For true fashion fanatics, a finger on the proverbial pulse is the only way to keep up with the ever-changing trend cycle.
But some silhouettes are timeless and enduring for a reason. A particular design detail may hark back to a certain decade, but in conjunction with a fresh, contemporary fabric, it can still feel cutting-edge.

Emily's ensemble had a graceful, fluid feel, but the absence of rusty reds and earthy browns – as were all the rage in the 1970s – gave her look a pretty, feminine warmth. Plus, the feather-like pattern added an airy quality, working beautifully in tandem with a frill-lined tiered hem.
The Oppenheimer star completed her outfit with a platinum and 18k yellow gold necklace with diamonds with gold detailing by Tiffany & Co. and wore her hair in loose, middle-parted waves.
