Vivica A. Fox’s, the actress and producer, style journey throughout her career has always been a source of inspiration. One standout example is the camo skirt outfit she wore on the red carpet at the Kingdom Come premiere in 2001. Fox has consistently been a fashion icon, and this particular ensemble, featuring a camo skirt paired with a textured brown jacket, knee-high boots, and a green shoulder bag, perfectly encapsulates the effortless chicness of the ’90s.

Fox has often exuded “It” Girl energy over and over again on the red carpet, but this look stuck with us the most. It was daring yet uniquely her own. This is a look that can be recreated easily; you’d even be able to find pieces like these available second-hand.

What truly makes this a look, in our opinion, is Fox’s choice to wear a camo print skirt on the red carpet. The knee-high boots add an edgy effect, while the light brown textured coat gives it a sophisticated and put-together essence. The matching green bag with the skirt ties it all together perfectly. She also added a few simple accessories to complement the outfit such as a necklace, hoop earrings, and a belt on the skirt.

This is an outfit that we’d love to see recreated in 2024, as it defies current trends. If Fox were to wear this ensemble today, she would likely be celebrated for her bold fashion choices. While the actress’ looks on and off the camera over the years have evolved, her style essence remains consistent: simple, put together, and, most importantly, effortless. For those interested in recreating this nostalgic look, continue scrolling to find pieces similar to Fox’s ensemble.
