By Red Dimaandal-Escamillas

If you’ve been following Julia Barretto on social media, you’ll know that she has always loved a body-con dress. 

Yes, fashion in general has been moving back towards body-con silhouettes—see maxi and drop-waist dresses—so the actress is clearly onto something with keeping her signature look alive. 

So, if you’re looking for inspiration on how to style a bodycon look, look no further than these Julia-approved looks.

Sequined Dress

Julia wore a sequined and one shoulder dress, complete with an asymmetrical high slit. It’s such a minimal and elegant take on the style.
