Sister Dressing: Haim’s Stylish Coordination

Sister dressing may not resonate with everyone, often evoking memories of formal family portraits and designated outfits for special occasions. However, Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim, the talented sisters of the band Haim, have elevated the concept of coordinated attire to an impressive level, potentially even convincing skeptics to embrace the idea.

Given that Haim is a family band, it’s expected that they would excel at coordinated dressing. Over the last decade, the trio has made a compelling argument for the charm of matching ensembles, particularly when family resemblance is a factor. While they easily pull off identical looks—as evidenced by their striking Louis Vuitton minidresses at the Barbie premiere or their tailored suits at the 2022 Glamour Women Of The Year Awards—the sisters have refined their style to create a unique balance between unity and individual expression.

The Haim sisters achieve cohesion in their outfits by centering their looks around a common texture, color scheme, or shape. Much like their musical performances, they seamlessly blend together while allowing their individual styles to shine through. The real success lies in how each outfit stands out, both individually and as part of the group’s overall aesthetic. A prime example is their appearance at the 2021 Grammys, where they donned elegant periwinkle Prada dresses. Each sister showcased their personal flair—Este with a turtleneck featuring decorative holes, Danielle with tailored trousers, and Alana pairing her ensemble with an overcoat.

Designer Nicolas Ghesquière appears to fully grasp the Haim sisters’ sartorial objectives. Regular attendees of Louis Vuitton shows, they consistently turn to Ghesquière for their wardrobe needs, whether it be for performances or high-profile events like the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. Their thematic alignment in attire is notable: for instance, in 2025, they selected ruched copper-toned satin dresses, while the previous year they opted for striking black dresses embellished with rhinestones.

Whether Haim embraces the full matchy-matchy approach or playfully interprets a broader theme, Este, Danielle, and Alana inspire a sense of nostalgia and camaraderie that makes one wish for a sister to share in the fashion fun. Below are some of their most memorable moments of sisterly style.
