Madison Bailey, who’s currently making an impact with her role as Kiara Carrera in the Netflix series Outer Banks, was among those invited to Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood celebration, which honored this year’s cover stars, Sydney Sweeney, Noah Schnapp, and Steve Lacy.
The 24-year-old actress took a walk on the wild side in a three-piece animal-print outfit in black and gray from Michael Kors Fall 2023 collection as she arrived at the NeueHouse Los Angeles on Thursday.
Not everyone can pull off a full animal-print look, but Bailey did so with tact. She wore a leopard-print shirt provocatively unbuttoned down to the breastbone and tucked into a thigh-skimming micro mini-skirt.

Looking straight off the runway, Madison styled her striking look with a wide, hip-hugging belt accented with a large silver metal clasp. She then layered the exquisite pairing underneath a matching leopard-print Chesterfield coat, which she stylishly draped over her shoulders.
A pair of sheer mesh black boots, most likely the Dolce & Gabbana “Lollo” created in collaboration with Kim Kardashian, added a few inches to her 5’8” height.
Available for $895 at Farfetch, these stretch tulle boots have a DG logo applique on the rear and a 4-inch heel.

Kyle Kagamida, whose celebrity clients include XO, Kitty’s Anna Cathcart and American Housewife’s Meg Donnelly, gave Madison’s outfit a sparkling finish with a statement diamond ring and the “Crescent” earrings from World of Freza.
These elegant yet contemporary earrings are made of darkened gold with 212 diamonds, 64 rondelle shape diamonds, and two trillion cut diamonds.

At the same time, Jenna Kristina highlighted her arresting features with brown smokey eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, and feathery eyelashes. She also gave her a bronzed glow and finished her glam with nude pink lipstick.

Madison Bailey on Reaching Celebrity Status
Her breakthrough performance as Kiara Carrera, a wealthy “athletic hippy chick with a socialist streak,” in Outer Banks propelled her to popularity. It cemented her place as a household name in the entertainment industry.
Despite earning celebrity status, Madison Bailey hasn’t allowed fame to change who she is or how she thinks.
In an interview with Elle, Bailey admitted that she sometimes loses sight of the fact that she is a “somebody” when people recognize her while she’s out doing grocery shopping in sweats.

She also spoke about using social media as her journal to connect with her followers and provide intimate details about her life rather than only sharing her glamorous moments.
“Sometimes I get nervous before I share something, but there’s so much that overpowers my nerves. Knowing that I am setting an example overrides my discomfort.”
When Is Outer Banks Season 4 Coming Out?
The fourth season of the action-adventure teen drama series, Outer Banks, was announced just days after its third season premiere in February.
Filming for the forthcoming fourth installment began in June and was anticipated to be released in early 2024. However, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the production was put on hold, which could result in a mid-to late-2024 release date.
