At the May 20, 2025, premiere of The Better Sister in New York City, Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks wore strikingly different fashion moods, but both brought serious star power.
With her 5ft 6¾ in (169.5 cm) frame elevated further by heels and fluid tailoring, Biel subtly towered over her 5ft 4½ in (163.8 cm) co-star.

Biel turned heads in a daring all-black Michael Kors Collection look that blurred the line between suiting and lingerie. She layered a dramatic longline blazer over billowy, wide-leg trousers that skimmed her pointy black heels, exposing her black triangle bra for a fashion-forward, ab-baring moment.
Beside her, Banks brightened up the carpet in a sculptural black Rosie Assoulin Resort 2024 gown with an asymmetric neckline and thigh-high slit that revealed a burst of rainbow-striped lining. She finished the look with sleek stilettos and Anita Ko drop earrings, balancing bold color with modern elegance.

The Better Sister is a psychological thriller limited series starring Jessica Biel as Chloe, a high-powered media executive whose perfect life is upended when her husband, Adam (played by Corey Stoll), is brutally murdered. Chloe is forced to reconnect with her estranged sister Nicky, portrayed by Elizabeth Banks, a struggling single mom battling addiction. As suspicions mount and buried secrets come to light, the sisters must work together to unravel the truth behind Adam’s death, all while navigating the emotional fallout and their complicated family history. Ethan, Chloe’s teenage son, is played by Jacob Lofland.
After commanding the red carpet in May 2025, Jessica Biel reminded us why she’s long been a fashion icon. Let’s rewind to one of her effortlessly cool off-duty looks that proves her timeless style.
