Quinta Brunson rolled up to ABC studios in a bold color combination that plays into two trending fall hues on Tuesday, Oct. 8. With the help of stylist Jessica Paster, the Abbott Elementary star built the eye-catching look around a burgundy striped shirt and coordinating skirt that was cinched at the waist with a matching burgundy belt.
Last month, the trendy wine-red hue was renewed for another season on the Fall 2024 runways, where it was embraced by the likes of Tory Burch, Prada, Ferragamo, Gucci, and Victoria Beckham. Memorably, oxblood dominated the Spring 2024 runways, too, where it received ringing endorsements from Gucci and Bottega Veneta. The fanfare over burgundy also speaks to the long-tail effect of designers' obsession with cherry red in 2023. This year's take on the trend, however, is a richer shade of black cherry, as seen on Princess Kate and Lily Collins in recent weeks.
The actor didn't stop at sporting one trendy shade, though. Instead, she embraced the brat green color trend by adding a vibrant lime trench jacket with a burgundy gingham lining atop the matching ruby red set. All three pieces—shirt, skirt, and trench—come from Forte_Forte's Spring 2025 collection, but similar options can be found from Staud, Wray, and Bluzat. She pulled the bold color combination together with a pair of wine-red pointed-toe pumps, gold hoops, and a chunky gold ring.
Earlier the same day, the Emmy-winning actor and writer—who is gearing up to promote Abbott Elementary's long-awaited fourth season—was spotted in Midtown Manhattan wearing a tan checked wool mini dress from Meshki, a beige double-breasted coat, Larroudé over-the-knee brown leather boots with a pointed toe, and an ivory Veronica Beard bag.
Has an outfit ever declared "It's fall, ya'll" more clearly? I think not.
