How to dress like Mia Khalifa and channel your inner fashion girl

Mia Khalifa has reclaimed her narrative from a past that defined her identity. Now, she poses as a fashionable muse in front of Juergen Teller's celebrated lens. Khalifa has been using fashion as a way to showcase who she is. Positioning her style between the oversized fluidity of streetwear and the toned abs reminiscent of the Y2K aesthetic. While racking up a certain number of followers on social media may get you contacts of all the PR girls for sourcing requests, it takes a real fashion consumer to understand where brand and personality identity align like two puzzle pieces. The social media star has proven she can go beyond the basics.

Sashaying down the runway or on the street, we take a look at some fun outfits from her wardrobe that scored points with the fashion set.

Khalifa embodies the showgirl energy in London as she dresses for the National Theatre in vintage Betsy Johnson and a dramatic fuchsia jacket from spring/summer 2004 Tom Ford era Gucci.

Happy Birthday Mr President, who? Paired with Schiaparelli earrings and cuffs, Khalifa shines in a Mirror Palais off-white creation that harks back to old Hollywood glamour and screams modern-day Marilyn Monroe.

Another day at fashion week, Khalifa shows up in a barely-concealed look from Estermanas casually paired with a Ludovic de Saint Sernin jacket and Ann Demeulemeester boots complete with glasses for the Egon Lab spring/summer ‘24 show in Paris. It's clear that by not choosing the obvious route for the brands she has worn so far, Khalifa seems to know the intel on which outfits will cut through the noise.

Khalifa wears a floral-print Louis Vuitton two-piece as she attends Pharrell William’s spring/summer ‘24 show.

Everyone was in Dipetsa earlier this year, and once again, Khalifa proves she feels the pulse of fashion as she wears an iconic “wet” creation from Dipetsa which also visually doubles as a sweater. She pairs the look with a Louis Vuitton X Yayoi Kusama purse and acetate shades.

Who said one could not live in one's coat, even if it's a hundred degrees? Coupled with the iconic Loewe balloon pumps and some Linda Farrow glasses, Khalifa combines 90s Hollywood glam with what seems to look like the fashion-forward librarian in Miami dream.

Khalifa wears a glitzy lavender look for the launch of Off-White c / o Church’s designed by Virgil Abloh. It's giving Disco Barbie - moreover, the shades have not been left behind.

Acid-green coupled with black definitely did become a street style fixation—transitioning these colours into a high fashion ensemble by Windowsen, Khalifa embodies the futuristic diva, complete with green-tinted frames from Hall of Frames.

Of course it makes sense that Khalifa, all cheek will go for the sexy librarian look when invited to Oxford University for a talk. Glasses in place and tie askew, she wore a Diesel and Dilara Findikoglu ensemble at the university, coupling whimsy with business casual.

Who said comics are for boys? The streetwear side of Mia is casual but fun, as she dons an oversized comic-printed ensemble complete with the iconic Y2K streetwear underwear reveal and Nikes. Taken just before Barbie hit the screens, a peak of Barbiecore adds the extra oomph.

After the KNWLS spring/summer ‘24 show, Khalifa came out from backstage in a sharp yet glitzy ensemble from the brand. Her walk was stunning and so was her post-show look.

Khalifa gave her spin on Riverdale-core at the Off-White fall/winter ‘23 show, in a baseball jacket, unbuttoned cuffs and a knotted shirt, as she serves some main character energy.

A trip to the gallery or the local magazine store calls for some quick quiet luxury—but make it sexy, as Khalifa demonstrates in Vetements and Rudi Gernreich and as usual, some pointed shades.
