Suki Waterhouse Just Styled a ’70s Inspired Look in the Most Modern Way

Despite being born in 1992, few embody chic, 1970s-inspired style quite like Suki Waterhouse. With her love of lace garments, bell-bottom trousers, and a warm palette of golds, browns, and greens, the multi-hyphenate performer has cultivated a signature aesthetic that somehow feels both entirely unique and right on trend.

Stepping out in New York this week, Waterhouse emerged in an outfit that reminded me exactly why she’s one of my style icons. Despite her outfit containing several key spring/summer 2025 trends, her look felt uncomplicated and effortless—the exact qualities I strive to achieve in my own wardrobe.

While skinny jeans are currently staging a comeback, Waterhouse sidestepped the trend in favour of a pair of mid-blue flared jeans. Designed with a voluminous cut that skims the legs before dramatically flaring out, her jeans created an element of movement and drama within her outfit that felt perfectly in tune with the free-spirited ethos of her well-cultivated style. Tapping into the denim trend that reemerged on the runway this season, Chloé’s boho-inspired spring/summer 2025 collection was rife with the ’70s-inspired design, signalling a return of the style is due to hit soon.
