Everyone’s talking about Frankie Stark. But beyond the name and her ties to Chrome Hearts; how much do we really know?
Bikinis, shoes, leopard prints. Frankie Belle Stark has that kind of style you feel like you’ve seen before, maybe on Pinterest, maybe on your explore page, or maybe even in your own saved folders without realising it. It’s familiar, but hard to pin down. The youngest daughter of Richard Stark and Laurie Lynn Stark, she is deeply connected to Chrome Hearts, the cult luxury brand her parents built. But Frankie isn’t defined by her family name. She’s a designer, an entrepreneur, and a fashion lover herself.
So, who is she, truly? Now a Parsons graduate, Frankie doesn’t chase trends or curated clout. From custom Chrome Hearts pieces for Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, and Olivia Rodrigo to streetwear looks you’ve saved without thinking, she’s quietly building a unique sense of style.

An island girl at heart, Stark grew up surrounded by the world of Chrome Hearts, whose aesthetic quietly shaped her eye from early on. At just 14 to 15 years old, she took her first real step into fashion with Dipped in Blue, the swimwear label she co-founded with long-time friend Konoka Lulu Smith. What started as a creative project between friends quickly took on a life of its own, evolving into a brand that fuses laid-back beach energy with ‘90s-inspired grit and an effortless kind of cool.

In August 2025, Frankie Belle Stark was 22 and had just graduated from Parsons School of Design. Even before she stepped onto any red carpet, her moment was already circulating online—mostly thanks to her custom Chrome Hearts graduation cap, detailed with pink and white crosses. It was playful, a little bold, and very her: the kind of detail that quietly sums up her whole approach to style.

Frankie inherited her parents’ talent—it’s always been in her blood. Her eye for design quickly caught the attention of pop culture’s biggest names. She has since created custom pieces for Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, and Olivia Rodrigo, honouring the brand’s blend of luxury and gothic-inspired artistry while still maintaining her own signature style.

Stark’s style feels very true to her: effortless, but still put together. Leather jackets and relaxed denim are often paired with more structured tops or silhouettes that flatter her frame, with the occasional hint of colour, like soft pink, to break things up. There’s also a clear Y2K influence in the mix, alongside a more eclectic approach, blending high-fashion designer pieces with thrifted vintage finds. It lands somewhere between laid-back dressing and urban glamour.
And then there’s her shoe collection: wedges, kitten heels, and statement boots, the subtle finishing touches to her outfits.
