2026 Vs 1974: Supermodel Lauren Hutton Has Always Been Able To Rock A Power Suit
Not many '70s models have managed to have a career that spans decades, but thanks to her beauty, charisma, and talent, Lauren Hutton has. While she is also known for acting in films like "The Gambler" and "American Gigolo," most still think of her as one of the women who helped shape the modern world of modeling. Not only does iconic '70s supermodel Lauren Hutton look incredible in her 80s, but we couldn't help but notice that Hutton has always been true to her style.

Back in 1974, Hutton posed for Vogue while wearing a power suit consisting of white pants and an oversized jacket. The model paired the pieces with a bow tie blouse, creating a chic '70s look. Decades later, Hutton is still a huge fan of the power suit, often ditching classic red-carpet gowns and dresses for pants and a blazer. In May 2026, Hutton attended the Dior Cruise 2027 fashion show in Los Angeles, California, and for the occasion she went with a fun statement look. The model wore pants with side embellishments and a pastel coral, aquamarine, and beige blazer. The highlight of her look was certainly the jacket, which perfectly accentuated Hutton's hair and makeup.
Speaking to WWD in 2014, Hutton explained that figuring out what clothes you like is all about trial and error. "Go for what suits you ... Get rid of everybody's ideas of who you are and who you're supposed to be, and take a good look at yourself," she shared.
Lauren Hutton has found her signature style throughout the years
Throughout the years, Lauren Hutton continued rocking pants and jackets, making the power suit her signature look. And while she may not be the celeb who actually popularized the oversized suit aesthetic, she certainly looks incredible wearing it. In April 2016, she attended the premiere of the film "First Monday in May" in New York City in a casual gray pants-and-blazer combo, ensuring the shades were just different enough for the combination to feel intentional. In April 2018, she showed up to the premiere of "I Feel Pretty" in Westwood, California in yet another signature power suit look — this time she paired gray pants with an oversized white button-up and classic black blazer. The minimalist but timeless looks provide a great example of just what Hutton's style is all about.
As someone who spent almost all of her life working in the fashion industry, Lauren Hutton certainly knows plenty about style and trends. In a 2022 conversation with Vogue, the model shared, however, that fashion and style are two completely different things. "Nobody is born with style unless they have a parent who is very stylish," she said, adding, "They're just copying fashion which is not style. Fashion is what you're offered four times a year and style is what you choose for yourself."
