The quiet luxury trend can best be described as modest clothing made from high-quality materials. The style became popular during the final season of the HBO series “Succession,” with viewers taking note of the sartorial expressions and costumes worn by the characters, evoking prosperity without the decadence. However, over the past few months, the trend has disappeared from the screen and made its way to some of the most high-profile celebrities.
Stars like Meghan Markle, Gwyneth Paltrow and more are embracing the quiet luxury trend. Ahead, you’ll see more celebrities who have developed this style over the past year.

Meghan Markle
Although she is the Duchess of Sussex, Markle has also been the queen of the quiet luxury trend lately. The founder of American Riviera Orchard began her reign as the quiet queen of luxury when she created this Giuliva Heritage set at SXSW last March.
Since then, Markle has been seen in one of her favorite designers: Heidi Merrick. The Californian designer embodies breezy, low-key luxury with dresses and more. During her recent trip to Nigeria, Markle brought the low-key luxury trend with her, with muted tones, breezy looks and elegant designs – all staples of the low-key luxury trend.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow has also embraced the low-key luxury trend through her own label. While attending the 2023 Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards in November 2023, the Goop founder wore an ensemble from her G. Label by Goop.
Key quietly luxurious elements in the look included a black turtleneck bodysuit and a matching maxi skirt with a center slit. Paltrow completed the look with ankle-strap heels courtesy of Jimmy Choo. Her accessories consisted of jewelry from De Beers, including diamond earrings and a diamond bracelet. The simple, sleek appearance radiated a quiet luxury.
Sofia Richie Grainge
Sofia Richie Grainge also endorses the trend of quiet luxury. The model’s approach to style was prominently featured in her recent campaign for Stuart Weitzman, for which Richie Grainge designed three different shoe styles that complemented her clothes.
As she moves into the next chapter of her life – Richie Grainge is expecting her first child with husband Elliot Grainge – her style has become more tailored and sleek, entirely evocative of the low-key luxury trend.
Angela Bassett
Revered actress Angela Bassett is known for her spectacular red carpet looks. But her style is as versatile as her talent. The actress showcased her approach to the quiet luxury trend while attending the 34th annual Talking Pictures Screening of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Q&A at the Palm Springs International Film Festival last year. Her cream-colored suit and matching blouse perfectly accentuated the quiet luxury trend.
Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes regularly creates looks that can best be described as in line with the quiet luxury trend. The actress attended the ‘Kering Women in Motion Talk’ at the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival in May 2023 and wore this look, which consisted of a zip-up jacket with collar and crinkled fabric and pastel yellow capri pants. Underneath the jacket, Holmes wore a lime green tunic top.
