Kate Beckinsale Gives the Suiting Trend a Sparkly Boost With a Sequin Blazer, Shorts & Platform Heels at the Jolt Premiere

Kate Beckinsale just brought one of 2021’s biggest trends to the red carpet.

Last night, Beckinsale attended the screening of her new movie, “Jolt,” wearing a suit from Zuhair Murad. Beckinsale’s ensemble included a blazer and shorts. Shorts suiting sets, a look made popular in the ’90s thanks to the likes of Julia Roberts and other stars, are having a major moment right now. Suiting in general is also a big styling hack this season as they offer a timeless and classic feel.

Beckinsale, however, gave the trend a sparkly upgrade as her number featured sequins. Both her blazer and shorts were adorned with the glitzy material with a pattern made to look like a cat.
