Sofia Richie's chicest style moments of all time

It's been one year since her lavish wedding in the South of France - and we're still captivated by her 'Quiet Luxury' style

Since her April 2023 wedding to Elliot Grainge at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the south of France, Sofia Richie has undergone a glow-up that has gripped the fashion world. She became the ultimate poster-girl for the 'quiet luxury' trend after her wedding to the British music producer, where her streak of pre-wedding, wedding day and honeymoon outfits sent the sartorialists into a frenzy.

Our jaws dropped when she rotated not one, but three ultra chic Chanel bridal dresses on her big day, all designed by Virginie Viard. It was hard to pick a favourite, but her evening party dress - a custom version of the mini worn by Claudia Schiffer on the label's SS93 runway, captured our sartorial hearts.

Though Sofia Richie (now Sofia Richie Grainge) has always been a style muse, she has absolutely cemented It-girl status in 2024. She's currently one of the most adored fashionistas on the planet, with a wardrobe that literally everybody wants to get their hands on. She's provided style inspiration for practically every occasion in some of the coolest brands. A-listers including Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner have also followed in her footsteps with their elevated, minimalistic style agenda.

From chic beach getaway inspo to styling see-through skirts for dinner, and wearing barbiecore suits for special events, Sofia is the ultimate fashion influencer of the moment. Along with her favourite Hourglass and Sol de Janeiro beauty products, Sofia packs Eres, Prada, Dries Van Noten and Dior for her journeys to sun-soaked shores and opulent yachts abroad. And we literally can't fault her. Since Sofia’s immaculate wedding makeup by celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff, she hasn’t wavered. She has consistently shared her natural, yet groomed, clean girl aesthetic on TikTok with her 3.7 million followers.

The Wedding

To mark her one-year wedding anniversary, a pregnant Sofia shared a post with her 11 million Instagram followers. The caption read: "1 year ago today! I want to marry you a million times over again." A reminder that not only was the wedding stylish, it also included, fireworks, a performance from her father Lionel Richie and celebrity guests including, Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz and, obviously, her sister Nicole Richie.

The Grammys

The most recent major event Sofia was photographed at was the 66th Grammy Awards, in February. Wearing a black cape sleeved Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello gown, she brought a stealth wealth aesthetic to maternity wear. Her hair was pulled into a ballerina bun, her nails red and she accessorised the outfit with large diamond stud earrings.

The LBD

The David Yurman ambassador hosted a dinner for the jewellery brand’s ‘Sculpted Cable’ collection, in September last year. Alongside wearing pieces from the collection, Sofia chose a high-necked single-breasted blazer by Dolce & Gabbana, a cute satin headband and, in a nod to her commitment to quiet luxury, a black Hermès Kelly Envelope bag, worth over £9,000.

Off-duty

Sofia has effortlessly nailed the "just popping out, does anyone need anything from the shop?' look too. What can me more classic than a blue jean and blazer combo? Here she wears a Saint Laurent jacket, jeans by Agolde, long-sleeve T-shirt by The Row, Prada shoes and a Chanel bag.

Prada Poplin

Very soon after Sofia wore this poplin Prada shirt dress, it sold out (unsurprisingly as it is heavenly). She paired it with Celine sunnies and The Row sandals.

For a dinner with Chanel in west Hollywood, Sofia oozed elegance in an all black look from Chanel's SS22 collection. She wore a cap-sleeved bodysuit that boasted a square neckline and a large satin bow across the chest and paired it with a glitterly sheer tulle skirt with elegant embroidery across the thigh. She finished off the ensemble with an elasticated black and gold belt, a white ball bag and rows of Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets.
