The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Mixed New With Vintage
The week's best red carpet moments were filled with archival throwbacks.
Reported by Vogue.
Summer may technically be a slow season, but Hollywood's red carpets clearly missed the memo. Premieres, parties, and paparazzi moments kept the style stakes high all week — and according to Vogue, the most compelling looks weren't exclusively fresh off the runway. The real story was in how seamlessly celebrities blended archive pieces with current-season dressing, making the case that great taste has no expiration date.
At the Toy Story 5 London premiere, Greta Lee arrived in a custom red High Sport halter column dress dusted with starry embellishments — sleek, festive, and completely her. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez brought the full spectacle to the Office Romance premiere in L.A. wearing an archival Atelier Versace ballgown, its laser-cut detailing and crystal work giving an otherwise classic silhouette a sharp, irreverent edge.
The Vintage Pull Is Real
The archive moments this week were genuinely impressive. Ellie Bamber — who plays Kate Moss in Moss & Freud — wore a red, yellow, and black tube dress from Calvin Klein's fall 1997 collection, a lineup famously associated with Moss herself. That's not styling, that's casting. Sydney Sweeney kept it comparatively understated in a black Chanel dress from fall 2003, spotted out in New York with boyfriend Scooter Braun. Whether these pieces are being sourced by elite stylists or acquired through some very competitive late-night bidding, the effect is the same: wearing history like it was made for right now.
Off the red carpet, the week delivered its own quiet highlights. Kaia Gerber hit Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica in a cream Mango trench over a navy dress — proof that a high-street coat worn with total conviction reads exactly as luxurious as anything else. Kim Kardashian arrived at Spago in a figure-skimming chocolate-brown lace gown alongside Kris Jenner, who countered in a cream mini with a bold black bow. A mother-daughter dinner that somehow felt like an editorial.
The throughline this week wasn't newness — it was intention. Whether a look cost a fortune or came from 1997, the women who stood out wore their clothes like they'd already decided they looked incredible before they walked out the door.
