Florals are always hard to style—the risk of looking like Victorian chintz wallpaper is an ever-present possibility—but Freida Pinto just rocked a blazer that proved all the floral sceptics wrong. The actress recently shared a series of photographs of herself on Instagram wearing a lime-green blazer. The tailored blazer was overlaid with bright floral motifs in red, pink, and blue. Pinto opted for minimal styling that complemented the loud pattern of the blazer: she wore it without a shirt, left her hair open, and layered several gold necklaces.
We are at a unique point in fashion where maximalist femininity (a là Barbiecore) and clean lines (think quiet luxury) are simultaneously popular. Freida Pinto's affinity for neat silhouettes combined with the florals serves her well here: the blazer evokes modern femininity rather than Byzantine-era chic. Houses like Prada and Bottega Veneta successfully combined traditionally feminine motifs with clean lines this year, but Pinto's look proves that it doesn't need to just be restricted to the runway: she proves that florals really can be groundbreaking.
