"The true measure of a fashion icon goes far beyond access to designer wares. After all, a great stylist and near-unlimited budget unlock all sorts of luxury pieces, including the rarest archival designs. What's more impressive, however, is when a style star elevates a brand that's high-street and turns it into high-fashion. One such fashionista is Anne Hathaway, who went viral for wearing a white poplin shirtdress from Gap to attend a luxurious Bulgari event."
"Ortega, aka the personification of gothcore, gave the aesthetic a nostalgic twist. Crafted in a gray acid-wash-style cotton jersey, the floor-length number featured sleeveless straps with an additional halter detail along the middle. Her décolletage was framed by a knotted detail while a sliver of her black lace bra peered out. For a grunge vibe, the dress was extremely distressed. It featured multiple cutouts - nay, slashes - throughout."
Fashion icon status can surpass designer access when a star elevates high-street brands into high-fashion. Anne Hathaway wore a $158 white poplin Gap shirtdress to a Bulgari event, styled with eye-watering jewelry by Erin Walsh. Jenna Ortega wore custom GapStudio to a New York red carpet during the Netflix season two press tour on Aug. 28, styled by Enrique Melendez. Ortega's floor-length gray acid-wash cotton jersey dress featured sleeveless straps, an additional halter detail, a knotted décolletage, and a sliver of black lace bra. The look was heavily distressed with multiple slashes and a shredded, braided, knotted back, channeling '90s grunge revival.
