“I’m not sure I should even be here this week!,” Ziwe says from her hotel in Paris ahead of attending Friday’s spring 2023 Loewe show. “I’m in the middle of an edit for a Julia Fox episode.” The chance to take in Jonathan Anderson’s latest, however, was too good to pass up. “What’s really nice about Loewe is that they have a sense of humor about their fashion,” she says—and the same can be said for Ziwe. On Ziwe, her eponymous late-night talk show, the 30-year-old comedian, writer, and producer’s character can reliably be found channeling a high-fashion mix of Paris Hilton in The Simple Life and Dionne from Clueless. (Plus fellow Loewe fan Rihanna.)

For Ziwe, there was never any question about what she would wear on Friday. “They sent me a look book and I was like, these hot pants are absolutely to die for—I immediately asked for them, and now I feel like Farah Fawcett,” she says of the ultra short-shorts she wore underneath a long quilted grey jacket. “The coat is so iconic that you don’t want to overshadow it,” she says. “And I love the balloon shoes—they’re really, really comfortable, which is wild. I was rubbing them earlier because they look so lightweight that you almost expect them to be full of air.”
