Chic Critique: Why bubble skirts are a Gen Z staple and how to style fashion's 'party popper'
For the occasion, the Academy Award-winner leaned into a Gen-Z approved trend, championing the not-so-humble bubble skirt during the Parisian affair.
Natalie paired the glittering, black mini with a midnight black velvet jacket hailing from the Dior Cruise 2025 collection, featuring gothic splicing, lace-up detailing, a raised neckline and a pirate-inspired corseted cut with mid-length puff sleeves.
The vintage-inspired garment was teamed with a black choker (very Aughts) and a pair of Dior’s vegan leather biker boots, completed with a knee-high design, over-arch silver hardware and logo chain embellishments.
Natalie’s beauty blend comprised a blushed complexion, arched brows, a pale pink lip and a dusting of bronzer. Her hair was styled in a timeless, slicked-back style.
Bubble skirts are rocketing up the fashion trend ranks. With their billowing, cloud-like silhouettes that cinch at the hem and balloons at the hips, they somehow manage to look like both a childhood Pinterest board and a '90s fever dream.
The style was ubiquitous at London Fashion Week just gone, platformed by editors and influencers alike as they streamed into 180 The Strand for various fashion shows.
From Iris Law to Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner, bubble skirts have also been sported by chronically online trend-setters, cementing them as a Gen Z staple. Designers such as Aaron Esh, Mugler, Miu Miu, Patou and Area have toyed with the flirtatious piece, ensuring there’s a bubble skirt for each and every style aficionado across town.
