Story summary

Cara Delevingne attended Tom Ford's Paris Fashion Week show on Wednesday night, wearing a purple velvet pantsuit without a shirt. This look echoed Gwyneth Paltrow's iconic red velvet pantsuit from the 1996 MTV VMAs, which was designed by Tom Ford when he worked at Gucci. Delevingne accessorized her outfit with red accents like a clutch and shoes, while Paltrow had paired hers with a pale blue shirt and scarlet platform heels. Alessandro Michele of Gucci revived the pantsuit design 25 years later for the brand's 100th anniversary collection, and Paltrow wore a similar version at Gucci’s Love Parade show in November 2021. Both women have credited Ford as the original designer, highlighting how iconic fashion can be reinterpreted over time.
