Bandage dresses are back! The body-hugging silhouette that was once a staple on club dance floors and red carpets is back, but this time, with minor tweaks. While recent iterations of this design still subscribe to the same tight, form-fitting look as those of yesteryear, designers and fashion shops are reworking the iconic body con with unexpected enhancements. The bandage dress is shedding its party-girl image for a more refined and elegant direction—think longer hemlines, cleaner cuts, and toned-down palettes.
Below, our celebrity inspos on how to cop the bandage dress now.
Kelsey Merritt
A bandage dress is surprisingly easy to style. The beauty of it is that it looks meticulously styled, even when you only had seconds to hop into the garment and go. For a timeless, fail-proof look, pair it with black tights and matching heels.
Kylie Verzosa
This look is probably one of the hottest takes on this form-fitting trend! From its impeccable corset style top to its sexy wrap skirt, this piece will turn heads.
Coleen Garcia-Crawford
Not all bandage dresses have to feature thick straps, and this look of Coleen is the perfect proof. Its alluring cutout panels make it even too good to resist!
Kai Montinola
If you’re looking for a summer dress option, there’s a bandage dress option for you too! Its slightly loose yet fitted bodice and floral prints make it a sophisticated way to nail the trend.
