The Moment: All Eyes on Sepideh
ALICE + OLIVIA NYFW — Surrogate's Court, Downtown Manhattan
When ALICE + OLIVIA hosted their Gilded Age–themed Valentine's Day presentation at the grandly ornate Surrogate's Court in downtown Manhattan, the guest list read like a who's who of Hollywood's most style-forward names — Naomi Watts, Nicole Scherzinger, Julianne Hough, and Jamie Chung among them. But it was Sepideh Moafi who brought a distinct, quietly magnetic energy to the room.
Dressed in ALICE + OLIVIA's matching embellished denim set, Sepideh delivered the kind of effortless glamour that makes Fashion Week worth watching. The sparkling eye motifs scattered across both pieces caught the gilded light of the historic venue, creating a moment equal parts playful and powerful.
For an actress whose own fashion choices have carried cultural weight — her sequined red carpet tribute to the women's revolt in Iran at the 80th Golden Globes went viral — wearing a look this intentionally cheeky and self-assured felt completely on brand. Social buzz followed, and the denim set quickly became one of the most talked-about looks from the presentation.
The Jean That Stares Back
The foundation of Sepideh's NYFW look is pure ALICE + OLIVIA attitude. The ROXIE EMBELLISHED JEAN is cut in a relaxed kick flare silhouette from dark wash stretch denim — a shape that balances casual ease with a tailored sensibility. What sets it apart are the hand-embellished eye motifs, each one individually placed for maximum visual intrigue, with two cheeky eyes winking from the back pockets.
The low rise and relaxed fit give the Roxie a cool, lived-in proportion that pairs effortlessly with the cropped jacket above — the longer flare of the leg balancing the boxy, abbreviated silhouette of the top. In dark wash denim, the embellishments read as glittering accents rather than costume, making this a piece that works as hard on a night out as it does at a Fashion Week front row.
Cut from 98% cotton and 2% elastane, the Roxie offers the structure of a classic jean with just enough stretch to move with you all evening.
The Jacket With a Wink
If the Roxie is the foundation, the CHLOE EMBELLISHED DENIM JACKET is the exclamation point. Cropped and boxy, it sits perfectly above the high waist of the Roxie Jean, creating a clean break that elongates the leg and balances proportion. Across the entire surface, sparkling beaded eye motifs catch the light from every angle — a design that is unmistakably, unapologetically A+O.
The Chloe's boxy fit is intentional: it adds a modern, street-influenced edge to what could have been a straight-forward denim jacket. Instead, it feels current, fashion-forward, and just a little bit irreverent — exactly the energy Sepideh brought to Surrogate's Court. Crafted from 100% cotton denim with front button closures, it layers over everything with equal confidence: a silk slip dress, a vintage tee, or — as Sepideh showed — its perfectly matched counterpart.
Together, the Chloe and the Roxie form one of the season's most covetable co-ord sets: a denim suit with personality baked into every bead.
Why Sepideh and ALICE + OLIVIA Make Perfect Sense
Bold women. Bolder fashion.
Stacey Bendet has always designed for women who dress for themselves — women who use fashion as a form of expression, confidence, and even resistance. Sepideh Moafi, whose Golden Globe red carpet look became a symbol of solidarity with Iranian women fighting for freedom, is exactly that kind of woman. She doesn't dress to blend in; she dresses to say something. The embellished denim set she wore at NYFW — sparkling, structured, and undeniably joyful — speaks that same language.
At ALICE + OLIVIA's Gilded Age Valentine's Day presentation, the collection celebrated romance, maximalism, and the power of dressing with intention. Sepideh embodied all three. To explore the full ALICE + OLIVIA universe and the philosophy behind the brand, visit the About Us page.
How to Style the Embellished Denim Set
The Sepideh
Wear the Chloe Jacket and Roxie Jean as a full co-ord set, exactly as Sepideh did at NYFW. Add strappy heeled sandals and a minimal clutch — let the embellishments do the talking. This is the look for a fashion presentation, a gallery opening, or any evening where you want to own the room without trying too hard.
Weekend Edge
Break up the set: wear the Roxie Jean alone with a crisp white fitted tee, white sneakers, and a simple gold chain. The eye motifs add enough interest to make a classic casual outfit feel like a considered, fashion-forward statement. Effortless Saturday energy with a hint of sparkle.
Full Sparkle
Layer the Chloe Jacket over a sleek black slip dress and knee-high boots for an evening look that plays with proportion and texture. The denim grounds the femininity of the slip, while the beaded eyes add just the right amount of drama for dinner, drinks, or a night at the theatre.
Layered Luxe
Style the Chloe Jacket over a silk blouse tucked into tailored wide-leg trousers for a fashion-week-off-duty moment. The jacket becomes a statement topper that elevates the whole look — proof that embellished denim doesn't have to be casual.
