Chloë Sevigny’s Best Party Looks

A baby Chloë at the afterparty for Trees Lounge, fresh in the midst of her ascendance to indie darling in zebra-print tights and a one-shoulder sparkle dress, mish-mashing in a way only she can.

It didn’t take long for the fashion set to scoop her up and endorse her, as evidenced by her Versace look at the couture afterparty in Paris.

This slice of heaven of a Chanel suit is made Chloë-ified with the simple, boyish glam and the pack of Parliaments poking out of her pocket.

This Spring 2003 Lanvin dress shows her fierce commitment to Alber Elbaz during this time of her life.

Carrie Bradshaw seized the spirit of Sevigny for this party, where she wore a turquoise Versace Spring/Summer 2004 with sparkly heels and a blonde blowout worthy of Sex and the City.

This baggier style, most probably Balenciaga, fit her relaxed energy for this Cartier party.

A look for the ages. Sevigny’s fresh-off-the-runway Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2004 by Marc Jacobs was sexy enough to be in Oceans’ 11 yet maintains a cool level only she can pull off.

This Spring/Summer 2005 Saint Laurent dress was off-set with some quirky fur-toe heels and her preferred red lip.

This Dolce&Gabbana FW03 knit-button dress is unexpected for Sevigny, but works for the casual cocktail vibe of the party.

Another Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere creation, this time from the brand’s Fall/Winter 2006 collection, which can be dated not thanks to my critical eye but because of the peplum top and curved heel.

A ‘30s-meets-’90s vision with this sheer paillette vintage dress and another gold accessory moment — both with the white wine and her bag.

In what I can only hope was a paid opportunity, Sevigny attended a New Year’s Eve party in Miami wearing fresh-off-the-runway Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009, giving a masterclass in accessorizing with cheetah-print bangles, a brocade clutch, and fringed peep-toe heels.

Here, Sevigny forgoes a bra or shirt in Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2009 leather overalls.

Here, her love affair with Mrs. Prada is on full display, wearing Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2009 for a Prada event.

A moment in fashion history! A perfect recipe: a party at the Chateau Marmont, her red lip, and Dior Spring 2010 by John Galliano.

Another New York mix that could not be achieved today: wearing then-emerging designer Proenza Schouler’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection at Barneys (RIP) for a book launch.

A few changes for Sevigny here, most notably her hair, and wearing the Versace x H&M collab.

Chloë hosted a Chloé cocktail at — where else — Barneys, wearing a Chloé cut-out guitar dress.

She wore one of Nicolas Ghesquiere’s first collections for Louis Vuitton, Spring 2015, continuing her Ghesquiere love affair.

She defined Brooklyn cool in this Rodarte Spring/Summer 2015 dress, paired with chunky gladiator lace-up sandals.

Where else but Cannes can you wear head-to-toe Chanel and still look chill?

Ain’t no party like a New York Fashion Week party, and the red lip makes this black flared suit pop.

A Basel baby wearing all Prada at the brand’s book event.

This Simone Rocha dress ushers in a quieter, more demure you could say, version of Sevigny’s after-hour style.

Another sizzling Miu Miu moment, this time gone full club-girl glam with a feathery bosom.

She’s a momma now, and is wearing Christopher Kane Fall/Winter 2022 — thankfully, the red lip didn’t go anywhere.

A cool mom goes to dinners at bookstores in thigh-high leather boots.

Never one to abandon her friends, she wore fresh-off-the-runway Proenza Schouler from their Spring/Summer 2023, giving a flamenco energy to the proceedings.

She looks just like North West in custom Vetements, but here she’s wearing Puppets & Puppets Fall/Winter 2024.

Sevigny toasted to longtime friend and stylist Haley Wollen’s new magazine, wearing the 2024 appromixation of downtown cool in an outfit with a custom Dauan Jacari dress, platform uggs, and a mini Telfar bag.

Sevigny hosted her children, aka the It Girls of today like Alex Consani, for a dinner wearing Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2025.
