Sarah Pidgeon’s Khaite Look Channels Carolyn Bessette Kennedy for Emmy Season
Sarah Pidgeon wore a draped charcoal mini dress and high-vamp heels from Khaite for press in New York. The actor, nominated for lead actress at the 2026 Emmys, played Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in Ryan Murphy's Love Story. During filming, Pidgeon wore vintage Prada and Valentino coats and had Levi's fitted to match Kennedy's exact look. She told Vogue earlier that the jeans were tailored to mimic how they fit Carolyn. The new outfit nods to Kennedy's minimalism without copying it: the short hem diverges from Kennedy's longer silhouettes, but the drapery and sleek footwear bridge the '90s and present. This marks Pidgeon's transition from the Love Story role as award season begins.
