Ralph Lauren showcased his ready-to-wear 2023 collection at the spectacular Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California. The collection was crowded with Western-inspired cowboy boots and hats, leather and suede, and delicate floral printed prairie dresses. Of course, Lauren's signature preppy style was also included as well as elegant eveningwear. You can watch the complete collection below before we dive into some of the looks that the attending celebrities chose to wear on the red carpet.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
The newlywed singer-actress and actor rocked up to the show looking elegant and refined in business casual-type attire. Jennifer donned a black and white pinstriped dress with long sleeves, a plunging neckline and a slit in the left seam of the skirt to show a glimpse of leg. She accessorised with a complementary black clutch, and as a nod to Ralph Lauren's collection, she also wore a black cowboy-style hat. Her husband Ben accompanied her, wearing a monochromatic black suit, shirt and tie. The jacket featured natural shoulders, wide-notch lapels, a two-button closure, and flap pockets.
Chris Pine
Star Trek and Wonder Woman actor Chris Pine arrived at the event in a single-breasted slim-fitting slate grey and off-white plaid suit. The jacket had short notch lapels that finished high above the two button closures giving the effect of a shorter silhouette. For a touch of flair, it also featured a ticket pocket above the straight flap pockets on the right-hand side. Chris paired the suit with a classic collar white shirt and wide black tie with a square bottom that added to the shortening effect and matched his black loafers. He donned a snazzy green pocket square for a touch of colour and interest.
Jessica Chastain
Actress Jessica Chastain continued the checked trend in a vibrant red, black and white thigh-length blazer that showcased wide but long lapels and shoulder pads for a more structured look that balanced the looser white shirt underneath. She matched the black in her jacket with black high-waisted trousers that tapered down to her ankles, making her long legs look even more elongated.

Diane Keaton
Oscar-winning iconic actress Diane Keaton chose an androgynous outfit for her appearance, wearing a twist on the top hat and tails look. She combined high-waisted wide-legged black trousers with a white high-collared shirt and cinched it at the waist with a black satin cummerbund. The satin of the cummerbund was echoed in the enormous peak lapels of her calf-length matt black overcoat. The coat buttoned just below the waist and was cut to be able to show off the shirt and trousers beneath. Diane finished the look with a black bowler-style hat.
John Legend
Singer John Legend also chose a snazzy overcoat to ward off any chill. The black and white polka-dotted coat fell to his calves and sported elegant shawl lapels for a dressy feel. He matched the white polka-dots to his slim-fitting white trousers and the white spread collar of his vertically striped black and white shirt. A black silk tie with a beautiful silver tie pin rounded off the eclectically patterned outfit.
