Fashion’s obsession with the 1990s is showing no sign of letting up. Case in point: the ubiquity of the slip dress, which was championed by the likes of Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Campbell back in the day. Nowadays, Katie Holmes, Kaia Gerber, and Moss’s daughter, Lila, are all fans, proving why the piece is a must-have for those wanting to cultivate a sense of effortless style.

Indeed, some stars are now taking the throwback look one step further, by borrowing a simple ’90s styling trick: wearing the slip dress over a basic T-shirt. The popular layering technique was seen on the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Cher Horowitz in Clueless.

Fast forward to 2024, and Zoë Kravitz is making the case for the return of the trend. At the launch of Margot Robbie and Andrew Mukamal’s Barbie: The World Tour book, the actor wore a black lace slip dress over a black T-shirt, which she paired with black leather pumps, all by The Row. Meanwhile, on the Balenciaga fall 2024 catwalk, a model also sported a monochromatic take on the trend, wearing a red lace slip dress over matching layered tees.
