From 1984 to 1992, Thursday nights were all about “The Cosby Show.” And while to say a lot has changed since then would be a HUGE understatement, one fact remains – Denise Huxtable, the free-spirited daughter played by Lisa Bonet, was a style star. Known for wearing bold colors, playful patterns and amazing accessories, she was boho chic before it was even a thing. In honor of one of television’s best dressed teens, we’re looking at some of our favorite looks from Denise Huxtable.
Denise’s outfits were always beautifully curated down to the accessories. What could have been just a basic denim jacket and skirt is elevated with a pair of statement earrings and a colorful head wrap.
We love the deep color of the chunky sweater and beret in this monochromatic look, but the pins on both her hat and sweater steal the show.
The colorfully stripped hat and statement earrings turn a monochromatic outfit into a look.

Denise was the best at making menswear look oh so feminine, like these high waisted pants and bold print button-down shirt.
Here, Denise adds a feminine touch to menswear by layering a ruffled blouse under a plaid blazer.

One thing about Denise Huxtable, ya girl was never afraid to play with patterns. Somehow these tropical print separates just work in an episode from Season 5.
