The classic velvet suit has acquired its own level of fashionable flair in recent years, with Gigi Hadid, Halle Berry, and Olivia Wilde all hopping on the bandwagon in designs from Tommy Hilfiger, Veronica Beard, and Alberta Ferretti.<\/p>\n

While the velvet suit has always evoked a distinctive quality of cool, it’s safe to say that the perennial style staple has never been the same since Tom Ford<\/a>\u2019s inimitable tenure as creative director at Italian fashion house Gucci<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

More specifically, the crimson velvet suit from the designer\u2019s Fall\/Winter 1996 collection famously worn by Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a> at the MTV Video Music Awards<\/a> caused the ensemble to go down in fashion history.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the velvet suit has always been a festive formal go-to in menswear, Ford\u2019s unique reimagining of the classic cut gave the velvet pantsuit a modern femininity. <\/span><\/p>\n

The fashion community collectively lost their minds when Ford remade the look for his Fall\/Winter 2019 collection, and when the iconic look was revisited at Alessandro Michele\u2019s Gucci Love Parade event<\/a> last November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other memorable velvet suits have been seen recently on the red carpet on Dakota Johnson, Camila Morrone, and more. Below, some celebrity inspiration to spark your holiday party circuit dressing this year.<\/span><\/p>\n
