Actress Lynn Whitfield is one of those notable performers in every film she appears in. In the cult classic Eve’s Bayou directed by Kasi Lemmons, Whitfield was a star in the making. Throughout her lauded career she has left an indelible mark on quite a few well-known films including The Josephine Baker Story, A Thin Line Between Love And Hate, and countless others. Her red carpet looks, especially in the early 2000s, were always head-turning.
At a premiere event for the film The Great Debaters, Whitfield wore a monochromatic look that we still view as timeless. It incorporates the now trending bubble hem skirt that’s been circulating on TikTok. This early ‘00s fashion trend can be integrated into your spring wardrobe easily, and Whitfield styled the trend as a minimalistic statement piece, something the early ‘00s is known for. This spring is a good time to try out the trend for yourself, channeling Whitfield’s effortless coquette aesthetic. Her gray-sleeve turtleneck tank top and peep-toe heels were the icing on the cake.
