After modeling Jonathan Anderson’s Dior drapery at the Venice Film Festival, the actor pivoted to a more futuristic sartorial vision. Promoting Tron: Ares, Lee wore a fresh-off-the-runway look from Luar’s spring 2026 collection. The electric violet suit featured sharp shoulders, an asymmetrical collar, and slim-fitting trousers with a flare. She accessorized with a pair of black wraparound shades and black pointy-toe pumps.

After pale yellow ruled spring and summer, Lee looked right across the color wheel for fall. She’s not the only one: the fall 2025 runways featured electric violet, from a double-breasted coat at Julian Klausner’s Dries Van Noten to a pair of trousers at Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford. Soring 2026 also looks promising for the vibrant hue. Colleen Allen showed a diaphanous interpretation in New York; Today in Milan, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons sent a knee-length dress with a full, pleated skirt down the Prada runway.

A warmer, Barney-esque purple has recently taken hold among celebrities, with Timothée Chalamet, Pamela Anderson, and Tyla all trying it out. But in her sharp Luar suit, Greta Lee is making a strong case for an electric violet fall.
