There’s something to be said about friends who match their outfits for a night out, especially when they’re Simone Ashley and Anne Hathaway. The double act was spotted sitting next to each other on the front row of Balenciaga’s recent SS26 show during Paris Fashion Week on Saturday night, both effortlessly nailing the goth-chic aesthetic.
Though their looks were both widely different in silhouettes and style, they managed to tie their looks together with the help of a few luxe leather statements.

The classic combination made the ultimate date-night look, Simone proving just how chic the LBD can be for any event.

To make it high-fashion, Anne added a pair of slim-lined, long black leather gloves, effortlessly turning the laid-back look into a high-fashion affair.
To match her bestie and colleague Simone, Anne also added a set of sleek black sunglasses and a handbag from the Spanish design house.

Both stars oozed It-Girl glamour for the occasion, whilst also proving that the current colder weather always welcomes both a darker colour palette and a touch of luxe leather.
