Kim Cattrall is a talent that deserves to be celebrated. So it is fitting that British-Canadian actor was honored on May 30 at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment event in Toronto. For the occasion, Cattrall reminded us exactly why she’s worthy of recognition: for her contributions to acting, but also for her impact on the fashion world at large.

The Sex and the City actor, known for playing power publicist Samantha Jones in the OG series, pulled out all the stops and wore an elegant sequin and tweed matching skirt set to the event. It wasn’t the least bit surprising to learn that the set was made by a brand known for its bold femininity: Balmain.

Kim’s Glittery Tweed Set

Cattrall’s sparkly look featured a blazer with eight silver crystal buttons. She styled the structured topper with a black sheer collared blouse underneath. Her coordinating miniskirt hit just in the center of her thighs, and lent itself nicely to the sheer black tights and sandal heels she wore underneath.

A Balmain Stan At Heart

Cattrall attended Balmain’s Spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection in Paris back in September 2023. Surprisingly enough, the show marked her first time ever attending a fashion show in France. She told Vogue, “I’ve been invited in the past but I’ve always been unavailable, so to be invited by Olivier was incredibly special to me.”

Cattrall, clearly a big fan of Balmain’s creative director, Olivier Rousteing, was dressed in a different all black matching skirt set — a custom design in croc-embossed leather — for the show.

And below, you’ll get another peek at Cattrall’s Balmain obsession: the shimmering animal-print mini she wore to the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year awards in 2023. The dress was fully embroidered with black and gold sequins, while the oversized structured shoulders felt true to the bold take-no-prisoners style of Samantha Jones.
