We're seeing double with this trend of vintage couture.

From thrifting to eco-friendly fabrics, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/five-brands-selected-for-the-sustainability-focused-cfda-lexus-initiative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainability</a> in fashion has been a major concern in recent years. While the trend cycle constantly pushes consumers to buy new clothing, the revival of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bedazzled-y2k-trend-rhinestones-celebrity-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K</a> fashion has seen an uptick in celebrities rewearing archival pieces from designers such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/versace-cruise-2022-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Versace</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/jean-paul-gaultier-chistose-abe-collection-haute-couture-fall-winter-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean Paul Gaultier</a>.&nbsp;
Not only is rewearing vintage clothing more sustainable, but it also shows designers' creativity in updating archival designs for current style. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kim-kardashian-fashion-style-rome-vacation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Kardashian</a> has rocked plenty of vintage pieces lately, from her sexy cutout <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/controversial-thierry-mugler-cutout-dress-spring-2021-megan-fox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mugler</a> gown to the tortoiseshell <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/spring-summer-2021-dolce-and-gabbana-prada-versace-max-mara-marni-armani-sportmax-alberta-ferretti-milan-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dolce and Gabbana</a> mini dress she wore during her controversial trip to Rome. Watch history repeat itself with these famous archival fashion moments.

Beyonc&eacute;'s "Crazy In Love" Versace Dress

In 2003, a young <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/beyonce-jay-z-net-worth">Beyonc&eacute;</a> at the Naissance of her solo career donned a tiny green and purple Versace dress for her performance of "Crazy In Love" at the BET Awards. Almost 20 years later, actress and singer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/zendaya-beyonce-2003-vintage-versace-dress-2021-bet-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zendaya</a> wore a longer version of the navel-baring dress with matching purple heels to the 2021 BET Awards.&nbsp;

Elizabeth Hurley's Versace Safety Pin Dress

Actress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/elizabeth-hurley-nude-photo-reality-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Hurley</a> turned heads at the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings And A Funeral when she showed up in this slinky, sexy safety pin dress from Versace, aptly dubbed "That Dress." The iconic 'fit has been redone not once but twice&mdash;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/house-of-gucci-movie-lady-gaga-premiere-date-venice-film-festival" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Gaga</a> wore an identical one in Milan in 2012 and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/jennifer-lawrence-dior-new-perfume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Lawrence</a> dressed in a similar black dress for the premiere of Red Sparrow.

Angie Barret's "Shipwrecked" Alexander McQueen Dress

When socialite Angie Barrett saw this marine-inspired Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2003 dress in Harper's Bazaar, she fell in love instantly, wearing it to both the Beaux Arts Ball and Cannes Film Festival in 2003. Almost two decades later, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kim-kardashian-fashion-style-rome-vacation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Kardashian</a> made the unique "oyster dress"&nbsp;famous when she wore it to the 2020&nbsp;Vanity Fair Oscars Party.

Naomi Campbell in Jean Paul Gaultier

During the golden days of her runway career, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hood-by-air-returns-naomi-campbell-the-prologue-shayne-oliver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Campbell</a> strutted down the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2002 runway in this white strapless number with a contrasting black tulle neckline. Following in her footsteps, contemporary supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/who-is-bella-hadid-new-boyfriend-marc-kalman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bella Hadid</a> rocked the same dress at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/best-red-carpet-looks-2021-cannes-film-festival" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Cannes Film Festival</a>.

Always an original, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/tiktok-celebrity-mother-daughter-duos-kardashian-jenner-damelio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Dern</a> outdid herself by rewearing the black cutout <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/giorgio-armani-60-milion-yatcht-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Armani</a> dress that was designed for her in 1990. She first wore the piece in 1995 at the Sheba Humanitarian Awards Gala, and again at the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscars After Party, looking triumphant with an Academy Award in her hand.&nbsp;

Olivia Rodrigo's White House Suit

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/olivia-rodrigo-visits-white-house-to-promote-youth-coronavirus-vaccinations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">While visiting the White House to discuss youth vaccinations</a> with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/president-joe-biden-young-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a>, 2021's music sensation <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/who-is-olivia-rodrigo-drivers-license-sour-album-sustainable-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Rodrigo</a> made headlines for her vintage <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gabrielle-chanel-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> suit that's older than her. The ensemble debuted in designer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/remembering-karl-lagerfeld" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karl Lagerfeld</a>'s Spring/Summer 1995 collection for the brand and has now found new life on one of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/y2k-revival-covid-19-pandemic-tiktok-gen-z-fashion-music-film-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gen Z</a>'s favorite pop stars.

Never one to shy away from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/vintage-outfits-thrift-stores-nyc-model-shopping-guide-bella-hadid">vintage</a>, supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/5-y2k-looks-bella-hadid-outfit-inspiration-instagram">Bella Hadid</a> turned heads at the 75th Cannes Film Festival in an archival <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-fall-winter-2022-haute-couture-runway-photos-virginie-viard">Chanel</a> gown. Designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld, the dress's voluminous skirt, corset-style waist, and puff sleeves were certainly reminiscent of the 19th century.

Kim Kardashian's Marilyn Monroe Dress

After singing a seductive rendition of "Happy Birthday" to then-president John F. Kennedy back in 1962, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/ana-de-armas-marilyn-monroe-blonde-netflix-movie-trailer">Marilyn Monroe</a>'s sheer glittering dress made pop culture history. However, the dress recently circled back into conversation after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kim-kardashian-new-style-balenciaga-catsuit-fashion-met-gala-2021">Kim Kardashian</a> wore it to the Met Gala. And with rumors of the media mogul damaging the archival dress, it's certainly been a topic of conversation.

The model-turned-actress turned heads at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celebrity-influencer-fashion-trends-london-fashion-week-fall-winter-2022">London Fashion Week</a> this past June with a stunning archival <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/versace-men-spring-summer-2023-collection-runway-show-photos">Versace</a> Fall/Winter 2003 bandage dress. Although the dress is nearly as old as the 21-year-old with a jaw-dropping corset silhouette and elegant handkerchief-hem, it didn't stop <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/who-is-iris-law-model-actress-jude-law-daughter">Law</a> from making a street-style statement.

With its encore performance, Ballerini has undoubtedly proved that Marc Bouwer's floor-length sequined dress is still as stunning as ever.
