Lola Tung's Real-Life Outfits Are So Much Bolder Than Her TSITP Character's

"The Summer I Turned Pretty" star Lola Tung may still be a rookie when it comes to celebrity fashion — after all, she only rose to fame three years ago, thanks to the successful Amazon Prime Video adaptation of Jenny Han's book trilogy — but that doesn't mean the actor hasn't taken the fashion world by storm. Sure, we can't compare her to icons like Sarah Jessica Parker or Zoë Kravitz yet, but give Tung about a decade and we're pretty sure she'll be right there with them.

Tung is already a front-row regular at some of the most prestigious fashion shows in the world, from New York to Paris, and her street style consistently shows just how in tune with the industry the young star is. And while we loved Belly Conklin's looks in Season 3 of the hit show (in fact, the black minidress she wore in Paris that night lives rent-free in our minds), we adore Tung's adventurous and daring real-life style even more.

Having fun with unconventional gowns is Lola Tung's favorite hobby

Lola Tung was a staple at Paris Fashion Week in September 2024, where she attended quite a few shows. One of her most memorable outfits from the week was undeniably her stunning Balmain dress, which she wore to the fashion house's spring/summer show. The dress was made to look like a suit jacket in the front, a peculiar style that not many could pull off. Tung, however, looked flawless in it. Black platform heels, a small purse, and Twiggy-like makeup completed the look, proving that Tung knows how to play the fashion game.

Lola Tung pulls off the sheer dress trend with ease

There have been plenty of iconic celebrity naked dress moments, and we would like to officially add Lola Tung's 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards outfit to the list. For the annual event, the "TSITP" star wore a sultry Balmain minidress that left very little to the imagination. Of course, with the edgy silhouette that enhanced her hips and shoulders, as well as the meticulous placement of the crystals, the nude dress was a perfect choice for the night. Dangly earrings, simple makeup, and a sleek updo helped keep the focus on Balmain's undeniable work of art.

Funky accessories seem to be a must for Lola Tung

In February 2025, Lola Tung was photographed heading to Thom Browne's New York Fashion Week show, and to say her outfit was fun would be a total understatement. Dressed in a look by the brand, the actor opted for a preppy aesthetic, knee-high socks and chunky square heels included. However, the spotlight of the look definitely shone on her dachshund purse, a statement piece that could've easily looked too costume-like if not styled properly. Of course, Tung knew just what she was doing, which is why the purse perfectly matched the subtle dachshund print of her button-up without making the actor look like she borrowed her outfit from a 9-year-old's closet.

Lola Tung isn't one to back down from a pop of color

At New York Fashion Week in February 2025, Lola Tung attended the Tory Burch show in a bright-red jacket with a subtle pattern and stiff silhouette. Tung paired the statement piece with a matching red headband, a simple white miniskirt, white tights, and a white bag, which helped finish off the look for that perfect '60s mod aesthetic. As always, the actor's makeup was impeccable, and the white eyeshadow tied everything together perfectly.

Lola Tung isn't afraid of exploring fun headpieces

For the long-awaited launch party of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 3, Lola Tung decided to combine multiple trends. The actor wore a sheer white dress paired with metallic lace-up sneaker boots and a stunning lace headpiece that was very reminiscent of Y2K accessories. And in case you're wondering what to wear under your on-trend sheer clothing, Tung has the answer: underwear in a matching color! We have to give it to the actor — we would have never combined these three pieces, but seeing them on her proved that they totally work.

An oversized pantsuit? Lola Tung owns the trend

When Lola Tung showed up at the Teen Vogue Summit in November 2024, the young actor once again proved that she can pull off any trend. Dressed in an oversized brown pinstripe suit by Tanner Fletcher, Tung subtly paid homage to Julia Roberts, the celebrity who popularized the oversized suit aesthetic (no, it wasn't Hailey Bieber). Keeping her accessories minimal, Tung paired the suit with silver metallic pointy heels that delicately peeked underneath the pooling trim of her pants. Simple makeup and loose waves allowed the stunning pantsuit to take center stage.

Head-to-toe black lace is a bold choice, but Lola Tung pulled it off

Lace is the crochet trend's chic older sister, especially in the summer; however, rocking a head-to-toe lace look can be intimidating for many, particularly in the cooler months. Lola Tung? Not so much. The "TSITP" star was photographed in a black lace maxi dress as she was headed to an event at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City in November 2023. As it was November, the addition of the deep, wine-red lipstick was the perfect way to give this look an even moodier gothic aesthetic, which is always perfect for fall.

