Celeb romances & breakups are no impossible riddle to decode (thanks to the invasive paparazzi). While we crush on their relationship & idealize it, things are not that sweet at the time. So, incite the drama pot (sips on the margarita) & look for yourself how to look your best when you are not going through the best (relationship). Here are some of the iconic Celeb revenge looks for some self love & fashion tips.
Princess Diana
The princess of Wales deserves an honorable mention in the list since she was the one who initiated the whole idea of a revenge look. So, thank you, your highness. At a dinner party in 1994, after her husband confessed to adultery & extra marital affair. The very following evening, she stunned the world by showing up in a Christina Stambolian chiffon off shoulder black dress. The sweetheart neckline flattered the whole look & she completed the look with net stockings, black heels, a black clutch & a pearl choker. It was her take on striking the royal family’s modest dressing restrictions & a moment of freedom for her. She is more of an edgy chic girl now & we are vibing with it. She is currently engaged to screenwriter Dylan Meyer and the duo will soon have marriage on the cards.
Khloe Kardashian
Baby mama Khloe saw a lot of unfortunate things in her love life. We do not want to focus on what’s gone & highlight it (we don’t live in the past & so should you). Instead, we would like to talk about the concept of “Revenge Body” by the Good American founder. (p.s. she has an entire television show about the same). Throughout her relationships, she came out shining better than before. Firstly, we saw her transform her body, style & personality. She went from an insecure, shy girl to a confident woman, mother & a successful businesswoman. The revenge look we are talking about today is the very recent silver sequin dress that is making rounds on her IG. The mermaid waves & clear strappy heels entitled the sequin dress to be the star of the show & she wore this look at the People’s choice award 2021.
Selena Gomez
Ok, we all are familiar with the messed up situation of the pop vocalists. Nobody needs to elaborate on that. In the summer of 2020, Selena released the track, Lose you to love me. It felt like her self expression of letting things go after years, and that song landed straight to our hearts (Selenators would agree). Nonetheless, she gave a lot of looks to take inspiration from. But the most prominent ones are the blue sequin dress by Calvin Klein for the Grammys 2016 which she described as a dreamy prom dress. Another favorite celeb revenge looks coming from her is the 2017 American Music Awards. Taking a short break from the dating bubble, she was busy changing her hairstyle to platinum blonde.
Kristen Stewart
The extremely publicized romance of Bella & Edward was every girl’s teenage dream & took a real turn when both the actors were reported to be dating off screen. C’mon, admit the fact that we all were excited upon this news & shipped them as our forever favorites. She had a completely unique celeb revenge looks transformation with a short hair look & shocked us all with her cool and tom-boy look, breaking the image of what a sweet girl Bella was.
Bella Hadid
The top model was in an on & off relationship with the Canadian singer/vocalist The Weeknd. It was a romance filled with love, passion & picture perfect adoration. But, things went a lil too south for the lovely duo for their precise reasons. Nonetheless, we got a revenge look from the supermodel on the evening of the 2017 Met Gala. She tattered a sheer off the shoulder jumpsuit by Alexander Wang. Her body is already to kill for & she took it to a whole new level with this outfit. You need confidence & that post breakup glow for rocking an outfit this bad. The look also spotted a middle partition bob & black heels, which were barely visible under the fishnet stockings.
Gigi Hadid
Baby mama Gigi & Zayn went through a nasty breakup, and it actually was lamentable to experience as fans. While we don’t like to play the blame game, we can take notes from the supermodel on how to tackle things & show up to the next red carpet looking drop dead gorgeous. She wore a white Prada ensemble for the evening of Met 2022. The first notable change was the refreshed hair color. Maroon red is her pigment & we are here for that any day! Honestly, it’s the feminine urge to transform their hair color asap after slightest inconvenience in our picture perfect romance. She showed up imitating & inspired by the 1960’s American Vogue in a white corset floor length dress. The look would have been just incomplete without those black leather gloves, shiny jewels, blue turquoise eyeshadow & dominant wing eyeliner.
Kim K
Forever is never promised & certain- Kim & Kanye split after seven years of being in what they described as a beautiful marriage. Both business mogul & rapper developed & grew in person with each other & that reflects. But it was getting too neutral & basic! We ought some color at this time & Kim served it well. The most talked about looks post separation are the ones from her vacation in Rome. Truly said, she is aging like fine wine!
The mini Dolce & Gabbana print dress she tattered while roaming around the city & feasting on some pasta is a core memory for us. The first, the accessories, the hair & the makeup, everything gave us a Deja vu of the happy Kim that we would like to see. Although every look she is serving from her vacation is straight fire, we adore this one the best.
Kourtney Kardashian
The eldest Kardashian sister making an entry on this list is no shock. Kourtney is having an entire style revamp instead of flaunting a killer body that she already possesses. The much anticipated vegan television star & the founder of Poosh also experienced an on & off relationship. She is the most realistic & relatable character on the show & currently is in a much healthy relationship. Her style went from the girl next door to the biker chick in a flick of time. To match the vibes of the drummer’s girlfriend, she is peeking like a cunning stylish chameleon & we can not get enough of that!
So ladies, do not jump onto your next commitment without healing yourself from the past. Focus on yourself & learn the art of self love & acceptance & blessings will find you at the right time. These celeb revenge looks show you that the post breakup is the perfect time to prioritize yourself & your goals. Discover yourself again, eat healthily, go trekking, focus on your career & spend time with family & friends.
Do not neglect your feelings & work on accepting the fact that maybe it was not meant to be & of course move on!
