It’s a little Miss Massachusetts summer, according to Chloë Sevigny. So what does the coolest woman in the world wear in the thick, relentless New England heat?

The actor—who’s vacationing with her young son, catching live bands, enjoying the beach, and reading a whimsical book about mermaids (based on her latest Instagram dump)—posted an outfit photo that hits all the right notes for staying cool without sacrificing your personal style.

Sevigny wore a white graphic Lypsinka merch tee, showing she was way ahead of the current celebrity trend of wearing other stars’ merchandise. (Lypsinka, also known as John Epperson, is a famous drag artist. Sevigny worked with him to direct the 2024 short film Lypsinka: Toxic Femininity.) She paired the tee with a cute Dawn Sharp crochet hat, a patterned pink Vera Bradley bag, brown buckle sandals, and a breezy Fruity Booty skirt.

The cotton midi skirt—from the London intimates, clothing, and swim brand Fruity Booty—has built-in bloomers and a sheer, embroidered overlay. It’s a perfect mix of playful and proper, and practical for the heat. It’s a brand that everyone from Iris Law to Charli XCX and Addison Rae picks up for summers at the beach or in the sticky city.

It continues the trend of easy, airy, see-through summer pieces, where scarves become skirts and sheer prairie dresses are styled with cheeky flashes of neon underwear.

Of course, Chloë Sevigny knows no limits when it comes to fashion, and no matter the season, she keeps living up to her it-girl reputation. While she’s no stranger to Miu Miu or Saint Laurent, you’ll more often find her in vintage or indie brands like footwear label Jude, Giovanna Flores, Simone Rocha, or the aforementioned Fruity Booty. Keep checking Chloë’s vacation Instagram posts for more hot-weather style inspiration—heaven knows we all need the it-girl oracle right now—or for her next covetable closet sale.
