Attempting to sift through decades of Chloë Sevigny style moments in the hopes of collating her most iconic looks, is akin to attempting to define Sevigny’s unique sartorial essence. That is to say, it feels like an almost impossible task.
How can you possibly? After all, Chloë Sevigny is a member of a very small circle of tastemakers who’ve travelled through life with an enviable self-assuredness that translates to being entirely inimitable. But less so because her style feels unattainable to the average person, and more due to the fact that Sevigny plays by her own rules – and always has.
Labelling someone an ‘It’ girl can often feel like a description that’s wildly hard to pin down – especially in the age of social media, when the term seems to be ascribed to every celebrity offspring in Hollywood, but it’s truly the case for Sevigny. And, as the actress and perennial ‘It’ girl turns 50, her confidence and personal style has arguably never been stronger.
As a woman who ignores trends and refuses to adhere to societal expectations of how a woman should dress after the age of 30, Sevigny is breath of fresh air in a world populated by the ageing-averse.
In celebration of the actress’ milestone birthday, we take a fond look back through the Chloë Sevigny style archives from fresh off the runway looks and avant-garde ensembles, to couture-coded casual outfits that elevate off duty dressing.
