The quiet luxury trend is best described as understated clothing made from high-quality material. The style was popularized amid the final season of the HBO series “Succession,” with viewers taking note of the sartorial statements and costuming worn by characters, evoking affluence without the decadence. Over the course of the last several months, however, the trend has popped off the screen and onto some of the most high-profile celebrities.
Stars like Meghan Markle, Gwyneth Paltrow and more are embracing the quiet luxury trend. Ahead, see more celebrities fashioning the style over the course of the past year.

Meghan Markle
While she is the Duchess of Sussex, Markle has also been the queen of the quiet luxury trend as of late. The founder of American Riviera Orchard kicked off her reign as the quiet luxury queen when she fashioned this Giuliva Heritage set at SXSW last March.
Since that time, Markle has been seen in one of her go-to designers: Heidi Merrick. The California designer epitomizes breezy quiet luxury with dresses and more. During her recent trip to Nigeria, Markle brought the quiet luxury trend with her, wearing muted tones, airy looks and elegant designs — all staples of the quiet luxury trend.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow has also embraced the quiet luxury trend through her own label. While attending the 2023 Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards in November 2023, the Goop founder wore an ensemble from her G. Label by Goop.
Key quiet luxury elements featured in the look included a black turtleneck bodysuit paired with a matching maxiskirt with a center slit. Paltrow completed the look with ankle-strap heels courtesy of Jimmy Choo. Her accessories featured jewelry from De Beers, including diamond drop earrings and a diamond bracelet. The simple, sleek look had quiet luxury written all over it.
Sofia Richie Grainge
Sofia Richie Grainge also subscribes to the quiet luxury trend. The model’s approach to the style was prominently featured in her recent campaign for Stuart Weitzman, for which Richie Grainge fashioned three various styles of shoes, which complemented her apparel.
As she enters the next chapter of her life — Richie Grainge is expecting her first child with husband Elliot Grainge — her style has become more tailored and sleek, wholly evocative of the quiet luxury trend.
Angela Bassett
Venerated actress Angela Bassett is well-known for her showstopping red carpet looks. But her style is as versatile as her talent. The actress showcased her approach to the quiet luxury trend while attending the 34th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Talking Pictures Screening of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Q&A last year. Her cream-colored, tailored suit and complementary blouse perfectly accentuated the quiet luxury trend.
Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes regularly fashions looks that could be best described as adhering to the quiet luxury trend. The actress attended the “Kering Women in Motion Talk” at the 76th annual Cannes film festival in May 2023 wearing this look, which featured a collared zipper jacket with scrunched fabric and a pair of pastel yellow capri trousers. Beneath the jacket, Holmes wore a lime green tunic top.
