The quiet luxury trend is best described as understated clothing made from high-quality materials. The style became popular during the final season of the HBO series “Succession,” as viewers noted the sartorial cues and outfits worn by the characters that evoked opulence without being decadent. But in recent months, the trend has jumped off the screen and onto some of the most famous celebrities.
Stars like Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow have embraced the quiet luxury trend. Read on to see which celebrities have sported the style over the past year.
Meghan Markle
Markle is not only the Duchess of Sussex, but she's also been the queen of the quiet luxury trend lately: The American Riviera Orchard founder cemented her status as the queen of quiet luxury when she designed this Juliva Heritage set for SXSW last March.
Since then, Markle has been spotted wearing clothes from one of her favorite designers, Heidi Merrick. The California-born designer embodies refreshing quiet luxury in her dresses and more. During a recent trip to Nigeria, Markle brought the quiet luxury trend with her, wearing muted colors, light outfits, and elegant designs — all staples of the quiet luxury trend.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow has also embraced the quiet luxury trend through her own label: While attending the Council of Fashion Designers of America's 2023 Fashion Awards in November, the Goop founder wore an ensemble from her own G. Label by Goop.
The main element of quiet luxury in this look was the black turtleneck bodysuit, paired with a matching maxi skirt with a center slit. Paltrow completed the look with ankle-strap heels by Jimmy Choo. Her accessories included diamond drop earrings and a diamond bracelet by De Beers. The look was simple and sophisticated, with quiet luxury oozing from top to bottom.
Sofia Richie Grainge
Sofia Richie Grainge is also a supporter of the quiet luxury trend: The model's approach to style was prominently featured in her recent campaign for Stuart Weitzman, where Richie Grainge designed three different styles of shoes to complement her outfits.
As Richie Grainge enters a new chapter in her life – expecting her first child with husband Elliot Grainge – her style is more tailored and sophisticated, evoking a quiet luxury trend.
Angela Bassett
Esteemed actress Angela Bassett is known for her eye-catching looks on the red carpet. But her style is just as versatile as her talent. Last year, she showed off her approach to the quiet luxury trend while attending the Talking Pictures Screening Q&A for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the 34th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. Her cream-colored tailored suit and matching blouse were the perfect complement to the quiet luxury trend.
Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes regularly wears styles that adhere to the quiet luxury trend. At the Kering Women in Motion Talks at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, the actress wore a crinkled-collar zipper jacket paired with pastel yellow capri pants. Under the jacket, she wore a lime green tunic top.
