These Hollywood stars don't think that monogamy is the key to a lasting relationship
At the premiere of ‘Suspiria,’ she wore a tailored jacket with metal clasps in the shape of hands, and bright fuchsia pants with a unique shape rarely seen on or off the red carpet.
Spotted arriving at the 2020 Venice Film Festival, Swinton made pajamas chic yet again with the addition of a belt for structure, and strong colors for contrast.
At the 75th Venice Film Festival, Swinton stole the show, making the red carpet itself look dull. Notice how she always goes very minimalistic on makeup to really let the outfit shine.
It doesn’t get simpler than this look at Paris Fashion Week in 2018, but it’s also incredibly bold.
At the photocall for ‘The Dead Don't Die’ during the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, she went for a very light, neutral palette, but ensured that the top had her signature unconventional architecture to it.
Don’t underestimate the power of a single green stripe! Swinton rocked the red carpet at the 18th Marrakech International Film Festival in this oversized white look.
This look is equal parts homage to the androgynous greats like Radclyffe Hall and Marlene Dietrich, as it is carving out her own space. Don’t miss the bows on the flats!
Only Tilda Swinton can simultaneously look like a Batman villain and a chic Hollywood star.
Somehow she makes these intense blocks of black and white seem ethereal and woodland-like.
Swinton loves a high neck, and she wears head-to-toe black looking chic and sleek in this monochromatic outfit, which she wore to the Haider Ackermann show at Paris Fashion Week in 2018.
Even when Swinton dips into brands like Chanel, which have their own distinct style, she can’t help but make it her own. She’s pictured at the Chanel Haute Couture Spring Summer 2019 show.
Swinton achieves structure with a single-button jacket that folds and gathers perfectly to create shape and intrigue to what might otherwise be plain and simple.
From the fiery orange coif, to the structured high neck, to the Renaissance-looking green patterned shoes, Swinton pulled all the stops at the 2020 Venice Film Festival.
When Swinton goes bold, like she did here at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, no finger goes unnoticed.
This slick little twist walked the red carpet launch event for ‘Doctor Strange’ in London in 2016.
At the 2019 Marrakech International Film Festival, she again skillfully used small pops of color to bring a bold outfit to the peak of pink power.
Even though she’s never had long locks, Swinton loves to use her hair as part of her looks, like she did here at the 'Hail, Caesar!' premiere during the 66th Berlinale International Film Festival.
This very unconventional red carpet shape is obviously one of Swinton’s repeat favorites.
High neck, diagonally cut jacket, pockets, and monochrome: all the makings of Swinton’s style.
Swinton was always a fan of unconventional shapes on the red carpet, as you can see from her outfit at the ‘Orlando’ premiere in 1993.
The actress loves a neck-to-toe dress, but she’s always careful to include an element of shape definition, and she does love a side slit.
This outfit mixes the glitz of New Year's with the in-bed-all-day comfort of January 1, and really it made Swinton the smartest dresser at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
What’s brilliant is that she could have just worn the purple velvet dress, but she chose to add this enormous statement jacket that creates contrast and architectural intrigue.
A double breasted olive-green jacket dress sounds absolutely right.
Perhaps unarmed with the designers she now relies on today to complete her vision, Swinton still donned a suit with a breast of flowers at the 2002 premiere of ‘Adaptation.’
Notice that with this completely distracting look, mixing a greenish metallic texture with black feathers, wide sleeves, and a mermaid-shape skirt, Swinton still went virtually makeupless at the Orange British Academy Film Awards 2008.
The year she won an Oscar, in 2008, Swinton rocked up to the awards show in a stunning oil-slick black one-sleeved dress.
At the 2012 Golden Globes, Swinton looked like a grown-up Cinderella who made a career for herself instead of relying on a prince. She mixes business with beauty, satin with chiffon, and it’s flawless.
Presenting ‘Snowpiercer’ at the 18th Marrakech International Film Festival, Swinton wore the most avant-garde version of a trench coat as humanly possible, with billowing sleeves that went down to her knees.
The sharply squared shoulders on this peach-pink dress are a fantastic juxtaposition, with only slight tailoring at the waist and, of course, secret pockets.
Swinton shined in an ethereal gray Chanel Couture look, alongside director Pedro Almodóvar in a Loewe pink suit and co-star Julianne Moore in a golden sequin Bottega Veneta gown.
Tilda Swinton is not the kind of actress to follow fleeting trends of the moment, and in fact she has curated a very specific style with very specific designers whom she repeatedly turns to for her bold yet effortless looks. Much like the way her film career has been a mix of independent arthouse and blockbuster, Swinton’s style straddles the line between chic and avant-garde.
The Scottish actress’ ethereal, graceful beauty somehow fits perfectly into her sharply tailored style, with its strong shapes, bold minimalism, and unflinching use of any and every color. She’s also become something of an androgynous icon for her highly fashionable and gender-neutral looks.
In this gallery, let’s look back at her inimitable style over the years.
Swinton made waves at the Venice Film Festival with the premiere of her film 'The Room Next Door,' which received the festival’s longest standing ovation, lasting a remarkable 15 minutes. The following evening she showed her support for the film 'Queer.' But it was her Alaïa Fall 2024 white draped dress that stole the spotlight, perfectly embodying her distinctive fashion sensibility.
