Our Pick: Top 10 Vintage Fashion Looks From Celebs
In recent times, we have all been preaching about recycling. This has caught on in the fashion world, and even celebrities now opt for vintage fashion to show off their chic, elegant, and glamorous style.
Vintage is now a consolidated must. For some decades, it has crept into the wardrobes of the most stylish girls. We all now boast some historical fashion finds, stolen from our grandmother's kit, found in some flea market, or bought in a vintage shop.
In fact, celebrities seem to have rediscovered clothes and accessories considered outdated and now more contemporary than ever. And the result is always very fashionable.

Zendaya has always been known to make her mark in whatever she does, and her style is no different. For the 2020 Green Carpet Fashion Awards, she went back in time to choose a dress from the Versace Fall 1996 collection.
Anna Klevhag first wore the dress on the 1996 runway. During that period, Kate Moss and Carla Bruni wore a purple version of the dress, while Naomi Campbell wore a yellow version in the same show in which Anna K walked.
