While keeping up with TikTok trends is a full time job, there are some more obvious viral videos that are hard to miss – the mascara trend being one of them. But the 'For You' page – while often littered with fashion hauls – can sometimes highlight one particular item everyone is wearing right now. And this time, it's Mango's black dress everyone is coining the 'revenge dress'.
So what's so great about it? The corseted top satin maxi dress with thigh high lace-detail split, is a complete wow dress. And it just so happens to be from the new Mango premium edit we were telling you about: Selection.
And what exactly even is a revenge dress? It's a term associated with Princess Diana, who wore a form-fitting black dress – designed by Christina Stambolian – to attend the Vanity Fair party in 1994. And this just so happened to be on the same night her then-husband, the former Prince Charles, confessed to adultery on national television.
So what are the characteristics of a revenge dress? They're always black (as an ode to Diana's style), and they have to make you feel (and look) incredible, confident and powerful when you wear them. Basically it's such an amazing dress, the simple act or wearing it will be all the revenge needed for any exes, situationships or people from your past. So it's no surprise everyone has been seen showing off Mango's high street version on TikTok, for all to see!
