Ayo Edebiri is a vision in blue!
The actress, 30, wore a custom light blue Chanel dress to celebrate The Bear's fifth and final season at the Final Family Meal event on Monday, June 15, in New York City. Her striking look comes about eight months after she was named an ambassador for the luxury fashion house.
The piece, designed by creative director Matthieu Blazy, featured a spaghetti-strap lace bodice with a matching midi skirt. The slip dress featured floral patterns, while the middle was covered in sequins. The back of the top had blue feathers at the bottom of the straps.

Edebiri paired the festive look with silver stilettos, floral silver earrings and a diamond ring. Her hair was styled into a short bob with bangs. She also wore smokey eye makeup with silver shadow lining the corners of her eyes.
Speaking about her look to PEOPLE on the red carpet, the actress says, "This is a beautiful Chanel dress."
As for her time as an ambassador for the fashion house, she says, "It's been really great."
"I love the whole team. They're truly some of the greatest people. Matthieu is just like a genius, and he loves women," Edebiri continues. "I always feel amazing, whether I wear something very feminine or something a little more not. But yeah, this nice little blue is for The Bear. That's the vibe."

"Ayo Edebiri embodies a new generation of genre-defying performers who are constantly pushing boundaries. Her distinctive style, her wit and her singular perspective on the world make her a natural ally of Chanel," the fashion house told WWD in a statement at the time.
Edebiri has been part of the hit drama about a chef who takes over his late brother's sandwich shop since its premiere in 2022.
A synopsis for the final season teases that it "picks up the morning after Sydney (Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and "Sugar" (Abby Elliott) discover that Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them."
"With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they'll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant 'perfect' might not be the food, but the people," it continues.

Edebiri tells PEOPLE that she's "going to miss working with this team of people."
"We've found our own way of communicating. Not just with the cast, but with the crew. I've gone to other sets and realized that there's something that's very special and unique to what we do on this show with each other," she says.
The Bear season 5 will premiere all eight episodes June 25 on Hulu and Disney+.
