If Suki Waterhouse’s style could be summed up in a snappy phrase, that phrase might be: “More is more.” And at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards, she made that fashion MO crystal clear in a Valentino look that was chaotic in the best way: sequins, sheer lace, feathers, the whole nine yards. Suki, a Portobello girl through and through, waged a one-woman campaign against quiet luxury with the eclectic pink look plucked from Alessandro Michele’s spring/summer 2025 collection.

Suki has always tended to reject minimalism, embracing instead a modern take on Anita Pallenberg-esque nonchalance. Whether she’s on or off stage, she favours vintage fur coats thrown over ’70s-inspired tiered dresses, for a look that lands somewhere between London eccentric and Laurel Canyon boho.

Since giving birth to her daughter last year with partner Robert Pattinson, Suki has proven she has no intention of succumbing to a wardrobe of sleek, sensible basics. The former British Vogue cover star has instead doubled down on her signature aesthetic (this most recent Valentino moment is in stark contrast to the “giant white Madewell muumuu” she described as her pregnancy uniform).

“Everything’s become so clean,” Waterhouse previously told British Vogue, reflecting on how things have changed since her 2010s It-girl era. “You would look at all of us and think, ‘Oh, they’re actually having fun.’” The mood of that decade – playful, a little chaotic and never too polished – has always been at the heart of her style, and now, the rest of the fashion world seems to be circling back. Between the return of Chloé-fuelled boho mania and the Penny Lane coat becoming a celebrity essential, quiet luxury is sliding into the rear view. But the Memoir of a Sparklemuffin musician has been there all along. You wouldn’t catch Stevie Nicks in simple separates, and you certainly wouldn’t catch Suki, either.
