Marquita Goings brought the heat this week as Hayley Lawson on Beyond the Gates, and this look was too good to ignore. Hayley may be dead set on her mission to kill Bill and steal his fortune, but she’s certainly doing it in style.
As always, Marquita, who plays the role of Hayley, rocked her Fairmont Crest alter ego’s look to a T. This week was no different. She stepped out in a rich burgundy halter top and matching leather midi skirt, with gold details running through both pieces.
The combination looked incredible on her and was enough to make Marquita Goings and her Beyond the Gates character Hayley our Soap Opera News Look of the Week for September 7-11, 2026.
Let’s talk about that outfit!
Key Takeaways
- Marquita Goings stunned as Hayley Lawson in burgundy and gold.
- The halter top and leather midi skirt worked perfectly together.
- Gold hardware tied the entire look together.
- The matching accessories finished off the outfit.
Breaking Down Hayley Lawson’s Look
Hayley wore the Bella Top by Lovers + Friends, a burgundy halter top with a plunging neckline and gold hardware at the neck.
She paired it with the Milan Vegan Leather Midi Skirt by L’Agence, which featured a row of oversized buttons down the front.
The two pieces looked like they were made for each other, and the matching gold details were a big reason why.
The Gold Details Made It Work
The gold details really brought the entire outfit together.
The hardware at the neckline matched the oversized buttons on the skirt, making the pieces look almost like a set. Against the deep burgundy color, the gold stood out in just the right way.
All About the Top
The halter top really made this look for us.
The plunging neckline and gold hardware added a great detail against the burgundy, showing off Hayley’s shoulders and working perfectly with the high-waisted midi skirt.
The leather skirt was just as good. It sat high on Hayley’s waist and hugged her figure nicely.
Those large gold buttons down the front were hard to miss and gave the skirt a little more personality than a basic leather midi.
The Finishing Touches
The look was completed with burgundy Cendi pumps by Schultz and gold Link earrings by 8 Other Reasons.
Hayley also carried the I Bite purse by Akira, adding another burgundy piece to the look. The matching shoes and bag kept the color going from head to toe.
Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, keeping it away from her face and allowing the halter neckline to stand out.
Her makeup included defined brows, lashes, and a glossy nude lip — the perfect combination with the focus on the neckline and gold details.
Marquita Goings wore it well, and Hayley was the clear choice for this week’s Look of the Week.
And as usual, we can’t end this without giving a huge shoutout to the hair, wardrobe, and makeup team at Beyond the Gates.
You’ve done it again!
