Nicole Ari Parker brought a polished take on neutrals to “Good Morning America” on Thursday morning, stepping out in a structured look paired with sculptural heels. The actress, best known for her role as Lisa Todd Wexley on “And Just Like That,” arrived in Manhattan wearing a statement shirtdress and bold footwear that gave the classic color palette a twist.
Parker’s khaki-colored midi dress featured an oversized collar that fanned across the shoulders, anchoring a silhouette full of utilitarian details: capped sleeves held in place with button tabs, dual-flap chest pockets and a zipper that ran from the neckline to the belted waist. A silver-grommeted belt cinched the look, echoing the functional hardware and adding shape to the tailored cut.
She carried the Diane L26 Heritage bag from Joseph Duclos in a deep Châtaigne brown leather, a structured accessory that complemented the dress’s earthy tone perfectly.

For footwear, Parker added a sleek hit of shine with Gianvito Rossi’s Black Mamba 85 sandals. Crafted from brown metallic-effect leather, the Italian-made stilettos featured a round toe and a coiled upper inspired by a snake’s sinuous shape.
The heel measured 85mm — just over 3 inches — and the design was finished with a custom metallic buckle that mimics a serpent’s head. The subtle gleam of the sandals gave her neutral-toned look a hint of edge, without overpowering the minimalist color scheme.
It’s not the first time Parker has turned to Gianvito Rossi. Back in April, she attended the YoungArts New York Gala at the Met Museum in a sparkling black gown and paired the look with the brand’s Cara slingback pumps — a d’orsay silhouette with a pointed toe, curved vamp and 4.5-inch heel. That style featured Gianvito Rossi’s signature Ribbon buckle and added a dramatic lift to the evening look.
