Paul Mescal isn’t the only Normal People star with a thing for short shorts. His close friend and co-star in the cult-favorite TV series, Daisy Edgar-Jones, proved that she is just as much of an expert in the hot-pants field as Mescal if not more of one.
Throughout her recent press tour for Twisters in New York City, Edgar-Jones has dominated in the street-style department, exploring various aesthetics with expert-level grace—including boho with not one, but two Chloé by Chemena Kamali dresses; dark romance, with a black, completely sheer 16Arlington gown; and office siren, with a fitted Magda Butrym suit fit with on-trend capri pants. And her stylist Dani Michelle‘s work isn’t over.

Jackie Notte Mini Bag
Edgar-Jones’s latest look is but another ensemble for fashion’s record books, and not just because it featured Mescal’s signature short shorts. Who What Wear’s July cover star chose a patent-leather jacket in Gucci’s signature burgundy hue, a cropped white tank, and a pair of black hot pants for a nighttime occasion in Midtown. With the combo, she added some Resort 2025 flatform loafers and a mini Jackie bag in the same color as her sleek topper, both from Gucci as well. The look is simpler than others she’s debuted these last few weeks, but that doesn’t take away from its appeal. In fact, it only proves how versatile of a dresser Edgar-Jones is, something we’re excited to witness her and her stylist play around with as her acting career continues to flourish.
Ahead, shop the controversial hot-pants trend that this dynamic styling duo made look as elegant as any tailored suit or glamorous gown. Just remember to use Edgar-Jones’s NYC ensemble as inspo the first time you wear it.
