Zoë Kravitz arrived at “The Batman” premiere in New York and certainly dressed the part as Catwoman. Kravitz, who plays the character Selina Kyle alongside Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, wore a custom Oscar de la Renta dress with the silhouette of two black cats at the bust. Kravitz’s dress draws the perfect line between camp and elegant. The custom floor-length, strapless black gown features a plunging keyhole at the bust that goes straight down to her navel. The opening at the bust is fastened by corset-inspired lacing, and the silhouette of each kitty is perfectly positioned over each breast. Eagle-eyed fashion critic and Instagram account Diet Prada quickly spotted Oscar de la Renta’s design reference thanks to research done by vintage expert Cherie Balch of S...
As much as I love them and wouldn’t be able to get dressed on the regular without them, I’m getting sick and tired of wearing jeans day in and day out. Surely, I’m not the only one? This is precisely why I’ve set myself a bit of a style challenge—one I’m inviting you to join in too. Since spring is on the horizon, I’ve made it my mission to forgo denim for the foreseeable future, and instead, I’m going to embrace my favourite look of them all: dresses with ankle boots. Dresses and ankle boots never fail to look chic and will help you navigate any and every sartorial hurdle the season throws at you. I wear mine for work, dinners out, drinks with friends, on shopping trips—heck, just about anywhere that doesn’t call for something slightly fancier, like, say, weddi...
Because the jumper-dress trend has stood the test of time and proven popular for many seasons now, there are so many iterations out there to choose from if you’re looking to invest in one or build up your collection. Yes, there are a number of designers doing them really well (think Christopher Esber and Chloé), but luckily for us, this is one of those trends the high street has absolutely nailed too. In particular, H&M has knocked its knitted-dress offering out of the park. We know the high-street retailer is always impressive at producing premium-looking basics, but trust us when we say its rib-knit dresses are next-level good. Almost all of the ones on site have five-star reviews (or at least over four) with recurring comments about great quality and fi...

If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with ...
The 2022 BRIT Awards are a much-needed fashion indulgence. Unlike film and television award red carpets, music award shows are dedicated to over-the-top celebrity outfits — and with stars like Adele, Little Simz, and Holly Humberstone leading the nominations, the looks promise to be dramatic, tailored, and a bit ’90s. Opening the red carpet was a daring, black Mônot two-piece set with zigzag hemlines worn by Maya Jama. Nominee Holly Humberstone also brought a bit of ’90s to the BRITs with a grunge-inspired black lace dress paired with feathered, arm-length cuffs. KSI kept it cool with an eclectic black harness worn over a smart grey suit, vertical split-hem trousers, and chunky platform shoes. And Anne-Marie switched it up with a minimal, black leather jacket, as opposed to her...
For my birthday last year, instead of shopping for a new dress, I decided to dig deep into the archives of my own wardrobe. If you haven’t done this recently, I highly recommend as I found hidden gems that deserve to be taken notice of. One being the H&M knitted midi dress I first wore six years ago at London Fashion Week. I remember styling it with a pair of striped mules and gold hoops, and if it isn’t broke why fix it? So I wore this exact same outfit for my birthday dinner, and I love it as much now as I did back then. I’ve also realised I now own five knitted dresses, all of which I wear on heavy rotation across all seasons. So versatile, there’s something about the timeless knit fabric that makes any dress style–from long sleeved to racer back and cut-out–effortlessly ...

We’re likely all asking ourselves the same question at the moment: What can I wear that is as comfy as loungewear but looks like I’ve put a lot more effort in? It’s cold and grey a lot of the time in January, and most of us are working from home, so the motivation levels are low. We get it. But the desire to feel put-together is still there, and there’s no better or easier shortcut to reaching that goal than a great dress. “But it’s winter!” we hear you shout. Yes, it still is—but most of the 23 dresses in our list below are cold-weather ready, or at least can be with the simple addition of a roll-neck, a pair of chunky boots and maybe some opaques. Then, come spring, you can toss these layers aside dramatically (or store t...
While I still have some concerns pertaining to sitting and getting out of taxis, I, for one, am all for the holey-dress energy I’m witnessing in 2022. It’s a statement, bold, fun, and 1000 times sexier than the joggers I’m currently wearing as I type this. Perhaps a dress with holes is just what I need to reignite my style spark for the year ahead and to rediscover some of my pre-2020 dressing confidence. If you, too, could use some extreme cut-outs in your life, scroll on to see my picks, from Kai Collective’s OG designs to some subtler interpretations.

There are certain things that universally signify spring—flowers popping up in the parks, getting ready to order your first Pimm’s, and the fact that it’s lighter in the evenings. However, to us fashion types, nothing feels quite so spring-like as stepping out in a gorgeous dress (without the need for tights). And right now, while we’re still firmly in winter, we’re noticing specific dress trends emerge as new-season offerings start to drop in. Below, I’ve listed the eight dress trends that I think you’ll see for spring through to summer in 2022. Long-sleeve, denim and knitted dresses are perfect for the next few months of daily walks, while the bright-pink dresses and fun minis I’ve found below have rescheduled ...

Hemlines are going to new extremes. naked dresses aren’t just for red carpets anymore. The coolest designers are doing very clever and covetable things with draping.
