Charli XCX Goes Pantsless in Leather Jacket Minidress and Sky-High Boots at The Moment Premiere

Charli XCX doesn’t tiptoe onto a red carpet. She storms it.

At the London premiere of her new film The Moment, the “360” singer skipped pants entirely and turned a black leather jacket into a full-blown minidress moment. The look, pulled from August Barron’s Spring 2026 collection, was equal parts chaotic and calculated. Very Charli.

Let’s break it down.

The cropped black leather jacket was zipped up and cinched at the waist, creating a sharp silhouette with a slightly ruffled hem that hit high on the thigh. It had that effortless, “I just threw this on” vibe, but make no mistake, this was styled within an inch of its life. The structure kept it from looking oversized, while the high shine of the leather made it red carpet ready.

And then there were the boots.

Thigh-high, zip-up, and unapologetically dramatic. They climbed all the way up her legs, almost blending into the hem of the jacket. Slouchy but sculpted, they were the loudest part of the outfit and easily the star of the show. If you’re going to commit to a pantsless look, you need boots that can carry it. These did.

Accessories stayed sharp and intentional. Diamond-encrusted earrings, a sleek necklace, and multiple rings added just enough sparkle. Her chunky solitaire engagement ring gave the look a flash of personal glam. Hair was worn long, straight, and parted down the middle. Makeup stayed pared back with glossy lips and soft taupe shadow, keeping the focus on the leather.

Styled by Chris Horan, the outfit felt stripped down but confident. No frills. No distractions. Just attitude.

After her recent strapless Saint Laurent moment in Berlin, this feels like a return to her raw, brat-coded roots. And honestly? It works. One strong statement piece, an all-black palette, and zero apologies.

Sometimes, less fabric really is more impact.
