As I’ve watched these homages play out on my feeds over the past few months, I’ve wondered if they signal a stagnation in the fashion world. This trend—which combines two of the main pillars of American culture, idol worship and recycled nostalgia—seems similar to the current state of the film industry, churning out regurgitated IP and remaking superhero sequels. Or maybe it’s just an attempt to get ahead in an oversaturated culture—that because another celebrity wore it before you, their influence can be absorbed into your fashion. It’s like a reference to another moment is an added accessory to an outfit, like a coveted handbag. But I’m not sure how influence works, and who knows if the original celebrity would approve of the whole endeavor, anyway?

Many of these looks, when placed in a new context, are undeniably chic, as if the ghost of the celebrity who once inhabited them were on the red carpet alongside the new celebrity, shouting, “I approve!” However, this isn’t always the case. In 2022, Kim Kardashian wore to the Met Gala the Bob Mackie dress that Marilyn Monroe originally wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy—a moment that may or may not have actually opened the floodgates for the trend. The move was widely criticized, not least by Mackie himself, who was concerned about the legacy of a dress he designed for an icon and an icon alone, and (more importantly) the structural integrity of the archival garment. Despite protests from designers, fashion conservators, and the public, Kardashian continues—and seemingly with no end in sight.
Of course, there is a distinct difference between a sincere homage and appropriating an iconic moment in the hopes of creating your own. I won’t name names for the latter, but sometimes the results can seem lifeless and stale. In the former, a sincere homage that comes to mind is Miley Cyrus honoring godmother Dolly Parton’s iconic bob at the Grammys or any time Kate Middleton imitates her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. People say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but as someone with a sister, I have to call that bullshit. Imitation can be a sincere form of flattery, but with it comes the potential to cheapen the original by turning it into a caricature of itself. This is always the problem with imitation. Each time a look is copied, it tends to lose its original flair, just as a meme becomes more obscure as it is more memeified until, eventually, the original loses all meaning.
