Iris Law Summer: A Guide to Stealing Her Style This Season

If you’ve already run out of ideas for styling your summer outfits and keep reaching for the same safe jorts and tank top combo (same), allow me to redirect your attention to the ultimate summer fit inspiration: Iris Law’s Instagram.

Iris, Jude Law’s daughter (yes, The Holiday Jude Law), has been a consistent presence in the fashion industry. She studied textiles at Central Saint Martins and walked her first Miu Miu show in 2020, but it was her drastic hair change in 2021 that really marked a shift in her style. She shaved and bleached her head to play punk legend Soo Catwoman in the 2022 miniseries Pistols, and since then, she’s cemented her image as a Gen Z experimental fashion It girl. Most recently, she’s been named the face of KNWLS for AW25 and starred alongside fellow It girl Gabriette in Marc Jacobs’ new Heaven campaign, inspired by the cult-loved 2003 movie Thirteen.

Her style strikes the perfect balance between trendy and totally personal. Here are all the tricks you need to steal from her to have the coolest summer outfits:

Layers on Top of Layers 

If you thought layering is just for autumn and winter, you need to work on that limiting belief. And Iris’ styling suggestions can help you with that. She’s done the classics, like putting a lace tank top over a white tee, but also experiments with more playful twists. Think: two bustiers layered on top of each other— a genius styling tip for your next trip to the beach. Sometimes it’s even simpler but just as effective, like tying a lace wrap skirt over a pair of pants. Steal these layering techniques and elevate any look, no extra effort required. 

Prints & Textures Havoc 

Summer is for having fun — and what’s more fun than mixing prints and fabrics that shouldn’t work together, but totally do? Iris is no stranger to integrating trendy prints into her outfits, like this season’s polka dot print, but it’s her more chaotic pairings that really stick with you. A plaid skirt paired with military-print boots? It shocked me, meaning I had to try and recreate it immediately. She also plays with textures: sheer fabrics with lace, metallics with cotton, silks and tulles — she's tried it all, and honestly, you should too.

Pop of Color 

Step away from the all-beige summer look — Iris shows that colour can be easy to wear. Her go-to palette leans toward buttermilk yellow, dusty pink, and soft blue, and she has such a satisfying way of combining these shades that it’ll make you crave colour.
Still scared of pastels? Try her strategy of layering neutral shades: white-on-white or different tones of beige, with subtle pops of colour. Or, if you’re feeling bolder, add just one item — a top, shorts, or cardigan — in bright red, teal, or royal purple. Suddenly, colour won’t feel so scary.

Kitschy Accessories & Cool Shoes 

If all the above feels a little too bold, take a cue from Iris and focus on accessories. Statement eyewear is a must in her outfits, but she also goes for fun jewellery, especially earrings (those teapot earrings? Obsessed). She loves a disruptive hair accessory too — clips shaped like bunnies or bones, or that “CHAOS” Vivienne Westwood hairband that I cannot stop thinking about.

Socks are another one of her go-to’s: sheer or cut-out styles, worn with statement shoes like the Nike Total 90s (calling it now: the next It shoe) or lace-up ballerinas. It’s the perfect formula for making your baby doll dress feel brand new.

Bold Makeup 

Repeat after me: Playful outfits do not mean boring makeup. Iris keeps her base minimal — natural, radiant-looking skin and that perfect sunburnt flush — but her eye makeup? It stands out just as much as her outfits. She matches her eye looks to her outfit (that eyeshadow in the same dusty pink as her shirt), or goes full drama with metallic foiled eyeshadow and glitter. Another look she loves? Glitter particles scattered across her cheeks like freckles — something to save for your next festival this summer.

Iris Law’s summer style is the perfect mix of creative, cool, and just a little bit unhinged — in the best way. Her outfits feel personal, experimental, and fun, and honestly, in a way that makes dressing yourself exciting again. So if you’re wondering what to wear this summer, start with her Instagram.
