Sofia Richie’s opulent wedding flooded our newsfeeds last month, and her style—a cultivated bouquet of timeless and well-heeled looks—is still a hot topic of discussion. In a landscape that’s so saturated with quick-to-fade trends, Sofia’s sophisticated and refined approach to dressing is refreshing. She pulls inspiration from a library of classics, and there’s much to learn.
Sofia has undergone a colossal style transformation: When the model and designer first stepped onto the scene, she was typically dressed in oversized flannels, beanies, ripped and frayed denim, black band hoodies, and graphic T-shirts. Fast forward a few years and Sofia now gravitates towards super sophisticated ensembles—she’s usually found in Chanel tweeds, tasteful florals, tailored sets, and monochromatic numbers. Below, 16 of Sofia Richie’s best fashion moments to date.

Sofia took a dramatic stance in a fuchsia power suit designed by Destree for her dad's performance in Prince Charles' coronation concert. This vintage-inspired look is all about the details: The raised shoulders, voluminous sleeves, cropped cut, fabric-wrapped buttons, and strong pleats make a strong case. Sofia toned the severity of the outfit down ever so slightly by wearing minimal makeup and keeping her hair in natural waves.

The iconic sleeveless dress featured a criss-cross collar inspired by the Chanel fall 2023 collection, hearts on the bodice and front panel, a cut-out back, and a dramatic train. She kept the rest of her bridal look super simple with minimal, glowing makeup, white pearl stud earrings, a chignon bun, and white Chanel heels.

Days before her wedding, Sofia looked composed and sophisticated in a linen set designed by Posse. She paired the look with white strappy sandals, a tweed Chanel bag, and gold-rimmed sunglasses. She made the grown-up look a bit more playful by wearing a stack of bracelets and styling her hair into a ribbon-laced high braid.
