Chloe Cherry might have had the best time at fashion month. The Euphoria star turned heads in New York, London, and Milan as she gleefully took in her first fabulous fashion weeks. Perpetually colorful and not yet jaded, she soaked all those flashing lights up.
The actor’s first appearance was in the front row at Maryam Nassir Zadeh, for which she wore a pert cardigan with a cutout top, a sheer slip skirt, and strappy shoes. Cherry, known as the loveable ditzy Faye in Euphoria, was transformed into a saucy art babe among Zadeh’s kombucha-guzzling cult followers. A few days later Cherry posted a photo of herself at the London Edition in a preppy striped Alessandra Rich knit dress. She followed this up with a snap of her popcorn halter dress by the buzzy London designer Chet Lo—a London cool-kid dream! She didn’t only attend shows. In Milan, she walked for both the babe-beloved Blumarine, which sent her out in a powder purple miniskirt and matching bomber jacket, and GCDS, where she wore in an itty-bitty black dress with a crystal bra.
The 24-year-old’s designer-packed looks were styled by Tabitha Sanchez, the brain behind some of TikTok’s biggest fashion stars (including Lil Huddy, who has since become a Saint Laurent darling). Cherry met Sanchez through Instagram, and the two hit it off. “When you work with a stylist, someone can actually see your look and vibe from an outsider’s perspective and put together what works,” she says. “Someone who has really good tastes can create something awesome.”
Even before Cherry and Sanchez met, the actor already had a distinct style. The former adult-film actor, who went by Chloe Couture, rose to fame in the Euphoria-verse after making a fan-fiction parody porn based on the characters Rue and Jules. Cherry says her style, which combines Lolita innocence with high-octane aughts energy, set her apart in the adult-film world. “I created such a recognizable look in the way that I would dress,” she says. “I always maintained a certain vibe and aesthetic. The fun, vibrant thing is always what I’ll be attracted to.” Tumblr—which she discovered while growing up in the historical Dutch county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania—provided the groundwork for her aesthetic. “I was able to discover things that I’d never seen anywhere else,” she says.
The pleated denim miniskirts and cartoon baby T-shirts Faye wears on Euphoria are not that far off from Cherry’s IRL look. In fact, according to Cherry, Euphoria’s costume designer, Heidi Bivens, had the actor bring in her own clothes to set. “Some of the items were things that I’ve owned for years. I actually have owned that green sparkly sweater since I was 15,” says Cherry.
Recently, Cherry has been eyeing LoveShackFancy’s flirty dresses, one of which she recently wore to tape an episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy. While in London, she discovered the likes of Chet Lo and Ashley Williams. (She also credits Sanchez and Bivens for turning her on to new brands.) As she grew up shopping secondhand, she prefers to buy vintage and loves the dollar store. “There’s just a certain way that dollar stores make their clothing and their socks and stuff. It’s unlike anything that we sell anywhere else,” she says. “And they have a lot of deadstock stuff in there that is from the 2000s, which is always cute.” Currently, Sanchez is looking to put Cherry in new designers like Bailey Prado, Praying, and Sicko Kittens, often turning to the @upnextdesigner Instagram account for inspiration. “Really excited to see how her style develops,” writes Sanchez to Vogue. “But honestly, anything that feels youthful and fun is where I’m leaning.”
As for Cherry, she culls inspiration from “random girls from Instagram,” Euphoria assistant costume designer Angelina Vitto, and Bella Hadid. “She’s just not afraid of the most funky, crazy pieces,” says Cherry. “And whenever I look at her style, I always remind myself, Literally, you can wear anything. Nothing is off-limits.”
