The Under-25 Celebrity Set Is Fawning Over These 8 Fall Trends


Gen Z Says is a bimonthly column chronicling the latest trends in the fashion and beauty space through the lens of Who What Wear’s own Gen Z editors. Expect a download on the upcoming class of tastemakers, emerging designers, and shopping and style choices straight from the generation setting the trends.

Here at Who What Wear, we’re always documenting celebrity style and the trends driven by Generation Z, so why not combine them? Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz may be on our radar style-wise, but many stars in the under-25 category are making a name for themselves in the fashion sphere, and we’re paying attention. They have access to the greatest stylists out there and the best of designers’ collections, and when you add their generation’s confidence and playful essence to the equation, you certainly have some winning outfits. Everyone in the industry is taking notice, as many luxury brands are adding young celebrities to their campaigns and choosing to dress them on red carpets and tours. We’ve been predicting this for years, so it’s about time brands are getting on board.

From Olivia Rodrigo to Gracie Abrams, Gen Z celebrities’ recent outfits are some to take note of this fall. Amid their Instagram photo dumps and paparazzi shots, you’ll find a variety of outfits that include everything from Coach bags revived from the past to statement-making sheer dresses. Their stylists are putting in the overtime. Keep scrolling to see the standout fall trends we noticed in their recent looks and how you can shop each look for yourself.

What’s not to love about Rodrigo’s grungy style? If we could go thrifting with one person, it would be her. She almost always is wearing moto or vintage-inspired boots and is expressing her love of red by wearing more maroon and oxblood.

Kaia Gerber probably has unlimited access to her mom’s supermodel wardrobe, so we’re not surprised that the trends she’s sporting are ’90s inspired. Big bags may be trending, but Gerber is sticking to the classic shoulder bags that will never go out of style. Finishing off the look with tall leather boots was a win in our book because we also have been gravitating toward slimmer and taller styles over chunky, short boots.

Laufey’s retro-infused style is a treat to witness (we can’t get her Grammys look out of our heads), but a wardrobe staple she consistently wears are shiny patent loafers. They’re on par with her go-to look but are versatile enough to go with any kind of style preference.

When Sabrina Carpenter isn’t wearing glittery corsets and platform pumps onstage, she’s opting for a much more subdued fall look with pleated skirts and kitten heels. We love her stage looks but need to see more of this preppy-chic off-duty style of hers immediately.
