5 REASONS WHY JADE THIRLWALL IS THE ULTIMATE IT GIRL

By Lizzie Griffin, 14 January 2025

JADE AKA Jade Thirlwall just served up a new anthem: IT Girl, and the internet is eating it up! Even the name of the single is so her, because whether she’s releasing chaotic bangers or giving us hair choreography over on the clock app, she’s always iconic. Whilst everyone’s got her single on repeat, we’re hitting pause to celebrate her most-notable outfits and give you five reasons why she’s the ultimate It-girl.

#1: SHE NAILS EFFORTLESS STREET STYLE

At Burberry’s SS25 show last year, Jade arrived in a brown leather hoodie *and* an iconic checked scarf, proving there are more ways to style a scarf than just wrapping it around your neck. Take notes – this’ll be a styling must in your new-season uniform.

#2: SHE’S VERSATILE

Now in her post-Little Mix era, Jade has reinvented herself into JADE (the most iconic version yet). Something else she’s reinvented? The classic Canadian tuxedo. Here she wears a cream denim co-ord that’s both understated and head-turning. If you love this look, you need to see the Spring Preview aesthetic.

#3: HER TAILORING GAME IS IMPECCABLE

We predicted it: masculine tailoring will be big for 2025, and Jade got the memo too. From the tonal pinstripe to the boxy oversized fit, it’s giving Patrick Bateman-core and we’re paying attention.

#4: SHE DOES SIMPLE WITH MAX IMPACT

We love an LBD with something a little extra. This mini dress has all the kind of drama we want – an interesting neckline, voluminous sleeves and fun ribbon details. Copy and paste her monochrome look with dresses, plus the accessories to match.

#5: HER RED CARPET LOOKS ARE ALWAYS ICONIC

One thing to know about Jade? She knows how to make an entrance. Strap in because here she looks like a fantasy in a corset-style dress complete with lace-up detailing and sheer drapery. No one does the red carpet better – no thoughts, only JADE.
