Laura Bailey's Most Iconic Looks: High-Fashion Runways to Comic-Con Red Carpets
By Alexander Ross
In October 2021, Bailey expanded her sartorial footprint through an acclaimed design partnership with historic Jermyn Street shirtmaker Budd. Collaborating alongside longtime friend and stylist Cathy Kasterine, she created the Bailey x Budd collection to reimagine classic menswear pieces for a discerning female audience.
The collection leaned into crisp poplin shirts, silk pajamas, and tailored nightwear, celebrating the sensory appeal of heritage British manufacturing. Bailey used the project to showcase an intimate, relaxed form of allure, one defined by oversized cuffs, unbuttoned plackets, and the borrowed-from-the-boys confidence she had long mastered in her personal wardrobe.
Fashion critics applauded the line for bypassing fleeting seasonal trends. By prioritizing fabric weight, cut, and durable craftsmanship, Bailey and Kasterine offered a compelling argument for slow luxury, demonstrating that classic haberdashery holds a potent, timeless appeal.
