Actress, screenwriter, director and stand-up comedian, Ayo Edebiri has carved a meteoric path for herself in Hollywood. Propelled into the spotlight by the series The Bear in 2022, the young woman now expresses her personality both on screen and on red carpets. Starring in Luca Guadagnino’s film After the Hunt, she has also just been named Chanel ambassador. A natural milestone for someone who combines talent, humour, and elegance. Numéro takes a look back at the best looks of this rising star…
Ayo Edebiri’s style, or when elegance meets casualness
With her endearing personality, self-deprecating humour, and effortless grace, Ayo Edebiri is steadily establishing herself as one of Hollywood’s most promising new face. Known for her role as chef Sydney Adamu in The Bear, the actress and comedian has been awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actress in 2024 and 2025, as well as awards from the Critics’ Choice and Emmy Awards. Riding the wave of this success, she now makes her debut on the silver screen in After the Hunt by Luca Guadagnino, alongside Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield.
A regular on red carpets, Ayo Edebiri is cementing her status as a fashion icon. Blending minimalism and refinement, she shines in both contemporary designer pieces from The Row, Rosie Assoulin, or Emilia Wickstead, and in creations by major fashion houses like Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Valentino. The Prada red gown with train she wore at the 2024 Golden Globes left a lasting impression. The perfect embodiment of her ability to move seamlessly between sophisticated ensembles and more relaxed looks.
Behind these fresh, radiant silhouettes is stylist Danielle Goldberg, who also dresses other trendsetting celebrities, including model Kaia Gerber, singer Olivia Rodrigo, and actresses Laura Harrier and Greta Lee.
Whether opting for minimalist or glamorous looks, masculine tailoring or more casual outfits, Ayo Edebiri embraces a natural style and understated sensuality. Among her fashion statements are the Loewe suit worn at the 2025 Golden Globes – a deliberate nod to the Armani suit that Julia Roberts wore in the 1990s – or the coral Ferragamo gown with pearl. She sported that look at the 2025 Met Gala, inspired by the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which also paid tribute to the Edo ethnic group, from which her father comes from. Last October 2025, she stunned everyone at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures gala in a Chanel creation by Matthieu Blazy, unveiled just days earlier…
A few weeks ago, Ayo Edebiri was officially named Chanel ambassador. Already standing out at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, the actress now joins the exclusive circle of the house’s muses. The announcement, made by Matthieu Blazy on the eve of the Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris, marks a new chapter in the collaboration between the artist, the designer, and the fashion house.
Regarding her new status, Chanel stated: “Ayo Edebiri embodies a new generation of genre-defying performers who are constantly pushing boundaries. Her distinctive style, wit, and singular perspective on the world make her a natural ally of Chanel.” At the runway show, she was radiant in a simple, minimalist outfit – raw cuffed jeans and a classic black jacket.
