Move over fuss-and-flares: the tube dress is staging a major comeback for Summer ’25. Power players from red-carpet premieres to VIP after-parties have shown how this strapless silhouette can steal every scene—whether drenched in punchy prints or sleek in neutral tones.
The tube dress channels ’90s/00s energy in sleek stretch fabrics and punchy hues. Amplify it with sculptural jewelry and sky-high platforms for serious drama, or slide in barefoot with wet-look hair for an off-duty beach vibe. It’s the one-piece that effortlessly shifts from poolside cool to city-chic.
Celebrity receipts have been nonstop
