Chloe Sevigny has been a style icon on and off screen for decades, from her days as a New York It-girl in the ’90s to her most recent role as 1960s socialite CZ Guest. Feud: Capote vs. Swan, Sevigny is forever the queen of cool, and whether she’s rocking a casual pair of jeans or a striking style, as she did at a recent press conference in LA celebrating the FX series, anything she wears never fails to turn heads.
Sevigny matched the black-and-white theme perfectly in a floaty little white dress from Renaissance 2024 collection, pairing it with a black hair bow, pointy-toed pumps, and a classic red lip. The relatively simple outfit combined a coquettish, babydoll aesthetic with a trend we never thought would come back: a bubble hem.
Love them or hate them, bubble hemlines were everywhere in the early 2000s, but today’s versions are even more voluminous and therefore elegant than their predecessors.
Scroll through to see contemporary dresses and skirts featuring bubble hemlines. Adjust the fullness with sport-inspired drawcord toggles, or opt for the designer’s interpretation in a stunning fabric perfect for a summer wedding. And remember: when in doubt, the bigger the bubble, the more Chloé.
