancé and I share joint custody of his white button-downs. I blame Carrie Bradshaw in Season 3 of Sex and the City, when she wears the Oxford better than Big. Now, thanks to Ayo Edebiri, I might just purchase my own. On April 28, she styled a white button-down as a dress on Late Night With Seth Meyers, complete with features I've only found in the men's section.

I gasped when Studio 8G's loft-like doors revealed the guest of honor, in all her Chanel girl glory. The brand ambassador supported creative director Matthieu Blazy—and his first Cruise fashion show from afar—in one of his standout Spring 2026 styles. Stylist Danielle Goldberg dressed her in a perfectly-oversize button-down from Chanel's recent collaboration with French shirtmaker Charvet. The tuxedo shirt was crisp in every sense of the word, especially its razor-sharp collar, pronounced placket, and thigh-grazing hem. Blink and you'll miss "Chanel" in red, cursive embroidery centimeters beneath her bust.
