14 Times Celebs Walked The Red Carpet In Vintage Outfits And Look Absolutely Fabulous
They're classics that last through time.
In the world of fashion and celebrities, new is always exciting. When famous fashion designers create new collections, celebs often pay hefty prices just to wear these new clothes and showcase them on the red carpet. However, some celebs choose not to follow the trend.
Instead of browsing through new collections for an upcoming event, some celebs actually revisit vintage pieces. From Bella Hadid and Kim Kardashian to Dua Lipa and more, many celebs have sought style inspiration from the past and emerged with amazing vintage looks.
It's easy to understand why they would make that choice. There are plenty of designer pieces from the past that stand the test of time.
If not, the pieces are so iconic that they deserve to be shown to the world again, or they may have been worn by one of the biggest celebs in the world, like Marilyn Monroe, which warrants the piece becoming a staple classic.
Whatever the reason, going vintage is always a good option when it comes to the red carpet. Here are some of the most unforgettable times celebs brought vintage pieces back to life that we couldn't take our eyes off.
