Studio 54 Fashion Moments Living Rent-Free In Our Heads

From Cher’s cut-out dresses to Elton John’s suits, here’s how to channel 70s soul for party season.

From Andy Warhol to Liza Minelli, everyone who was anyone on the 1970s art scene made an appearance at the iconic Studio 54. Decades later, the lasting impact of 70s fashion lives on in contemporary closets with high-rise jeans and halter necks making confident comebacks. Come along as we reflect on the Manhattan nightclub’s fashion moments we’re still obsessing over, perfect for party season. 

Cher’s Cut-Out Dresses

It wouldn’t be a faithful 70s fashion recap without mentioning the one and only Cher. The singer’s signature cut-out styles were decades ahead of their time and it's a true testament to their everlasting glamour that they’re still echoed on red carpets and runways today.

Grace Jones’ Hats 

An unrivalled trailblazer in fashion, Jamaican model Grace Jones embodied the vibrant Studio 54 ethos. The signature weapon in her style-artillery was Jones’ use of bold hats and headscarves. Proving time and time again the way chic headwear can frame your face.

Elton John’s Suits

A major player in the Studio 54 sphere, Elton John’s style has become synonymous with the 1970s queer experience. Next to his extravagant glasses, Elton’s refreshing take on classic menswear has made waves in fashion. Nowadays we’re still loving the way sartorial satin and velvet blazers catch the light on the dance floor.

Cher’s Dancing Jeans 

Of course we’re circling back to Cher. What can we say, her Studio 54 looks were just too good! The 70s star breaking it down on the dance floor in a pair of jeans and strappy heels was nothing short of iconic, proving her fashion prowess went beyond bedazzled dresses and flared jumpsuits.

Bianca Jagger’s Off-The-Shoulder Dress

A landmark in history, Bianca Jagger arriving at Studio 54 on horseback was a level of queen energy we can only aspire to. In true Maid Marian fashion, she wore a romantic off-the-shoulder dress by Halston (the father of 1970s womenswear) elegantly draped to the side, an ode to the era’s bohemian influence.
