For her Vogue France September 2025 feature documenting her Milan Fashion Week diaries, Charli D’Amelio champions a fascinatingly discordant vision of high fashion. Captured in this studio portrait, she leans into the contemporary “Antifashion” trend that has defined the post-pandemic era, skillfully blending comfort with a defiant, feminine edge. The overall effect is less about the grand gesture and more about the confident subversion of established dress codes.
The central tension of the look is the deliberate mismatch between the voluminous top and the diminutive bottom. D’Amelio wears a thick, oversized light grey crewneck sweatshirt, which speaks to modern casualwear. Yet, this piece is immediately transformed by the addition of a lush, blond fur-trimmed collar—a detail that recalls decadent 20th-century luxury. This juxtaposition of the cozy and the couture is sharp. Below, the styling becomes purely provocative: a delicate, barely-there sheer pink slip skirt with lace trim, visually resembling lingerie.
The accessories anchor the outfit firmly in the realm of Milanese luxury. In her dark-manicured hands, she holds a supple, off-white or ivory leather clutch bag, which, in the context of her fashion week attendance, appears to be a distinctive Prada piece. Her shoes are the ultimate sign-off: pointed-toe dark purple or black satin pumps, lending a classic, sultry polish to the otherwise rebellious ensemble. Her dark, glossy hair and direct, cool gaze complete the styled shoot atmosphere, making it clear that she is in full control of this cultural moment.
