Lyon’s signature high-low approach is well documented. A classic example is this military shirt and ball skirt combo she wore to the Mara Hoffman show during NYFW. 

At the 2016 Glamour Women of the Year awards Lyons wore a pyjama top (this one was from J. Crew’s collaboration with London haberdasher Drake’s) tucked into a bubblegum pink skirt and topped the look with a frayed olive work jacket. It’s a look we struggle to imagine anyone else pulling off.

Sure, elevated khakis are having a moment now, but Lyons rocked this tiered, matchy look back in 2016.

Those sailor-style pants you’ve been seeing everywhere lately, from Creatures of Comfort to Jessie Kamm? Lyons was an early adopter at the 2016 CFDA Awards.
 

The designer mixed denim and gold like only she can at the Addicted to Fresno premiere in 2015.

She played with textures and prints for a screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015.

We're obsessed with the floral pants she wore to the 2014 CFDA Awards in NYC.

The outfit she wore to a 2013 J. Crew launch in London, England was equal parts playful and professional. 

She went for an eclectic outfit at the premiere of Trance in NYC.
 

We can always count on her to rock a pop of colour, like these shoes she wore to a screening of In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye back in 2012.
