Marc Jacobs dressed up for his inoculation occasion, posting a selfie on Instagram of him at a hospital getting the coronavirus jab, dressed in heels.

“I’ve been Pfizer’d,” wrote the 57-year-old designer as he took a snap in the mirror revealing his hot pink trousers, black patterned scarf, the tattoos on his right arm and his glamorous grungy platform boots from Paris-based label Rick Owens.

He thanked those on the frontline with the hashtag #thankyouhealthcareworkers. Certainly a moment worth celebrating.

Many celebrities have been posting their vaccine selfies to social media to encourage people to get their jabs and protect themselves against Covid-19. Country music star Dolly Parton, 75, celebrated her vaccine with a video in which she adapted the lyrics for her iconic song “Jolene”, singing “vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, I'm begging of you, please don't hesitate.”

Fashion designer Donna Karan also shared that she had the jab, though contracted coronavirus before the vaccination had taken effect.

The fashion industry has suffered tremendously during the pandemic, but the success of the vaccine rollout is hoped to give the sector a boost. In the UK, following a strong vaccine programme and falling Covid-19 cases, the government has offered a roadmap out of lockdown, and is planning to end all coronavirus restrictions, if all goes to plan, by 21 June.

Retail businesses can open again from 12 April, including charity shops, fashion outlets and other shops. People going out for dinner, to the pub, weddings and social events is also predicted help fashion, as more people purchase new outfits.
