Though Dolce & Gabbana’s “cool girl”-inspired catwalk might possibly the antithesis of Rosamund Pike’s viral monologue from the 2014 thriller film “Gone Girl,” the new capsule still captures the current obsession with the European cosmopolitan cool girl. Mini skirts and high boots, along with the occasional culotte or capri pant, capitalizes on the brand’s previous trademark within the Y2K aesthetic.

The legacy of the now-defunct D&G line that merged with the main Dolce & Gabbana brand in 2011 drives forward the Fall/Winter 2025 line. Embodying a youthful flexibility, the new pieces feel more reliant on being styled in a trendy way — perhaps an attempt by the brand to create a timeless effect within their garment construction. Additionally, oversized black beanies were omnipresent in each look.

The new collection is divided into two sections — outerwear and eveningwear. While outerwear plays with proportions and layering in classic streetwear fashion, the eveningwear section is far more sensual, and uses fun textiles and varying lengths and necklines to design the wardrobe of the eclectic cool girl Dolce & Gabbana modeled the line after.

Jackets were the standout feature of the entirety of the runway show. Whether fur, sequin, denim, or fringe, each one felt completely unique from the last as they walked one by one. 

The styling — though undeniably chic and put together — is ultimately a fair amount similar to other shows juxtaposing a bounty of unique textiles, bedazzling the simplest of garments, and opting for fringe to make things more interesting. Dolce & Gabbana has formulated a cool girl who is actively dressing with the trends, but perhaps not ahead of them.
