Katie Holmes, Kendall Jenner, and Dua Lipa Just Wore the Rich-Looking Color Trend French Women Love
As someone who has studied and written about French-girl style for a decade, I know that a classic, timeless, and understated color remains a constant in a French woman's year-round wardrobe: navy blue. Whether it's in the form of a relaxed sweater, a chic blazer, a timeless pea coat, or tailored trousers, the rich-looking hue is an essential part of the chic Parisian look.
While it's always been a classic for the French, the expensive-looking color also happens to be having a major moment this fall/winter. The deep hue was spotted on head-to-toe looks all over the fall 2024 runways—from Altuzarra to Khaite—and recently spotted on several celebrities including, Katie Holmes, Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Saoirse Ronan—bringing a fresh energy to the understated color.
