Lili Reinhart'S Versace Vibe: Entering Her Mean Girl Era In Style

Vintage Versace and the Mean Girl Method

Lili Reinhart is not just stepping into her villain era for the highly anticipated Forbidden Fruits press tour – she's catapulting herself into it with a show-stopping look. Portraying the character Apple, the boss of a femme cult, Reinhart is drawing eyes with a wardrobe that screams power and poise. Just in time for the March 27 movie release, she kicked off the press tour on March 12 with a vintage Versace mini dress that would make Regina George nod in approval.

Reinhart made a memorable appearance on Good Morning America, joined by her co-stars Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, and Alexandra Shipp. The dress code? A throwback to the '90s cool-girl clique, with Reinhart leading the charge in a sultry long-sleeve little black dress. But this wasn't just any LBD. Stylist Ib Abdel Nasser unearthed a gem from Versace's Fall 1992 Couture collection – a piece that's four years older than Reinhart herself. The "bandage" dress featured ribbed fabric clinging to her frame, complete with black leather belts and yellow gold buckles that matched her pointy Versace pumps. And let's not forget those blood-red nails, a classic HBIC touch.

“Lili Reinhart's style evolution is both a nod to the past and a bold step into her role's darker side,” says a fashion insider.

Channeling Apple's Dark Aesthetic

Reinhart’s character Apple isn’t shy about her love for black, as showcased in the movie teaser. In line with her character's vibe, Reinhart continued her stylish tour in a micro-mini blazer dress – edgy, with padded shoulders and a hint of risqué. Swapping out her Versace for a sharp black number, she completed the look with sleek pumps, bold cat-eye sunglasses, and a chic bowling bag by Antonio Marras.

But that's not all. Last week, Reinhart dazzled at the 2026 Glaad Awards in a cool-toned, green Elie Saab gown. Though a romantic departure from Apple's style, it perfectly encapsulated Reinhart's signature elegance.

Fashion Forward or Back to Basics?

As the Forbidden Fruits press tour continues, all eyes are on whether Reinhart will stay in little black dress territory or dive into Gen Z favorites inspired by her character. Regardless of her choice, one thing's for sure – Reinhart's willingness to experiment with her wardrobe proves she's not afraid to embrace her "mean girl" side, even if it means temporarily shelving her personal aesthetic.
