From velvet vintage gowns to diaphanous stage capes, Florence Welch’s style is the epitome of Boho chic. Over the years, the Florence + the Machine frontwoman has developed a signature style identity—equal parts Pre-Raphaelite muse and Rock goddess—long before Boho fashion ever had a “Renaissance.” Whether barefoot on stage or gliding into a red carpet in floor-length, Alessandro Michele-designed Gucci and Valentino, Welch exudes an effortless glamour that feels both retro and otherworldly. And while the singer most certainly loves a free-flowing silhouette, she has no problems suiting up in tailoring or rocking tapered trousers on the stage. Like her music, her fashion choices are a true “Spectrum.”
