A year ago, every shoe, jacket, and handbag was available in not just the classic shades of black and brown but metallic silver, too. The statement color was practically everywhere, showing up on runways, social media, and celebrities right and left. Now? Well, I think I can speak for a lot of people in fashion when I say that I'm getting a little tired of seeing silver every time I go outside or log on to Instagram. Another statement color trend, though, is having the opposite effect.
Gold is making a big splash as we approach the holidays and the start of 2025. One of fashion's favorite style stars of this decade, Moda Operandi's chief brand officer and co-founder, Lauren Santo Domingo, wore a sequin gold blazer to a Chanel event at MoMA just days ago; The Perfect Couple's Meghann Fahy wore a minidress in the same metallic shade to Giorgio Armani's New York show last week; and Jasmine Tookes celebrated the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's epic return in a floor-length gold couture gown by Aadnevik. On Wednesday, J.Crew released its buzzy new collection with Christopher John Rogers, which included a bevy of shiny gold pieces, including an already-viral barn jacket. But the proof of gold's current uptick doesn't stop there.
WHO: Sofia Richie Grainge
On Thursday night, just days after the Academy Museum Gala, where she made her first official red carpet appearance since giving birth to her first child, Sofia Richie Grainge was spotted at Paris Hilton's concert at the Hollywood Palladium wearing—you guessed it—gold. For the show, she expertly made her metallic heeled mules the star of her outfit, styling them classically with straight-leg, dark-wash jeans, a white T-shirt, and an oversize leather jacket.
Whether you want to style it from head to toe or more minimally à la Richie Grainge, that's up to you. But trust me, you'll want to start adding gold to your wardrobe ahead of 2025. Feel free to utilize some of the closet space that once housed all those silver items from yesteryear.
