'All’s Fair' serves high drama and a high-octane wardrobe
Fashion
Attorney attire just got its own case.
If there’s one show everyone is talking about in 2025, it’s “All’s Fair,” Ryan Murphy’s new legal drama with an iconic all-female cast that brings a formidable force and equally powerful wardrobe. Starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close, the prolific producer—known for Netflix’s "Monsters" and Hulu’s "American Horror Story"—built the hyper-reality show around Kardashian, who plays ambitious attorney Allura Grant. The story follows Grant as she and her business partners fight for justice, representing high-profile clients and scorned women amidst messy relationship downfalls.
As we near the halfway point in the show—broadcasting on Hulu (Disney+ for viewers in the UK) and airing weekly until the season finale on December 23rd—we spotlight the costuming: a supercharged vision of modern corporate wear, curated by Paula Bradley, and featuring custom-tailored looks by Kevin Mayes, Charles Harbison, and Sergio Hudson. It’s a lesson in power dressing for all ages, whether that’s a rare custom vintage, shoulder pad-heavy pant suits, instantly recognizable designer bags, or razor-sharp stilettos. Highly curated and deeply considered, the designer-heavy costuming is generating a good amount of buzz, which is why we’ve wanted to do a deep dive into the main characters' sartorial personalities, giving you the opportunity to shop out both exact and inspired-by pieces for each of the series' well-heeled legal leads.
Allura Grant
For Allura, it’s all about shape, silhouette, and sex appeal—structured shoulders, cinched-in waistlines, and thigh-high slits—not to mention rare, vintage couture that can’t be replicated (we’ve captured the vibe in our shopping links, and provided exact matches when possible). Kim Kardashian brought in her own stylist, Soki Mak, to help manage her character’s ever-changing ensembles and ensure they felt unique to her. In an interview with Vogue Hong Kong, Kardashian compares the wardrobe to a new-age, old-Hollywood film. “It’s meant to get everyone talking and be theatrical. There is so much history around each and every one of these looks” In the first five episodes, you can spot vintage Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gautier, Roberto Cavalli, and archival Donna Karan. Allura goes heavy on the accessories too, whether it’s a Chanel briefcase, PVC beret, leather driving gloves, or one of her many Birkin bags.
So far, we’ve seen a lot of looks featuring one designer. At the auction party in episode two, for example, she dons a custom-tailored John Galliano-designed Christian Dior dress and blazer, while on a visit to the clinic in episode three she wears a tiger stripe dress and recognizable Orb jewelry all by Vivienne Westwood. Even at home she dresses to the nines. In the first episode we see her in a white, custom Roberto Cavalli dress and 18k Pasquale Bruni jewelry; later, she wears Fleur du Mal silk nightwear. And we can’t not mention the epic scene where she has her Beyoncé Lemonade moment, wearing a yellow Valentino Garavani silk chiffon dress, Balenciaga sunglasses, and Swarovski necklace.
Another standout look is a shopping scene in episode four with co-star Niecy Nash, where Kim wears a custom skirt suit by Dilara Findikoglu, paired with a lethal combo of red fishnet tights, red Ferragamo pumps, and red Birkin. Speaking of red pumps, a scene with Allura in a toilet cubicle sees her wearing FW97 John Galliano, a niche but recognizable dress to those in the know: Carrie Bradshaw wore the same Galliano silhouette as her “vintage wedding suit” in the “Sex and the City” movie. Kardashian's sister Kendall Jenner also wore the dress at Paris Fashion Week a couple of years back.
Carrington Lane
Fellow lawyer and long-term arch nemesis Carrington Lane (Sarah Paulson) enters the scene in episode one dressed ready to fight in sharp, often exaggerated silhouettes. Whether it’s a Stella McCartney shoulder-padded bodysuit, Nili Lotan belt, and wide-leg pants in episode four, or a more sinister black cape blazer with an outrageously big bow blouse in episode three, there’s always a villainous twist to her ensembles. Her style seems more trend-led, with classic workwear items like a strong pant suit or a sheer pleated top layered under a knit vest. Her jewelry and accessories often catch our eye as we’re tuning in, from the large Bottega Veneta drop earrings to the 18k Tiffany link earrings, and long leather gloves she removes only for dramatic effect.

