Culottes got your tongue? The return of the trend may have left many a millennial speechless, but as Monica Barbaro proved on Monday, June 9, all that handwringing over the resurgence of culottes—also known as gaucho pants to a certain subset of 30-somethings who shopped at Limited Too in 2005 (hi, hello)—is unnecessary.
The actor was photographed doing press in New York City this week wearing a white culotte suit (is that a thing?) which I first mistook for a midi-length dress topped with a matching white blazer. However, as I scrolled through more images of the ensemble, it became undeniable: Barbaro is wearing culottes.
The full look appears to be a three-piece set comprised of a cropped white tube top, a wide-lapel linen blazer, and white linen culottes that hit a few inches below the knee. The 34-year-old leaned into the minimalism of it all, accessorizing with a sleek gold collar and cream pumps with a curved heel.

Believe it or not, the most surprising element of her ensemble—to this writer, at least—is her bare nails. Low-key nude manicures have been trending for a minute now, but Barbaro’s nails appear truly unvarnished. And that’s a win for women everywhere who have a hard time maintaining a manicure.
