Since her debut on the popular 80’s sitcom The Cosby Show and later the HBCU-based spinoff A Different World, Lisa Bonet has had the fashion industry in a chokehold with her risky yet slayable fashion choices. Though Denise Huxtable and Bonet are two different beings, the actress and her fictional character share their love of a free-spirited, eclectic wardrobe. Her iconic looks are the perfect marriage of bohemian chic and streetwear and have been the staple of her personal style. From her circle glasses and flowy maxi dresses to oversized blazers and hats on hats on hats.
With a layered pendant here, an embroidered jacket there, Bonet’s style is undeniably admirable. The Girls actress continues to inspire fashion trends today with loose fabrics, hair accessories, and looks to pull for any style inspo mood board from the many eras of her fashion sense from flower child to grunge to a hint of glam metallica. In fact, Bonet is so stylish that she inspired Beyoncé to dress up as her for her 2019 Halloween costume with twins Rumi and Sir Carter posing as double takes of baby Zoë Kravitz.
