What Michael Kors, Laila Gohar, and Megan Rapinoe Wore This Week

The first week of June has brought a wave of summer store openings, outdoor cocktail hours, and dinner parties. And as Friday lands, the real excitement begins: The Cut’s best-dressed list is here.

Best Dressed: Laila Gohar

The buzzy New York–based chef and artist wore a Simone Rocha dress to celebrate her new collection of linens with Vis-À-Vis Paris.

Best Runner-ups: Akua Shabaka and Rebecca Henry

The House of Aama founders styled these bow-tie necklines for a private preview of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the 2025 Met Gala exhibition.

Best Cause: Susanne Bartsch

The outfits at the LGBT Community Center, a.k.a the Center, were amazing, and its Fashion Centered dinner raised over $350,000. Bartsch turned heads with a showstopping purple suit. Her Instagram confession? “I was so moved I actually cried.” Honestly, same.

Best Hair: Jiri Braxton (obviously)

The “Power of Texture” event showcased an incredible range of looks. L’Oréal’s initiative is impressive, too, advocating for cosmetology licensing requirements and curricula to include all hair textures and types.

Best Suiting: Megan Rapinoe

Wide-leg pants. Oversize blazer. A bolo tie. No notes on Rapinoe’s ensemble for the Art Arena Summit.

Best Sunglasses: Bette Midler, Michael Kors

Midler and Kors put on their sunglasses for the bright-pink-lit Fashion Centered dinner. And their expressions perfectly encapsulate how it felt to round up such a highly competitive week of outfits. Talk next Friday?
