Margaret Qualley joined high-profile figures like Mariah Carey and Jelena Djokovic in embracing the summertime knit trend this season, while attending the “Happy Gilmore 2” premiere on Monday in New York City.

Qualley went monochrome for the occasion. The “Kinds of Kindness” star wore a button-down black knit sweater with side pockets at the waist. The long-sleeve garment featured shimmering rhinestone buttons running down the front placket. Coordinating with her knit sweater, she added a black knit miniskirt to her look, featuring detailed crochet elements.

The actress completed her ensemble with a pair of black heels. As for accessories, the actress wore silver rosette stud earrings.

Qualley’s knit attire for the “Happy Gilmore 2” premiere adds to an ever-growing list of celebrities embracing knitwear for summer 2025. Jelena Djokovic’s styled summertime knits at The Championships, Wimbledon on July 7, wearing a blue and white cable-knit vest courtesy of contemporary British fashion brand Varley.

Mariah Carey also styled a knit dress while in London on June 17, wearing a Tom Ford design following her performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium.

While the summer season often gives way to florals, lighter fabrics and linens, knits and sweaters can be a wardrobe’s secret weapon at this time of year. “A modern take on knitwear calls for a blurring of the lines,” Chloé Harrouche, creative director and founder of Loulou Studio, previously told WWD. “To look at the pieces with fresh eyes, to elevate and not put it in boxes. A fine cashmere sweater with jeans, a chunky jumper with silk trousers — these balanced contrasts, I believe, create the strongest silhouettes.”

Qualley often attends red carpet events wearing pieces by Chanel. The actress has a close relationship with the French luxury fashion house, having walked the runway for the label and attended fashion shows and events. The French luxury fashion house has crafted knitwear in the past, with designs appearing in the fall 2025 pre-collection.

At the “Happy Gilmore 2” premiere, Qualley joined cast members Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and more.
