So many of the most influential celebrity fashion moments in recent years have come from stars dipping into the archives, and that can certainly be said for 2022, which saw more than a few breathtaking vintage dresses the red carpet.

For the Cannes Film Festival in May, Bella Hadid turned heads for all the right reasons, wearing a dramatic black dress from Gianni Versace’s spring/summer 1987 collection.

Always one to tell a story with her fashion choices, conceived in partnership with designer Law Roach, this was perhaps the most talked about look on Hollywood’s biggest night.

The actress wore a pink Louis Vuitton dress, which was inspired by the white dress Monroe wore in the 1955 film. The seven-year itch. Although different in color and much longer, the dress featured the same pleated satin style and deep V-neckline, and was a subtle nod to one of Monroe’s most iconic fashion moments. Unfortunately, de Armas’ big premiere appearance didn’t get the attention it deserved at the time, as it happened on the same evening that Her Majesty the Queen’s death was announced.
