If you haven’t yet met Whitney Peak, then prepare to. Not only is she actress on the rise, but Peak’s style is the epitome of Gen Z cool.
The world’s introduction to the 23-year-old came in 2019 (she was only 16 at the time), when Peak starred as Zoya Lott in the Gossip Girl reboot. And she’s only gone from strength to strength since then, with her next role arguably her biggest yet – she’ll star opposite Aussie Joseph Zada as Lenore Dove Baird in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. And not long after, she’ll appear in a still under-wraps role in Miami Vice ’85, alongside the likes of Michael B. Jordan and Dominic Sessa.
Peak’s style is also on the rise. A trawl through her Instagram archives reveals a soft spot for the bomber jacket and a relaxed blue jean. Boxer shorts that peek above low slung trousers are another favourite, as are graphic tees. Peak is also a brand ambassador for CHANEL, so it’s not uncommon to see her sitting front row with the brand, or even walking the Met Steps in something stunning. Of course, it also helps that Peak has stylist-to-the-stars Karla Welch on her team. The two regularly put together killer red carpet looks that manage to strike a careful balance between haute couture and effortless cool. No easy feat.
But don’t just let us tell you. See for yourself, with a handful of her best looks, below.
