00:00For a long time, Coco Arquette lived in the shade of her famous parents. But as she now
00:05enters her 20s, Arquette is starting to garner attention in her own right,
00:08and her stunning sense of style has a lot to do with it.
00:12The romance between Friends star Courteney Cox and fellow actor David Arquette was one for the
00:16books, as their relationship dominated headlines during the late 90s and early 2000s.
00:21If I may say so, Miss Weathers, you are much prettier in person."
00:29Fans were delighted when the pair got married in 1999, right between the second and third
00:34installments of the Scream series. Cox and David Arquette ended up filing for divorce 13 years
00:39later in 2012, but their split was amicable and still left the couple with the greatest gift of
00:45all — their daughter, Coco Arquette. Far from the sweet kid who first charmed the world in
00:50cameos on Cougar Town and Just Before I Go, Arquette's style has evolved as she's grown
00:55into a young woman. In one of her earlier public appearances back in 2015, Coco Arquette attended
01:00the premiere of Just Before I Go in a comfy outfit that just dipped a toe into the waves of fashion.
01:06Arquette donned a pair of ripped and cuffed blue jeans and a simple black tee,
01:10then topped the ensemble with a fuzzy black and white cardigan.
01:14We can't say for sure whether Arquette chose this eclectic outfit herself. What we can say
01:18is that this outfit, seen at a relatively rare public appearance,
01:21was only the beginning of Arquette's journey into fashion. Teenage Coco Arquette appeared
01:26to take inspiration from the 90s as she worked toward her own sense of style.
01:30But Arquette has one advantage on us in that regard — access to Courtney Cox's closet,
01:34which apparently still holds some throwback treasures. In June 2019, Cox shared an image
01:39of 15-year-old Arquette wearing a smoky purple dress that Cox had originally wore in 1998 while
01:44walking the red carpet for Snake Eyes, a film starring Coco's dad, David Arquette.
01:49After two decades in storage, seeing the dress give new life on Coco was a treat for both her
01:54mother and followers online. As Cox captioned the Instagram post,
01:58"...I'm not one to hold on to things, but this was a damn good purchase, 21 years later."
02:02There comes a time in every teen's life when you stop taking cues from your parents
02:06and start looking at peers to inform your fashion. Scrolling Coco Arquette's Instagram
02:10account, it looks like she hit this milestone in late 2019. A December post showed Arquette
02:15trying out some of the year's quintessential street style trends, pairing baggy boyfriend
02:20jeans and a thick belt with a loose flannel, black crop top, and chunky boots. Even Arquette's
02:25caption acknowledged the significance of breaking out and exploring new aspects of her own aesthetic,
02:30writing,
02:30"...finally wearing different shoes. It's a big deal."
02:33Over the next year or two, Arquette's street style became more and more personal.
02:37The young woman was now experimenting with blonde hair, and as shown in a February 2022
02:42Instagram post, her look had taken on a hint of sporty athleisure, as Arquette posed in
02:47sweatpants and a cropped blue t-shirt emblazoned with a mermaid. As 2022 gave way to January 2023,
02:53Arquette showed off another stellar look on her Instagram account. In the club-ready,
02:56night-out ensemble, Arquette combined a silver bodycon mini-dress with a fuzzy black cardigan,
03:02perfectly encapsulating two of the year's hottest trends, which included both shining
03:06metallics and textured fabrics. From her recent activity online, it looks like Arquette has now
03:11settled into a more romantic fashion vibe. In March 2023, she shared images wearing a red
03:16milkmaid dress. The structured bodice and gathered ribbon-tied bust are gorgeous bygones of another
03:22age, lending the outfit a wholesome air. The outfit also shows off the addition of Arquette's
03:26clavicle tattoo, which seems to be two Kodama forest spirits in an homage to the beloved
03:32Ghibli film Princess Mononoke. As we've seen over the years, Koko Arquette's fashion has
03:36adapted to the times. As the young woman continues to grow into her own throughout
03:41her 20s and beyond, only time will tell how her style continues to evolve.
