Stars are slaying monochromatic outfits and serving Us with their most matchy-matchy looks.
From Princess Kate always looking chic in a single-color pantsuit to Rihanna pairing a mint green dress with a coordinating shawl in 2019, celebrities have gotten creative with the fabulous fad.
As fashionistas know, monochrome dressing consists of wearing the same shade from head to toe. Whether it’s a dress and pair of shoes or a fashionable suit, the colors must be the same.
Kendall Jenner revived the trend in February 2023 when she was spotted out and about in Los Angeles. The supermodel paired a suede maroon mini dress with opaque matching tights. The elegant frock featured a cowl neckline with a nude lining, gold metal straps and a bodycon fit. To dress up the look even more, the Kardashians star wore a pointed toe pair of heels.
One of the most timeless single-shade styles was Zendaya’s number at the 2019 Save the Children Gala. She stunned in a suit from her 2019 collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger. The California native went shirtless underneath the jacket and paired the ensemble with silver Jimmy Choo heels.
While the monochromatic trend has been around for decades — especially with Paris Hilton rocking Juicy Couture tracksuits in the early 2000s — the aesthetic experienced a revival in 2021 when Jill Biden, Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris all wore monochromatic looks at President Joe Biden‘s inauguration. The simplicity of the look took over the internet and has been adored ever since.
We’re taking a look back at the best monochromatic looks of all time.
