Never one to shy from a fresh fashion perspective, actress Lily Brooks O’Briant fused a playful, midriff-baring top with a dash of Y2K nostalgia (and a serious dose of denim) at a recent fan event in Burbank.
Her ensemble, a testament to the ongoing revival of late-90s and early-aughts aesthetics, was built on a foundation of effortless cool. The star of the show was a form-fitting, short-sleeve red cardigan, fastened with a series of tiny buttons and cropped to reveal just a sliver of her midsection. The vivid hue—a vibrant, almost candy-apple red—popped against the neutral gray backdrop, drawing the eye immediately. But the real surprise? The pants. O’Briant’s choice of wide-leg, baggy jeans felt like a perfect callback to the era of low-slung waists and relaxed silhouettes. The denim was a deep, unwashed indigo, featuring subtle pocket details and a tie-waist closure that added a touch of utilitarian charm. It’s a look that balances snug with loose, polished with playful.
Is this the new face of celebrity fashion? It feels less about the grand, red-carpet spectacle and more about a knowing nod to everyday style—an elevated form of what you might actually wear to grab coffee with a friend. The look was finished with what appeared to be dark, practical leather boots, grounding the outfit and ensuring it wasn’t overly precious. Her hair, styled in a simple, chin-length bob, was parted and tucked behind her ears, framing her face and highlighting her natural, understated makeup. It’s an approach to personal styling that feels authentic and wholly her own.
This kind of celebrity style is a masterclass in making a statement without screaming for attention, and it’s a look that fans of the show and fashion enthusiasts alike can appreciate. O’Briant, known for her role as Lucy Romalotti on The Young and the Restless, continues to prove that her fashion sensibilities are as sharp and versatile as her on-screen presence.
