In a sea of dresses, Yerin Ha—the actor best known for her role as Sophie Baek in the fourth season of Netflix’s Bridgerton—arrived at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards in high-waisted pants and black pumps.
The actor was there at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 1 because she’d been chosen as the 2026 Ambassador by the actors’ union. The honor cements her as one an emerging talent of the moment and, to be honest, a style star in the making too.

The look in question is a pair of black, high-waisted, straight-cut, pleated pants that she wore with a white crop top with short sleeves and pronounced shoulder pads and totally covered with delicate feather appliqués that added texture and dimension. The accessories were kept in black: pumps (barely visible under the pants) and a thin belt with a golden buckle that defined her silhouette. The contemporary ensemble is from the Spanish fashion house Balenciaga, as seen on their Spring-Summer 2026 runway. And on Yerin Ha, it looks like a dream.
Ha’s beauty look was natural and subtle and followed to perfection the beauty trends of 2026: luminous foundation, defined black eyeliner, plump lips in a pinkish tone, a touch of blush, and almost invisible eyebrows. The hairstyle was the ideal complement to the outfit too, with loose, light waves that were parted in the middle and placed behind her ears.
Her silver earrings and two rings—one on each hand—worked as a point of light and the final seal of a stylish outfit that places Ha in the spotlight as one of the most promising style stars. It’s the kind of look that proves, once and for all, that pants can be formal. Use it as inspiration the next time you want to look dressy but want something more interesting (and comfortable) than a skirt or dress.