Lola Tung isn't afraid of a statement piece for an everyday look

When Lola Tung was photographed leaving the "LIVE with Kelly and Mark" show in early September 2025, we didn't know what to think of her outfit at first. Logically, the fuzzy low-waist dress, polka-dot tights, and metallic shoes shouldn't constitute a great outfit. However, the more we looked at it, the more obsessed we became. This outfit evokes some of that viral "weird-girl aesthetic" fashion trend, and we're here for it. Besides, Tung's contagious smile is all it really takes to bring any outfit to life.

Polka dots, bright colors, and different textures? Lola Tung says bring it on

When Lola Tung showed up to the Balmain fall/winter show at Paris Fashion Week in March 2023, her red polka-dot look certainly caught everyone's eyes. The Balmain outfit consisted of a tunic top and matching pants, but Tung's accessories truly brought the entire outfit to life. Pairing a variety of different shades of brown, the "TSITP" star proved that your belt, purse, and boots can be slightly mismatched and still look great together.

Lola Tung's NYC street style is the perfect mix of casual and cool

There's no denying that Lola Tung's red-carpet style is perfect, but her street style is just as fashionable. In September 2025, the Broadway star — Tung had her debut in the Tony Award-winning musical "Hadestown" in 2024 — walked the streets of New York City in what can only be described as the ultimate cool-girl 'fit. Baggy low-waist jeans, a cute graphic top, colorful statement sunglasses, and a shoulder bag helped the young star cement her fashionista status even more.

Lola Tung shows us how to brilliantly draw inspiration from a school uniform

In October 2023, Lola Tung attended the Nasdaq Day of the Girl market opening bell ceremony, and her outfit was a true lesson in how to pull off the schoolgirl aesthetic without it looking like a Britney Spears "...Baby One More Time" costume. As the school uniform trend was all over fall 2023 runways, it's not surprising that Tung was one of the first celebs to embrace the comeback of the trend. A cropped button-up and tailored blazer helped make the look more modern, but the true star of this outfit was, once again, Tung's adorable dachshund purse — one we hope she keeps rocking to future events!

Taking a simple outfit and making it special is Lola Tung's specialty

A major trait of a true fashion girl is taking a previously worn item and styling it in a new way, and Lola Tung is no stranger to that. In July 2025, the actor was photographed in New York City, wearing brown pants and a basic white tank top. However, what took this simple outfit to the next level was the silk scarf that Tung expertly used instead of a belt, giving the outfit an additional pattern and texture. This simple addition was impactful, taking our attention away from the adorable dog she was carrying — but only briefly. Her fashion is amazing, but a fluffy pal is always a scene-stealer!

Lola Tung loves drawing inspiration from Y2K fashion and beauty trends

Lola Tung's look for the Prime Book Club LIVE event in July 2025 was the epitome of how fun early-aughts fashion actually was. Not only did the "TSITP" star decide to wear a beautiful lavender minidress with delicate flower embellishments (it definitely served us Lizzie McGuire fashion), but she also opted for a fun hairstyle reminiscent of the era. The actor rocked her hair in a sleek updo with fun spikes peaking out — a look that's definitely among the Y2K hairstyles that have made a comeback.

Lola Tung knows that silver is the metal that suits her best

When Lola Tung showed up at the September 2025 "The Summer I Turned Pretty" photocall in Paris, France, she instantly had all of our jaws on the floor. The actor wore a breathtaking silver metallic halter gown by Kaufmanfranco, and it's safe to say that this is 100% your look, Lola baby! While golden hues suit her too, cool shades really make Tung shine, which is why this silver gown looks like it was made for her and only her. This is precisely why your skin undertone matters, and figuring it out is crucial.

Lola Tung is no stranger to the bohemian aesthetic

Anyone who has been paying attention to Lola Tung's fashion choices has undoubtedly noticed that the star doesn't stick to just one style or aesthetic. Tung is clearly open to experimenting with a variety of different looks, which allows her to have fun with fashion. In September 2023, she attended the Christian Dior spring/summer show during Paris Fashion Week, and her outfit had quite a few elements reminiscent of the Y2K era of boho fashion. A rouched maxi skirt paired with a semi-sheer tank top, layered necklaces, and, of course, a Dior saddle bag (a classic relic from the period) all contributed to Tung's stunning look.

Face-framing tendrils and a red lip are Lola Tung's best style secrets

Lola Tung's outfit for Coach's fall/winter fashion show in February 2023 is the epitome of how one can take a classic preppy brand and give its fashion their own spin. The actor paired a classic trenchcoat by the brand with casual yet cute elements like a high-neck minidress, white socks, and a pair of simple loafers. The look was youthful and cool, combining different styles that traditionally aren't paired together. The bright-red bag and lipstick added the perfect pops of color, once again proving that Tung isn't afraid to mix and match trends.

