Drew Barrymore’s Crisp White Suit Is a Lesson in How to Put a Modern Twist on a Classic Style

Drew Barrymore may have been the poster girl for grunge in the ’90s, but at 47, she has swapped her biker jackets for crisp suiting courtesy of Fendi.

Barrymore put a twist on classic tailoring at the annual Webby awards on May 16 with a quirky layered jacket and a preppy shirt-tie combination, all in pristine white. Completing her look: chunky platforms tucked neatly beneath her wide-leg trousers and a Fendi First clutch.

Take a look:

Twenty-something Drew would add a gothic edge to a sultry slip with a dark lip and heavy eyeliner, but for the Webbys her make-up was pared back. The understated beauty look complimented her beachy brunette waves, a departure from her choppy blonde hairstyles of yore.

Drew Barrymore knows the power of a great suit. At Christian Siriano’s autumn-winter 2022 show in February, the actor wore cherry-red oversized suiting from Siriano’s pre-fall 2022 collection with her hair in a mass of curls that called to mind a ’90s Julia Roberts. Old-school Drew will forever have a place in our hearts, but her elegant style evolution is truly mesmerizing.
