Chloë Sevigny has been a style icon for decades, both on- and off-screen. From her NYC It-girl era in the '90s to her recent portrayal of the 1960s socialite C.Z. Guest on Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, Sevigny will forever be the queen of cool. Whether she's wearing everyday jeans or a statement look, heads are guaranteed to turn—much like they did at a recent press event celebrating the FX series in Los Angeles.
Sevigny fit in perfectly with the black-and-white theme, opting for a puffy little white dress from Renaissance Renaissance's 2024 collection accessorized with a black hair ribbon, pointy-toe pumps, and a classic red lip. This relatively simple outfit combines pieces of the coquettish and baby-doll aesthetics with a trend we did not think would ever return: the bubble hem.
Love it or hate it, bubble hemlines were everywhere in the early 2000s. Today's iteration, however, appears to be even more voluminous and elegant than its predecessor.
Keep scrolling to see contemporary dresses and skirts featuring bubble hemlines. Adjust the ballooning with athletic-inspired drawcord toggles, or opt for a designer interpretation with an incredible fabric fit for a summer wedding. Remember: The bigger the bubble, the closer to Chloë.
