Christina Haack's Most Outdated Outfits Were Hard To Ignore

Christina Haack has spent the better part of a decade building before-and-afters. Across shows like "Flip or Flop," "Christina on the Coast," and "The Flip Off," she's turned dated houses into Pinterest-ready dream dwellings. Along the way, she has become one of HGTV's most recognizable figures — the blonde bombshell with a sledgehammer in one hand and a Starbucks in the other. But style, like laminate flooring, doesn't always age gracefully.

Whilst Haack's strong shoe game suggests a woman who knows how to finish a look, some of her past outfits feel, in short, dated. To her credit, she's no stranger to reinvention. She looks completely different today compared to her HGTV debut with short hair, and is nearly unrecognizable ditching her hair extensions. But the best renovators should know when it's time to rip out and replace. With a few of her looks in particular, we fear no amount of shiplap can help.

Wearing too much black is one of those outdated fashion moves that instantly ages you — even if you have the most youthful of wardrobes. Anna Wintour has a rule to never wear all-black, saying "it seems too gloomy and as if one is going to a funeral," in response to a question for Vogue's "Ask Anna" series. Unfortunately, Haack's wardrobe depends heavily on that singular shade. In a June 2025 outfit, she paired a tank with oversized grommeted boots and denim. We regret to say this feels more costumey than anything high-fashion.

Wedge heels have officially been sentenced as one of the outdated heel trends to step away from in 2025. Their heyday peaked in the mid-2010s, but Christina Haack clearly didn't receive the memo. To celebrate her 42nd birthday, she slipped into Christian Dior's Dway Wedge Sandals, featuring deep blue calfskin and embroidered cotton. They're luxe, sure, but no amount of branding can disguise the dated silhouette.

With this tomato-red cutout top, Christina Haack manages to hit not one but two of fall 2025's outdated trends to ditch. Tomato red, once the darling of breezy Italian summer dressing, has been relegated in favor of moodier shades, leaving its punchy brightness feeling a little too on-the-nose. Cut-out silhouettes (especially midriff-baring, gym-adjacent ones) have similarly lost their luster, replaced by more classic shapes. Between the color and the crop, nothing about this look screamed trend-forward tastemaker.

If we've learned anything from the past few fashion cycles, it's that we need to prepare for skinny jeans not coming back. Frankly, that ship has sailed. But despite their prolonged fade from trend relevance, Christina Haack continues to regard them as a wardrobe staple. This all-black look she wore to her son's school performance, complete with vacuum-sealed denim, is damning evidence.

In February 2025, Haack struck again with another outdated heel offense — this time opting for sky-high stilettos to board a private jet. By the time she donned them, the fashion tide had already turned towards more wearable options, like traditional kitten heels or block styles (which actually let you walk more than five steps without a wobble). As any orthopedic doctor or reflexologist will warn you, heels of this height are just risky.

After dominating the culture season upon season, the quiet luxury and old money aesthetics feels like they're finally fading from fashion's front row. But that's not to say swinging to the opposite extreme is the solution, as Christina Haack's logo-laden Louis Vuitton bikini seems to suggest. In fact, streetwear's logo love affair came to a decisive end in 2025. With monograms splashed across every inch, this is anything but chic.
