You didn't think FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy would premiere without method dressing from leading lady Sarah Pidgeon, did you? On February 11, the eve of the biopic's release, the Marie Claire cover star looked every bit her character in two CBK-coded leather coats.
Stylist Emma Jade Morrison understood the assignment: help Pidgeon look as much like Bessette-Kennedy, without encroaching on gimmicky. (Not even in the slightest.) After an early-morning interview on Good Morning America, the actress wasted no time posing in her first CBK-worthy coat, courtesy of New York City label AFLALO. The $3,800 Affine Coat read more dress than outerwear, thanks to its collarless neckline and a button-hiding placket. It's unclear if Pidgeon layered anything underneath it, but the coat's monochrome belt and calf-grazing hem ensured she didn't have to. Square-toe pumps—also in matte black leather—cemented Pidgeon's press look as a clear homage to Bessette-Kennedy.
