If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’m an Ayo Edebiri completionist. If Ayo wrote, co-wrote, produced, or acted in something? I’m 100 percent watching it. And much to my delight, I’ve discovered that off-screen, she’s just as cool—or honestly, maybe cooler—than the characters she’s played. If one thing is clear, it’s that The Bear star knows a thing or two about dressing.
If I was playing by the three-word method, I’d describe Ayo’s style as cool, menswear-inspired, and modern. We’ve seen her dressed to the nines in Bottega Veneta in jeans and a button-up while out and about—who knew there was a cool way to wear a tie in 2024—and to the contrary, on the red carpet adorned with a feathered shawl and elbow-length gloves. She’s proven that her style has versatility but remains simple and effortless no matter the occasion.
As the saying goes: When in doubt, dress like Ayo Edebiri. If you’re looking for style inspiration for this spring, you’ve found it. I’m recreating these four looks ASAP.

If you think a button-up shirt is boring, think again. Here, Ayo takes a button-up to a whole new level by opting for a luxe, silky one and pairing it with relaxed denim. Her silver accessories and heels take the look from business-casual to going-out-worthy, and the result is a cool-girl look that deserves to be worn on repeat.

If there’s one thing Ayo knows how to do, it’s nail a menswear-inspired look. Here, she manages to wear a suit set and crisp button-up in a way that feels modern and edgy—not stuffy. By half-tucking her button-up and allowing some midriff to show, she proves that just because she’s wearing a suit doesn’t mean she’s strictly business. Completed with loafers and square sunnies, this is a look that lives rent-free in my mind. For a more day-to-day take on this, feel free to ditch the blazer.
A baby-blue pantsuit and silver shoes

Baby blue is set to be one of the hottest colors of 2024, and Ayo is my inspiration when it comes to incorporating it into my wardrobe. Forget about a baby blue shirt or bag—I want to dress in it head to toe. The best part about this pantsuit is that you can take a page from Ayo’s book and wear it together or break it up and wear the blazer and trousers on their own.
A pantsuit, tee, and ballet flats

When we said Ayo was a menswear lover, we meant it. Here, she styled yet another pantsuit in an aspirational but attainable way by opting for a cream set, T-shirt, and ballet flats. I’m personally using this as inspiration on how to style the cream trousers I already own—how good do they look with black ballet flats?—and as a blueprint for a chic, monochromatic look.
