Hollywood superstars tend to look for fashion inspiration in the most unusual places—even decades back into the past. Archival looks are a huge hit right now, and here are five celebrities who nailed this trend and pulled their recent red carpet looks straight out of the fashion history books.
Blake Lively
Blake Lively delivered several show-stopping red carpet looks while promoting It Ends With Us, but none created more buzz than this rainbow Versace gown, previously worn by Britney Spears during the 2000s.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter paid homage to another pop icon at the MTV VMAs and wore Madonna’s silver beaded 90s Oscar dress, designed by the legendary Bob Mackie.
Taylor Russell
Taylor Russell’s red carpet choices are always on point, and she turned heads at this year’s Venice Film Festival in a partly sheer gown with a cloud-like skirt detail from Chanel’s 1993 couture collection.
Kaia Garber
Kaia Garber went through her mother’s closet while looking for something to wear to the Toronto Film Festival. Her white Hervé Leger gown was previously worn by Cindy Crawford at the 1993 Academy Awards.
Halsey
Halsey promoted her new album The Great Impersonator with a series of nostalgic looks, including this animal print Versace gown at the MTV VMAs, originally worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1996.
