For her Monday arrival look, Gerwig fashioned a piece from the Carven fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection. The sleeveless, camel-toned frock featured soft curves and a gentle fold on the bodice of the dress. The skirt was cut in an A-line style with a hem just above Gerwig’s ankles.

Gerwig’s dress of choice comes courtesy of Carven’s fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection. The collection made its debut during Paris Fashion Week last March, featuring designs by Carven’s creative director Louise Trotter. Trotter said she had “a woman who dresses for herself” in mind when creating the designs, as noted in WWD’s review of the collection.

Along with draped elements and soft curves, Carven’s fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection featured scooped vests, sculptural skirts and unique accessories like padded ballet flats. Trotter also emphasized that her designs had comfort front-of-mind. “How you feel in the clothes is very important to me,” she said. “I always ask the models: ‘How do you feel in that? Do you feel good in that?’”
