Fashion is in a constant state of evolution. Past trends are borrowed and reinvented to create new trends, or at least newer versions of an existing style. For example, the flares and halter tops labeled modern Y2K fashion actually originated a few decades prior, pioneered by ’70s style icons. Even fairycore borrows some key elements from the period. So in case you’re interested in embracing 1970s fashion trends, we’ve rounded up 11 iconic celebrity outfits from the decade, along with the way models, musical artists, and actresses are wearing those same looks today.
Keep scrolling for our favorite ’70s fashion trends to wear today.
Upside Down Bikini
now: Kourtney Kardashian
then: Diana Ross
It may be one of the more confusing (and super sexy!) trends of the summer, but you can’t forget that Ross wore a similar, scrunched, string top in the form of a dress, way back in 1974.
Flared Pants
now: Victoria Beckham
then: Dolly Parton
These babies tend to resurface every few years, and as we move away from slimmer cuts and embrace chaotic bottoms, flares have become a wardrobe must-have.
Crochet Clothing
now: Olivia Rodrigo
then: Pam Grier
Summer knits
