Sarah Pidgeon's Milan Fashion Week Debut Spotlights the Best of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy Minimalism

Sarah Pidgeon arrived at Milan Fashion Week wearing black cigarette jeans, a leather jacket, and a sweater on top.

Whether Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy was styling a trench coat, wool wrap, or the occasional leopard-print jacket, she often wore a classic sweater underneath. Even so, I like to think she would have been open to wearing knitwear as shawls, too. Every CBK-coded minimalist is loyal to the winter-to-spring style hack right now, even Sarah Pidgeon.

Pidgeon portrays Bessette-Kennedy in FX's biopic series, Love Story, which tells the story of her whirlwind romance with John F. Kennedy Jr. While she's very much a fashion muse on her own, Pidgeon left Love Story with an intimate understanding of Bessette-Kennedy's aesthetic, as proven by her Milan Fashion Week debut on February 25. In the run-up to Episode 5, Pidgeon filled the CBK-shaped hole in viewers' hearts with selects straight from her character's '90s wardrobe.
