We're on the cusp of fall. For some, that means it's back-to-school season; for others, it signifies the return of fashion month. But I associate this time of year with something a bit different: prestige television's comeback tour. No offense to all the fun TV shows that aired over the summer, but there's nothing quite like a September premiere. Thanks in no small part to the cast's stylish press tour, The Morning Show is high on my list of must-watch programs this month.

Promoting the fourth season of the Apple TV+ show, Marion Cotillard wore a glittery tank top and black wide-leg pants, both from the Chanel Resort 2025 collection. Instead of wearing jeans and a nice top for your next going-out outfit, why not emulate Cotillard and try flowy trousers instead? She's not the only French woman who approves of the trend—Jeanne Damas and Camille Rowe are also fans. Scroll down to see how all three women wear the pant trend and shop similar pairs for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
