The White Lotus Style Files: Kimonos, Karma, and Couture – Chapter 3
Finally, the most talked-about season—and we’re off to Thailand: land of serenity, smoothie bowls, and spiritual awakenings (or at least the Instagram version of it). The setting screams “transformational journey,” but of course, everyone arrived with their emotional baggage neatly packed in monogrammed luggage. The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui sets the scene: jungle-lined paths, lotus ponds, and minimalist villas with just the right amount of incense.
The wardrobe? A mix of breezy linens, artisanal prints, wellness-core robes, and that “I-just-finished-a-silent-retreat-but-still-look-rich” energy. It’s namaste meets neurosis. But don’t be fooled by all the kaftans and barefoot meditations—there were some seriously styled-up moments too, from vintage Versace and that custom Jacquemus couture moment to outfits that said healing journey, but make it designer-approved. Because in The White Lotus universe, enlightenment is nice—but doing it in head-to-toe runway-ready glam? Essential.
If for the previous seasons I used the show's vibe and characters’ outfits as a loose moodboard, this time it’s different—you don’t just want inspiration, you want half of those signature looks packed straight into your own suitcase. So let’s recap the guests, soak in the scenery, and dive into my selection—this time featuring real pieces worn in the show.
And if you missed the first two stops—Hawaii and Taormina are up too
