Last week, Riverdale’s beautiful young star Madelaine Petsch showcased her emerging style during a whirlwind trip to New York. Traveling to the city to discuss her hit show with the entertainment press at the annual television upfronts and to meet and greet fans at the Vulture Festival, Petsch had 48 hours to take in the best of the city with her castmates Lili Reinhart and KJ Apa. Making a few wardrobe changes along the way, she made the most of the heat wave with a series of summery statement looks.

On Riverdale, Petsch sports the best in teen fashion as high school queen bee Cheryl Blossom, but her personal tastes skew sophisticated. Blessed with bright red hair and a bubbly personality, she’s capable of pulling off a variety of looks, but the upfronts called for pieces with star quality. Selecting unusual items like a houndstooth jumpsuit with a ruffled sleeve for her appearance at the Vulture Festival and an extraordinary black dress in duchesse satin, Petsch provided her youthful fan base with a shining example of grown-up style. Here, a peek behind the scenes of her busy big-city weekend.
