This Viral £50 Zara Dress Now Comes In Another Colour – And It Has Everyone In a Chokehold

For me, it’s rare when a particular item makes me unhappy until I get my hands on it. But this brown Zara lace-detail satin mini dress had me refreshing my app countless times over the space of 48 hours. All to see if it would come back in stock in time for me to order it for Wireless festival a few weeks back. Turns out, it didn’t, and this led to my boyfriend being sent out on a mission to find said Zara dress in any store he could around central London.

The result? He found the last one in one of Oxford Street’s stores, and of course gained instant boyfriend points for retrieving the goods. And the thing is, I didn’t even realise the black version of this chocolatey winner had already gone viral (similar to this Dissh dress I've already told you about). But since searching for ‘Zara lace dress’ on repeat, it seems the algorithm really picked up on my desperation for this dress, and since then, it's been all over my TikTok.

Here I am at the festival wearing the Zara dress, sans bra (it’s a bit tricky to wear one with the skinny spaghetti straps and lace front detailing), and I loved the way it looked withflat knee-high boots –something I’ve also been raving about as the outfit to wear when it’s hot, but could rain. With lace detailing being a mini trend – being spotted on everything from shorts to tops this season – I'm not surprised this dress with its interesting, expensive-looking cut is a key item. Especially when it's only £49.99, too.

After having a quick search, I also discovered that the sell-out black version is currently selling for £105 on eBay, so I've linked this below in case as you feel the urge to get it, like I did. I also recommend having a look on Vinted.

I really like how @andi.stylist has styled her black version over a pair of wide-leg trousers – something I'll definitely be copying to transform mine into a top.

If you're happy to get the similar vibe of the viral black Zara dress, without going on a hunt for it, Zara have also just dropped this halter neck version that has the same asymmetric detail and lace placement. And I appreciate how the higher neckline will make it easier when it comes to the bra situation, too.

If a mini dress isn't your thing, or you just prefer wearing separates, then you'll want to know about the new top version, too. Already being spotted all over social, it has the same look of the viral dress, but just shorter, so it's easier to style as a 'nice top and jeans' look, with linen Bermuda shorts or even over a lace maxi skirt for holiday. In black (like that dress), pastel blue or butter yellow, if these sell-out as quick as I think they will, my boyfriend better get his running trainers on to go on another Zara hunt to find them!
