Isabelle Huppert in Balenciaga

Isabelle Huppert graced the Cannes Film Festival 2024 in a custom Balenciaga wrap dress that resembled a chic bathrobe, complete with a belted waist and thigh-high slit. The standout feature was a regal, structured collar that highlighted her décolleté. Huppert elevated the look with nude pointed-toe boots, multiple diamond necklaces, and chunky earrings and rings, transforming the bathrobe-inspired dress into a glamorous red carpet-statement.

Rihanna in Jacquemus

Only Rihanna could make a bathrobe look this chic! At the launch of Fenty Hair at Selfridges in London on September 16, the 36-year-old beauty mogul stepped out in a custom, robe-inspired Jacquemus dress. Styled by Jahleel Weaver, Rihanna looked both cosy and high-fashion in a fuzzy, off-the-shoulder design in butter yellow featuring a thigh-high slit and a tie belt.

Kylie Jenner in furry black robe

Kylie Jenner turned heads at Paris Haute Couture Week 2024 in a chic and minimal ensemble—a long robe paired with a black velvet bralette and matching undergarments. The robe draped off her shoulders, highlighting the bralette as it was loosely fastened at the waist. She elevated the look with red-bottom Christian Louboutin pumps and styled her hair with a wet-look gel to maintain the ‘fresh out of the shower’ vibe.

Mouni Roy in Erdem

Mouni Roy recently caught attention at London Fashion Week in a chic grey and white ensemble from Erdem. Her outfit featured an off-shoulder top and a matching skirt with bathrobe aesthetics. However, fans weren’t impressed, comparing the look to a dressing gown, blanket, or even a towel.
