If there's one thing that summer 2025 has taught us so far, it's that bombastic in-your-face ensembles are top of the sartorial pyramid as the mercury rises.
Enter supermodel Elsa Hosk, the perennial muse of effortless glamour who took to Instagram sporting the most gorgeous vintage dress we've ever clapped eyes on and we can't wait to recreate the look.
The dress in question isn't just any old thing, it's an archival Gucci piece, from 1996 - once worn on the catwalk by iconic supermodel Linda Evangelista. This is fashion history.

Micro-shorts have been doing the rounds for a little while now and count Kylie Jenner and Millie Bobby Brown as fans. But for those who aren't brave enough to step out in the teeniest of hotpants - popping a pair under a sheer mini dress nods to the trend without leaving you baring all.

Perfect festival fare for the summer ahead, or for sitting in a beer garden sipping on an Aperol spritz. Hats off, Elsa.
