Lily-Rose Depp Has the French Girl Alternative to the Classic Biker Jacket
The leather biker jacket is a sleek wardrobe mainstay that never fails to give an outfit that extra oomph. Throw it over a white T-shirt and jeans and the look is classic and cool; wear it with a more feminine dress, and the ensemble has some unexpected edge. And while the piece certainly isn’t going anywhere—it’s timeless—that doesn’t mean there’s room for it to evolve. Lily-Rose Depp sure knows how. The French-American actress attended the premiere of Les Fauves in Paris last night, dressed in a leather jacket that took the attitude of the moto in a new direction: nipped at the waist and puffed at the shoulder.
Those distinctive 1980s proportions—big up top, tailored at the waist—were a major trend on the Spring runways, spotted at Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, and Balenciaga. Depp paired her jacket with an unbuttoned white blouse and streamlined black trousers, and gave the look a glitzy, evening-ready finish with metallic gold heels.
While fashion from the ’90s and the early-aughts has been having a renaissance, Depp’s surprisingly current take on an even more retro silhouette feels undeniably cool; a throwback well worth revisiting.
