Taylor Russell may not be a frequent red carpet attendee, but when she does step out, she makes it count. Case in point: her stunning appearance at Tiffany & Co.’s intimate celebration for the latest Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection, held at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris.
For the occasion, Taylor reignited her love of vintage John Galliano, this time selecting a Fall 1995 black wool and silk ruffle jacket paired with a bias-cut skirt from the Dolores collection—an ode to the legendary Hollywood star Dolores del Río.
Now, if you’re a vintage purist, you might need a moment. The jacket has been modified, with significantly fewer ruffles than its original runway form. But before you clutch your pearls, let’s consider the context. This was a seated dinner, and the main event was showcasing her Tiffany Titan necklace in titanium and gold with diamonds. The sleek, stripped-back version of the jacket not only felt more modern but also served a practical purpose, ensuring that her dazzling jewelry wasn’t an afterthought.
Taylor also put her own spin on the skirt by amplifying the slit—another genius move to balance vintage elegance with a contemporary edge.
The conversation around wearing vintage is evolving. Fashion houses like Armani and Givenchy are carefully opening their archives, while Chanel and Balmain are reproducing archival designs. Meanwhile, vintage boutiques like Shrimpton Couture are making these treasures accessible to celebrities through loans or sales. If a piece is being altered, it’s safe to assume it was a purchase rather than a loan—further proving Taylor’s commitment to making this look uniquely hers.
Thankfully, she didn’t fall into the trap of over-styling with 1920s references. Instead, she kept things fresh with a simple updo and a sharp, blunt-cut tendril framing her face. The result? A masterclass in modernising vintage without losing its soul.
