Looks Familiar: Vintage Valentino

The dress was first seen on the catwalk in the 1990s, worn by Linda Evangelista.

The actress chose a black-and-white striped gown from Valentino's archive.

“Wearing a vintage gown on the red carpet relays a strong message of new consumption – vintage today is a lifestyle more than a trend,” Sophie Hersan, Vestiaire Collective’s fashion director and co-founder told us of the trend. “I think this decade will see this movement grow even bigger, vintage allows a celebrity to be glamorous and celebrate beautiful designs from the past whilst representing something more than fashion, making a stand for sustainability.”
