The Tamesis
It used to be that fashion was best represented by looks that just hit the runway. That’s not to say these moments don’t still thrill us (see: Ayo Edebiri at Chanel, Greta Lee at Dior, Emily Ratajkowski at Jean Paul Gaultier, etc.), but in recent years, celebrities have found new ways to surprise and delight.
The vintage and archive craze continues to go strong in 2025—no doubt the work of some truly brave stylists who cast a wide net, drawing inspiration from brands like Tab Vintage, Timeless Vixen, Opulent Addict, Shrimpton Couture, and other celebrity-approved vintage stockists. The 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars kicked off the retro fashion scene: Kendall Jenner looked nothing short of a femme fatale in a slinky black dress from Thierry Mugler’s Spring 1992 collection, while Kaia Gerber went for a more ethereal route in a cream cape from Valentino’s Spring 1997 collection.
In 2025 alone, some celebrities have sported stunning retro looks on multiple occasions. Keke Palmer’s looks included looks from Chanel, Dior and Versace, while Cynthia Erivo’s looks came from the archives of Givenchy.
But retro and classic looks aren’t just for the red carpet anymore—they’re now full-on dad walking suits. In Los Angeles, Rihanna showed off her baby bump in a candy-colored Pleats Please dress, while celebrities showed off their stylish looks on the streets of New York ahead of the 2025 Met Gala.
Next, let’s review FashionCelebrities’ favorite vintage and archival fashion moments of 2025.
