It goes without saying that Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, the daughter of infamous fashion editor Carine Roitfeld and designer Christian Restoin, would have great taste and a closet full of amazing clothes. Indeed, her mom’s influence on Julia’s personal style is easy to see: She loves black, high heels, eyeliner, and all things sexy and sheer. But it’s interesting to see where she diverges from her mother’s sharp, edgy aesthetic, too — she’s undeniably more feminine, picking soft, ruffly garments that flatter her curvaceous shape. In recent years, she’s become bolder about ditching her all-black palette for a girly pastel, most notably during her pregnancy with daughter Romy, when she showed up to a Chanel event with her belly swathed in pink tulle. Enjoy our look back at her fashion evolution through the years.
