Ayo Edebiri Wore Mary-Kate Olsen's Favorite Boot Trend

published 15 February 2025

Certain outfit combinations always make sense. For me, this includes skinny pants styled with riding boots. As an avid horseback rider, Mary-Kate Olsen knows that the combo is not only chic but functional for competitive show jumping. Kate Middleton is also a fan of pairing skinny pants with riding boots, even if there's no barn in sight. But this is far from the only way you can style riding boots. Enter Ayo Edebiri.

The actress was just photographed in New York City wearing riding boots with a sheer black skirt. It's certainly a surprising choice considering the frigid temperatures in NYC right now, but at least her leather bomber jacket would have helped fend off the chill. Let's hope she was en route to someplace cozy and warm.

Ayo completed her outfit with a very chic accessory: Strathberry's Charlotte Drawstring Bag ($425). As I previously reported, Strathberry makes its bags in a region of Spain renowned for leathermaking. I saw firsthand how the bags are impeccably crafted, so I'm not surprised they end up in the hands of celebrities such as her. Scroll down to see her new outfit.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
