From lime green sequins trimmed with zebra print to tangerine-hued slips as seen on Hailey Bieber, say hello to summer’s very ’90s-coded night dress trend that’s bound to be everywhere when the sun hits.

What people wear to Coachella hits just as hard as the music (if not more), and when Hailey Bieber arrived at her Bieberchella Rhode pop-up in an archival 1998 Christian Dior slip dress, a Spring/Summer trend was made then and there.

The look plays into that nightwear-as-daywear trend, and whilst these slinky, minuscule slips feel quite lingerie-fueled and sexy, we love the look most when subverted with downplayed styling. Think an oversized windbreaker (very SS26 Saint Laurent), or worn very ’90s (think Courtney Love era) over a pair of baggy jeans and a tee.

If a slinky, minuscule slips feel quite lingerie-fueled and sexy, try it with downplayed styling.

The dress trend is perfect for holidays when the mercury hits, as well as balmy bank holiday weekends (we’re manifesting), paired with a low-key shoe like a woven ballet flat or mule. If you want to dress up for nighttime, go for a low-denier tight and pointed-toe heels.

There are also many great options if vintage Dior is out of your price range. From Mango’s baby blue lace-trimmed piece to Hand Over’s It-girl sequin and animal print dream.
