Strapless dresses are having a moment on and off the red carpet, here's exactly why you need one in your own capsule wardrobe...

From sheer dresses to the 'coastal cowgirl' aesthetic, the A-listers of the world have been making a strong case for several new spring fashion trends recently. And while we've already added Kendall Jenner's fave Adidas Samba sneakers to our wishlist, there's another dress style making waves.

Yes, it seems it's time to let your decolletage shine as everyone, from Madelyn Cline to Hailey Bieber is rocking a strapless dress. So, if you're looking to bare the shoulder this spring/summer, here's why you should consider a strapless number...

If you're looking for visuals on just how chic and downright sexy a simple, strapless dress can look, please turn your attention to Hailey Bieber's latest outfit...

The model and Rhode Beauty founder stepped out on Tuesday, March 9, 2023, wearing a mid-length, black strapless dress. Hailey paired the dress with black kitten heels and her signature gold earrings (Hailey Bieber's earrings are also a staple for both day and night accessorizing!).

The style also keeps cropping up on the red carpet, from Madelyn Cline rocking a black and silver strapless dress at the 2023 Met Gala to Florence Pugh, who opted for a monochromatic strapless dress, alongside her new, edgy buzzcut—this look is definitely going on our list of best Florence Pugh fashion moments.

Even Halle Bailey opted for a mermaid-core strapless look for The Little Mermaid premiere, which she paired with a baby blue frosted eyeshadow look. 

So, it's safe to say these naked-shoulder dresses are hot right now and surprisingly versatile. Whether you're in need of an elegant event look, or want a new faithful LBD with a twist, for a sophisticated evening look—we'd recommend complementing this piece with date-night perfumes.
