The best and worst looks at the New York Film Festival so far

• The New York Film Festival is being held at Lincoln Center between September 26 and October 13.
• Stars including Jeremy Allen White and Julia Roberts have attended so far.
• On the event’s red carpet, outfits have ranged from sharp suits to statement dresses.

The New York Film Festival might not be as glamorous as the one in Cannes — but there’s still plenty of high fashion at the event.

Just look at what Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy Allen White, and Greta Lee wore while attending the Upper West Side event last week.

That said, a few celebrities have also arrived at Lincoln Center in outfits that completely missed the mark.

Here are the best and worst ensembles we’ve seen at the 2025 New York Film Festival so far.

Jeremy Allen White looked sharp in leather.

Louis Vuitton custom-made the suit he wore to promote his coming film, “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.” It comprised black trousers, a white button-up shirt, and a leather blazer.

The outfit was both classic and representative of the lead actor’s personal style.

Luca Guadagnino’s jacket stood out too strongly from the rest of his outfit.

The Italian film director, known for his movies like “Challengers,” attended the festival in black dress pants, shining dress shoes, and a white button-up top.

While a loose-fitting blazer would have completed the outfit nicely, he instead wore a boxy tweed piece with sharp shoulders.

The wide shape didn’t work with his skinny trousers.

Ayo Edebiri proved that you can never go wrong with a little black dress.

Her Chanel gown was sleeveless and simple. The velvet piece had a halter neckline, a floor-length skirt, and a mesh overlay that covered her chest.

Edebiri accessorized the glamorous look with a diamond bracelet and matching earrings, and her hair was styled in a wavy bob.

Laura Dern, on the other hand, wore a black gown that overpowered her.

Gabriela Hearst designed the lace ensemble, which included a strapless dress, a long cape, and fishnet tights decorated with a swirled pattern.

Though each piece was stunning on its own, they clashed when worn together.

The cape made Dern’s outfit look more like a costume, and her tights took away from the elegance of her dress.

Greta Lee stunned in purple silk.

“The Morning Show” actor arrived at the event in a Colleen Allen gown that retails for $1,890. It had long sleeves, a floor-length skirt, and a deep keyhole cutout across its bodice.

The gown’s elongated shape made Lee look taller in photos, and its vibrant color was especially flattering in contrast with her dark hair.

Julia Roberts wore a quirky ensemble that needed one tweak.

She was photographed at the festival wearing an ensemble designed by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood.

It featured a graphic blazer, a matching pleated skirt, a gray button-up blouse, and a tie embellished with multiple brooches.

The top half of the outfit was fun and unique. It would have looked better on Roberts if it had been styled with a miniskirt like it was on the designer runway.

Andrew Garfield made flare pants and polka dots work.

He posed for photographers on the red carpet wearing a satin blazer and a polka-dot blouse. The look was classic and tailored perfectly to him.

He also added a fun vintage touch with flared trousers and statement silver jewelry.

George Clooney and Amal Clooney had a rare fashion mishap.

George and Amal Clooney are known to wear glamorous, coordinated fashion.

At the New York Film Festival, however, they chose ensembles that didn’t work well together.

George Clooney wore a navy suit with a baby-blue button-up, and Amal Clooney donned a red minidress with a strapless, satin top and a floral-covered skirt.