Dina Standish
Next, the woman who inspired them all: Dina Standish (Glenn Close), the first female lawyer in the firm who demonstrates that power dressing is appropriate at any age. After leaving the firm, she re-enters their lives in episode two, serving us strong looks from a baby blue Dolce & Gabbana suit to an Oscar de la Renta blouse, an Erdem coat and Dior blazer—all timeless styles from the world’s longstanding luxury powerhouses.
Her wardrobe is refined and color is used to project power, although not in ways you might imagine. Signalling quiet strength, her palette consists of creams, whites, and pastels—not colors you’d naturally associate with power dressing, but a nice flip on the narrative. Her character also appears to embrace accessories like brooches as a power signal, which she wears pinned to tailored jackets from Dior, and a Valentino V Flap chain bag thrown in for good measure. In an interview with The New York Times, Bradley revealed that “no two women are ever in the same color in a scene, and their colors never clash.”
Emerald Green
By contrast, private investigator Emerald Greene (Niecy Nash) lives in vibrant jewel tones, punchy patterns, and sumptuous fabrics. Whether it’s a teal, feather-trimmed silk suit from a small boutique in Washington DC, a Zhivago sequinned houndstooth dress, or studded faux-leather pants from Rotate Birger Chistensen, she knows her styles and wears them to the max. It was Nash’s request to be dressed in clothing by Black designers, including LaQuan Smith, Charles Harbison, and Sergio Hudson—and that her looks be heavily accessorized. Take, for instance, her fedora hat from New York milliner Frances Grey, opens in new tab and vintage Chanel chain belt; her Kenneth Jay Lane clip-on earrings and custom pillbox hat; or the Max Mara bustier belt and gold Versace Medusa necklace.
Emerald's style momentarily quiets in episode four during a traumatic ordeal, but she bounces back when she’s ready to take it on, in what looks like an iconic Balmain shoulder-padded look.
Liberty Ronson

Allura’s partner, Liberty Ronson (Naomi Watts), also keeps things chic throughout with quiet luxury looks consisting of soft tailoring, sumptuous neutrals, and ethereal blouses. When Liberty is called to New York for a client trying to leave her husband (played by Judith Light), Watts arrives dressed in head-to-toe camel, from the fedora hat down to the cape coat and gloves (which she only removes to try on a ring she likes). Her style is softer, reflecting her maturity and character, with tactile outerwear, structured blazers, and floaty silhouettes—like the Tove Yana Blazer and (now sold-out) Stella McCartney cap shoulder blouse—purposely finished with her Dita glasses to read important documents with purpose.
When we see her casually dressed, it's often in a luxe sweater, like a James Perse sleeveless knit in episode two (which she pairs with Alice + Olivia cuffed jeans and a and Métier handbag) or a cosy cowl-neck Genny sweater in episode five. She always returns to her glamorous self, however, decked out in brands like Max Mara, Gabriella Hearst, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Tom Ford. Take, for example, the full Valentino Garavani look for the auction party in episode two, complete with the Jaguar Spots coat, matching skirt, and 9to5 handbag.
Milana
Finally, we can’t miss Milan (Teyanna Taylor), Allura’s assistant who betrays her with husband Chase in a steamy sex scene wearing Fleur de Mal lace boxer shorts. Milan wears more casual, sporty ensembles—perhaps to reflect her status in comparison to the other characters—although that doesn’t mean she’s not draped in head-to-toe designer. Rick Owens appears to be her go-to, from the velvet mini dress in episode five and asymmetrical yellow sweatshirt in episode three, to a scene at her apartment wearing a Rick Owens prong top with Jlani chain drop necklace and tailored Victoria Beckham trousers. We can only wait to see how her style progresses throughout the series, perhaps even reaching the outrageousness of her fellow costars.
