The Politician Season 2 Has Gossip Girl-Level Fashion Worthy of Blair Waldorf's Approval

You're guaranteed a handful of things when you go into The Politician season two: drama, musical Ben Platt moments, and amazing style. The Netflix series from Ryan Murphy gave us plenty of suits and bows to talk about (and base Halloween costumes off of) last year, and after binging the latest season, I can report that the fashion is just as good. With New York as its backdrop, the tailored coats and beaded collars look perfectly in-place - and actually remind me of another Upper East Side show. Is anyone else getting Gossip Girl vibes?

I think Blair Waldorf would be envious of all the Gucci, Tory Burch, and Valentino worn by Payton Hobart's campaign crew. It's easy to imagine Serena Van der Woodsen and Georgina Hobart sharing a closet too, with their love for flowing gowns. We can thank costume designer Claire Parkinson and her sister/assistant, Lily, for all the incredible outfits this season.

The sisters told Tory Daily they wanted the cast's style to reflect their season two graduation into state politics. They're more polished, confident, and elevated than before. Claire and Lily's inspiration? "Gloria Steinem, JFK, Princess Di, Shirley Chisholm, Nancy Pelosi, the Obamas, the Clintons and Angela Davis," they said. "We really love JFK and Jackie O's style, especially their more casual out-of-office looks. And Kamala Harris is always so chic."

Check out the lavish looks ahead, and shop a few of the exact pieces from the show - as well as a few similar picks that don't require a Hobart-sized inheritance to purchase.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
