The Barbie press tour brought out some of the most iconic fashion moments of 2023, and America Ferrera was one of the many cast members who committed fully to the theme. But her favorite of all the designer fits she wore during the press tour is one that is the least Barbie-like look of them all.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Ferrera spoke about working with her longtime stylist Karla Welch to create the most eye-catching moments throughout the many press conferences, red (pink, actually) carpets, and interviews she did as part of the promotion for the summer blockbuster.
“I’ve had a lot of favorite Barbie fashion moments,” Ferrera told the magazine. “My stylist, Karla Welch, is just a killer. We had so much fun together.”
While Ferrera wore many gorgeous gowns — including a blush pink St. John dress and a red, cut-out mermaid gown— her favorite outfit of the entire tour was surprisingly all-black. Ferrera stunned in the leather Veronica Beard Pants and near-matching Tanya Taylor top, which she wore the outfit during a press conference in Seoul, Korea
“I just loved it so much,” Ferrera said of the outfit. “I mean, I’ve loved so many of the outfits, so it’s very hard to pick. But I remember putting this on and being like, ‘This is exactly how I feel.’”
It’s no wonder she felt powerful — the outfit was paired with sky-high, chunky heels and adorned with a thick belt. Stylist Karla Welch posted Ferrera’s outfit on Instagram, captioning the carousel of photos, “AMERICA the BEAUTIFUL.”
