Kinta Branson showed up at ABC's studios on Tuesday, October 8, in a bold combination of two fall color trends. With the help of stylist Jessica Paster, the Abbott Elementary star created an eye-catching look centered around a burgundy striped shirt and coordinating skirt. [Last month, this trendy burgundy hue entered a new season on the Fall 2024 runway, with Tory Burch, Prada, Ferragamo, Gucci, Victoria Beckham, and others embracing it; on the Spring 2024 runway, Gucci and Bottega Veneta raved about the oxblood . The fanfare over burgundy also speaks to the long-tail effect of designers' obsession with cherry red in 2023. But this year's trend is for richer shades of black cherry, as seen on Princess Kate and Lily Collins in recent weeks

.

But the actor did not stop at sporting one trendy shade. Instead, she embraced the brat green trend by adding a bright lime trench jacket lined with burgundy gingham over a matching ruby red set. The shirt, skirt, and trench are all from Forte Forte's Spring 2025 collection, but similar options are available at Staud, Ray, and Burzat. She pulled off the bold color combination with burgundy pointed-toe pumps, gold hoops, and a chunky gold ring.

Earlier the same day, the Emmy Award-winning actor and screenwriter was in midtown Manhattan promoting the highly anticipated fourth season of Abbott Elementary in a Meshki tan plaid wool mini dress and beige double breasted coat, pointed-toe Larroudé over-knee brown leather boots, and an ivory Veronica Beard bag were seen wearing.

Has there ever been an outfit that so clearly proclaimed, “It's fall!”
