Gracie Abrams’s Style Evolution, From Chuck Taylors to Chanel Couture

In recent years, the world has watched Gracie Abrams grow up. After releasing her first EP at 20 years old in 2020, the singer started attending high-profile music events and fashion-industry parties as a fresh-faced newcomer with something to prove. But it was opening for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour and releasing her sophomore studio album The Secret of Us in 2024 that catapulted her from indie artist to global star.
With this fast-paced career ascent, her style entered a new era as well. Earlier in her career, Abrams often wore casual outfits with a boyish bent, favoring slouchy blazers and utilitarian boots. These days, however, she is the picture of ethereal elegance, sporting a now-signature blunt pixie and working with Chanel (she was recentely named a house ambassador) on a series of otherworldly ensembles. Whether she is stepping out solo or alongside her boyfriend, Paul Mescal, Abrams takes risks with deep-cut vintage pulls, theatrical veils and gauzy floor-grazing trains that signal her sartorial authority.
With her new album Daughter From Hell topping charts and anticipation building around her acting debut in A24’s Please, Gracie Abrams is more influential than ever—on and off the red carpet. Below, a look at her most memorable style moments to date.
