At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, model Elsa Hosk paid tribute to Claudia Schiffer by donning a vintage Thierry Mugler gown from the Fall/Winter 1995–1996 collection. The sheer, long-sleeved black dress was styled identically to Schiffer's original runway look, complete with layered pearl chokers and a blush flower accent. Hosk's homage highlighted the enduring allure of '90s high fashion.
While many celebrities dress in the latest season's fashions for the red carpet, others like to cherry-pick classic looks from old collections that deserve another moment in the sun. Not only is re-wearing vintage clothing more sustainable, but it also shows designers' creativity in updating archival looks for current trends.
