Charlotte McKinney wore a statement python-print dress from Khaite with minimalist sandals by Larroudé for a luncheon on Thursday in Los Angeles at San Vicente Bungalows. The gathering celebrated the footwear brand’s spring 2023 collection, for which she appeared in its campaign.
The model’s bodycon midi dress from Khaite’s spring 2023 collection incorporated striking jacquard-stitched knit to create the appearance of python scales. Designer Catherine Holstein took inspiration for the collection line from director David Lynch’s films. “I was going through a very David Lynch ‘Lost Highway,’ ‘Wild at Heart’ phase this summer,” Holstein told WWD backstage last September. The collection also featured featherweight knits in bodysuits and corsets.
