Leslie Bibb Just Wore the Fall 2025 Version of a Classic Shirtdress

We all have that go-to shirtdress—the one piece in your closet that’s practically a blank canvas, always chic, and reliably appropriate for everything from a Tuesday work meeting to a Saturday brunch. But sometimes “classic” just feels a little predictable.

Enter Leslie Bibb, who stepped out looking impossibly sleek in a straight-from-the-runway Michael Kors Spring 2026 Collection outfit. It's the sartorial equivalent of an expensive, well-tailored trench coat—all polish, zero fuss. The pareo, draped and tied at the waist, is the elevated element that transforms her traditional collared button-down into a show-stopping moment.

This look is perfect timing, too, because Bibb is in the spotlight thanks to the return of Palm Royale on Apple TV. As Dinah Donahue, the razor-tongued pillar of Palm Beach society, Bibb serves up glamour with a side of delicious desperation. In Season 2, we’re seeing Dinah ditching her trophy wife persona—which often came in the form of pristine, though stifling, vintage gowns—and embracing a new kind of power dressing. We're talking sharp pantsuits and a more modern, independent vibe for the '60s. Her Michael Kors outfit is the real-life manifestation of Dinah’s Season 2 aesthetic: confident, sharp, and totally owning the room without a single sequin. Keep scrolling to shop classic shirt dresses in browns that are perfect for fall.

Leslie Bibb is seen in Midtown on November 12, 2025 in New York City wearing a Michael Kors Silk Georgette Boyfriend Shirt and a Matching Wool Crepe Pareo from the Spring 2026 Michael Kors Collection.

On Leslie Bibb: Michael Kors collection top, skirt, shoes and bag.
