Sarah Pidgeon’s Calvin Klein Turn at Vanity Fair Party Cements Love Story’s Fashion Surge

The red-carpet homage highlights the series’ outsize pull on contemporary fashion.

Overview

  • At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 15, Sarah Pidgeon wore a custom platinum sequin Calvin Klein column with micro spaghetti straps and a CK One–inspired clutch as a nod to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.
  • At Chanel’s pre‑Oscars gathering, she chose a periwinkle sequin slip from the Métiers d’art 2026 collection and told Vogue she felt “like a mermaid.”
  • FX’s Love Story remains a viral streaming hit that has rekindled interest in CBK-era minimalism and positioned Pidgeon as a fashion figure to watch.
  • The resurgence is measurable, with The RealReal reporting nearly a 140% jump in Calvin Klein searches in the week after the show’s premiere.
  • Questions over creative choices persist, as Daryl Hannah publicly disputes her portrayal and producer Brad Simpson says Carole Radziwill was omitted to center Carolyn’s sister Lauren.
