Lila Steps into her Mother's Shoes: Double Trouble in Transparent Glam
At the 2023 British Fashion Awards, Lila Moss, channeling her mother Kate, strutted the red carpet in a sparkly silver, see-through gown, complete with black panties as an undeniably show-stopping accessory. The clear resemblance to mom Kate's iconic move in 1993 at the "Look of the Year" party of Elite Model Agency left spectators in awe.
In that same year, the world was treated to none other than matriarch Kate Moss, then 19, with supermodel Naomi Campbell (right) in London, wearing a see-through, strappy Liza Bruce dress. Similar to Lila, an underlayer of dark hosiery made its appearance.
However, as fate would have it, Kate Moss didn't have her eyes on the prize - or the fabric, for that matter - when she graced the "Look of the Year" party in lavish clothing. The fashion idol recently shared words of wisdom with British Vogue, revealing the shocking truth behind her infamous scanty dress:
"I didn't know this dress was see-through until the pictures appeared in the paper the next day. It was the flash that made it look naked. When I wore it, I didn't think the fabric was that sheer. But obviously it was."
Lila's confidence in daring to recreate her mother's iconic fashion moment does not come from misfortune but rather a hopeful act of love and tradition. In an interview with Vogue, the 21-year-old raved about her designer Nensi Dojaka's polished, elegant, and sexy garments, equating them to her feelings of confidence.
To truly embody her mother's spirit, Lila added a finishing touch, embellishing her look with vintage earrings from Kate's glittering collection, turning heads and serving as a testament to their shared legendary status in the fashion world.
One more secret ingredient to Lila's flawless ensemble was her hairstyle, which mirrored Kate's iconic bun from the Donna Karan show in 1993. Lila, determined to pay tribute to her mother, scoured the depths of Pinterest in search of inspiration and found an image of her mother's loose, elegant bun that stole the show at the Donna Karan show – almost exactly 30 years to the day.
Lila's dedication to honoring her roots won her adoration from all angles, leaving everyone aspiring to achieve a fraction of the exquisite elegance and timeless sophistication of both Lila and her iconic mother, Kate Moss.

As a side note, while Kate Moss's 1993 appearance at the "Look of the Year" party inspired Lila's fashion choice, the two events were not directly linked; Lila's choice to pay tribute to her mother's iconic style moments was the primary motivation.
