Sadie Sink Just Wore the Anti–Gen Z Trend That's So Elegant
When we think of Gen Z style stars, actress Sadie Sink is often at the front of the pack. The Stranger Things star keeps us on our toes, transitioning seamlessly from baggy, low-rise jeans to head-to-toe Chanel in just a few days. Obviously, the 22-year-old actress has range—and good taste.
Sink's look, a dress from the house's 2021 spring couture season, evoked a more retro style with its cardigan top and full A-line skirt. Paired with simple gold-and-diamond jewelry, black square sunglasses, and coordinating cap-toe slingback pumps, this ensemble was a dazzling departure from the star's typically oversize, super-casual off-duty attire. We're all for it.
If you're into the elegant A-line look, you're in good company. We've found a mix of 12 skirts and dresses that feature the voluminous silhouette and are begging to be taken for a spin this season. Ready, set, twirl!
