Some things are forever. The little black dress, a perfectly tailored trench coat, and apparently, the polka dot. While its popularity has ebbed and flowed through the decades - from the ‘50s pin-up to the ‘80s power suit - the playful print is now back once again with an audacious confidence, thanks to one very stylish It girl.
At the Venice Film Festival, a place known for its sartorial masterpieces, Kaia Gerber didn’t need a sweeping gown to steal the show. Instead, she offered a masterclass in simple dressing, proving once and for all that sometimes less really is more. Spotted (no pun intended) with actor Lewis Pullman, Kaia made a compelling case for the polka dot in a chic, yellow and brown halter top.
Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Lily James have been hinting at the trend all year, and Kaia is now delivering the final word. It’s a testament to her ‘90s-esque, effortless look - a style torch she’s clearly inherited from her mother, Cindy Crawford.
She’s famously a fan of mixing high and low fashion, often pairing designer pieces with high street finds like a Sézane dress or a Free People fleece. And here’s the best part: her exact halter top is still available. So, do you dare to wear the dot?
