Stepping into the front row of Calvin Klein’s New York Fashion Week show, Olivia Wilde delivered the kind of clean, modern minimalism the brand has long championed.
Even years later, her look remains a masterclass in how Calvin Klein’s sleek tailoring and architectural accessories can create an instantly polished moment.

Her outfit anchored the label’s signature aesthetic: a cobalt netted dress layered over a black underlay and cinched with a minimalist belt. For the chilly February weather, she slipped on an orange wool coat from Calvin Klein’s Fall 2012 lineup—a punchy color contrast that still feels fresh more than a decade later.
Finishing the look was a black clutch and a pair of sculptural Calvin Klein platform pumps from Spring 2013, a style that encapsulates the brand’s knack for refined, architectural footwear.

How do you feel about Olivia’s vivid orange-and-blue pairing? And those black-and-gold pumps—hard to ignore, right? They strike that rare balance between elegant and unapologetically bold.
From the front, the shoes read almost like classic d’Orsay suede pumps, complete with a slim ankle strap and clean, sculpted lines. But the moment she turns, the mood shifts—the heels reveal a dramatic, gilded, sculptural block that either wins you over instantly or leaves you completely surprised.
As for me, I’m firmly in the “obsessed” camp. The contrast of a sleek black upper against those molten gold heels feels both modern and timeless—a statement that elevates the entire look without overwhelming it.