Mixing various style elements is a staple for Lola Tung's outfits

By now, it's clear that Lola Tung doesn't play by anyone's fashion rule book ... well, except her own. In September 2025, the "TSITP" star was photographed heading to a Miu Miu Miutine party in New York City, and her outfit was one we have no doubt has inspired many of her fans to think more outside of the box when it comes to fashion. The actor paired an oversized button-up with a teeny-tiny miniskirt, white crew socks, maroon kitten heels, and a matching bag. Somehow, the outfit worked even though we wouldn't have thought to combine these individual elements.

Lola Tung is all about giving classic silhouettes a modern twist

Still in her early 20s, Lola Tung tends to gravitate toward funky and youthful fashion, and when she does decide to wear something vintage-inspired, she always ensures it doesn't age her. In May 2024, the star attended Amazon's Inaugural Upfront Presentation, and for the occasion, she opted for a tweed suit. However, this wasn't the classic silhouette that Coco Chanel made famous — instead, it was a modern design that featured a matching jumpsuit. The look was both classy and modern, and Tung looked stunning in it.

A patterned minidress suits Lola Tung beautifully

In June 2025, Lola Tung was seen during a night out in New York City, and her fashion choice was proof that her real-life outfits are simply superior to those of everyone's beloved Belly. The vintage Dior number was the perfect choice for a warm summer night, and the silver heels and bright-yellow bag added just the right amount of surprise to the look. Tung's face-framing tendrils added a touch of softness, proving again that Tung leaves nothing to chance.

Lola Tung loves the simplicity of putting on a sheer matching set

A matching set is one of the easiest ways to look put together without having to spend hours combining bottoms with tops, and because of this, it can often feel (and look) like we're cheating when it comes to playing the fashion game. However, we believe that a great matching set deserves its spot in the limelight every now and then. In June 2023, Lola Tung attended a Teen Vogue celebration of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 2, and she wore a sheer black-and-white matching skirt and top set. Of course, we can count on Tung to not only find the cutest Sandy Liang set but also pull it off effortlessly.

Yellow isn't an easy color to wear, but Lola Tung does a fabulous job

Lola Tung isn't afraid to explore fashion styles that have been deemed to be ugly or difficult to wear. In February 2023, the actor attended Luar's fall/winter show at New York Fashion Week, and her outfit was entirely neon yellow. Yes, the "TSITP" star decided to take one of the most difficult colors to pull off and wear it head to toe. The result? Stunning! In fact, she looked so good that we officially want to add neon yellow to the list of Tung's best colors.

Lola Tung knows the impact of a head-to-toe metallic outfit

It's extremely difficult to pick just one best Lola Tung look, but this metallic emerald-green number is definitely in our top three. The actor attended a Bach Mai fashion show in New York City in September 2023, where she wore a design by the brand. Even though it might look like a jumpsuit, the actor was actually wearing a pair of wide-leg emerald-green Bach Mai trousers and a matching corset top. Paired with a red-brown lipstick and a sleek, wet hairstyle, this entire look was pure perfection.

Lola Tung nails asymmetrical outfits every single time

Photographed in New York City in June 2023, Lola Tung looked absolutely dashing in a red two-piece set that showed how asymmetry can instantly make any clothing piece a million times more interesting. The fitted and cropped blazer served as a top, while the frayed edge of the skirt's high-low hemline added an unfinished and grungy element to the final look. This gets a 10 out of 10 from us — no notes!

Bold preppy fashion is one of Lola Tung's favorite aesthetics

Red is definitely one of the colors Lola Tung often gravitates to, and for good reason. The bold shade instantly makes her the center of attention wherever she goes. For example, when Tung was photographed in New York City in February 2025, her bright-red blouse kept our attention on the actor. Of course, the adorable bow and cute pleated miniskirt helped, but red is definitely Tung's color — and you can tell she feels confident in it.

A silk minidress is a wardrobe staple, and Lola Tung proves it

We all know that finding your perfect LBD type, no matter what your style is, is essential; however, Lola Tung taught us that pairing our LBD with Barbie-pink eyeshadow and a sleek hairstyle can instantly turn the wardrobe staple into an edgy fashion moment. Tung wore this exact look to the 2023 WWD Honors in October that year, where she arrived in a simple black Miu Miu minidress featuring a deep-V neckline.

Lola Tung isn't afraid of a Canadian tuxedo moment

While double denim is trending, elevating the Canadian tuxedo look doesn't always go according to plan. In fact, the denim-on-denim look can quickly go from edgy fashion to a rodeo aesthetic, and we've seen more than a few celebs experience that. Lola Tung, on the other hand, wore a double-denim look in New York City in July 2025 and single-handedly showed everyone how to execute the trend. The length of the skirt, the tortoiseshell heels, and her stunning smile — all of it was perfection.
