It's probably not news to you that Nobody's Child dresses are enjoying a moment in the sun (quite literally). From Sienna Miller, Holly Willoughby and Louise Thompson - to everyone here at Grazia HQ - the British brand's dresses are a common sighting among fashion's best-dressed every spring, and 2025 is no different. With the polka dot Felicity dress already creating a buzz this year, we took a closer look at the brand’s top-selling styles - and found one that truly stands out.

The dress in question is the brand's best-selling Starlight midi which usually clocks in at £89 but is currently on sale. Given a breezy air thanks to its organic cotton construction, short puff sleeves and A-line skirt, the dress is made trendy and cheerful via its carousel of prints and shades, whilst its cinched panelled waist and V-neck render it extremely flattering and versatile. This season, the fashion set has been wearing the black gingham iteration, a lightly textured design that feels bold yet timeless.

Gingham has emerged as a stand-out trend this spring, and Nobody's Child's take on the trend is elegant and grown-up. With a fitted bodice and flared skirt, this midi is ideal for both casual days and spring events from garden parties to date nights.

I could wax lyrical about how the dress fits wonderfully on just about everyone (including my petite size 18 self), but the true beauty of this dress lies in it's ability to take the stress out of spring dressing. The ultimate throw-on-and-go dress, you can wear it with everything from trainers and loafers to strappy sandals and boots (for autumn). Worn with statement jewellery for an evening soiree or a denim jacket and crossbody bag for a day in the city, the pretty Starlight midi makes for a dress that looks and feels like it costs much more than its £62 price tag.

While dresses don't usually make the cut for capsule wardrobe essentials, this influencer-favourite boasts the kind of wearability that just can't be beat. From classic shades in regular and petite lengths to bold, statement styles, there's an array of versions to pick from, and we'd highly recommend investing in a few to round out your spring wardrobe for seasons to come.

No longer relegated to the festive period, red dresses are a surprisingly appropriate spring staple. Style this striking dress with matching red ballerinas and lashings of gold jewellery for a striking look.

Summer whites are a non-negotiable essential. Case in point, this classic textured midi that'll take you from the office to more elegant events with ease.

Despite the busy floral print, this vintage-inspired style has emerged as a popular holiday dress with influencers. Whether you're headed to the South of France this summer or spending a long weekend in Cornwall, style this midi with strappy sandals or ballet flats for the perfect breezy look.

Butter yellow is well and good, but a chocolate brown dress is always a classic and this midi even comes with pockets. Style with oodles of suede accessories including M&S' popular loafers for a trend-forward look.

If it's a spring classic you're on the hunt for, you can't go wrong with ditsy florals. Style the dainty dress with kitten heels for a feminine look or contrast it with chunky trainers or cowboy boots for a GenZ-approved cool girl look.

If it's good enough for Louise Thompson, it's good enough for us. The linen-blend plum iteration has been consistently selling out quickly after every restock so we recommend snagging one the minute it's available in your size.

Leaning into spring's mandated bright colour palette, this green midi makes for a great throw-on and go outfit that'll be your best friend for everything from weekend brunches to summer holidays.
