“I’m starting to get back into my clothes,” Sofia Richie told British Vogue‘s Alice Newbold of her relationship with fashion since welcoming her first baby, Eloise. “But no, I’m not altering my style because I’m a mom. I’m super confident and comfortable in the way that I dress.”
So confident, in fact, that Richie is now rehabilitating a style that most Millennials would consider to be among the worst aesthetic crimes of the ’00s. That is, the once maligned dress-over-trousers combination.

Sofia Richie was this weekend photographed strolling through Los Angeles in a draped dress and coordinating pants from the Swedish designer Jade Cropper’s spring/summer 2025 collection.
Unlike a significant portion of Gen Z, who are now experiencing things like Ugg boots and Alexander McQueen’s skull scarves for the first time, Richie, who was born in 1998, would have been just about old enough to have participated in the trend when it originated.
In fact she did, twice: once at ASCAP’s pop music awards in 2008, and later at the Myzos launch party at Fred Segal in 2009.
When people layer dresses and skirts over pants in 2024, it tends to be a little less casual and with a little less denim. (Unless, perhaps, you are PinkPantheress or attend Goldsmiths University.)
