I was scrolling on Instagram over lunchtime and something stopped me in my tracks - this Marks & Spencer dress, that's what!
No offence to M&S but I honestly thought this dress was Reformation or Rixo or even Zara… but no, this is a £35 dress that you can buy right now at M&S. How fashion, darling!
The comments are telling, with one fan writing: "Loving your clothes at the mo. You are taking on Zara! Thank you!"
Another wrote: "Yup, I need this dress."
M&S described the 'Cotton Rich Ribbed Bandeau Midi Dress' as the ultimate dress for "understated elegance"
The bandeau-style piece is cut to a bodycon style from fabric with a flattering ribbed texture.
I also am quite into the bag she's clutching, which is the new Faux Leather Woven Shopper, £49.50 / $86.99.
If you're worried this dress might feel restrictive, don't! With added stretch you get comfort. And the easy midi length will be a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
One fan commented that they loved the dress, but wished they had the figure to wear it. This dress might not be for everyone, but I think it'll look fantastic if you're going on a summer holiday and want a dress to wow in. You could wear during the day with a pair of slides and a panama hat and a beach bag.
Alternatively you could wear it in the evening with dramatic gold earrings - I love this chunky pair from Mint Velvet.
When I first saw this dress I thought it looked very Meghan Markle. I was convinced it was a replica of a dress she's worn in the past - but it turns out it's very similar to the long-sleeved bandeau dress she wore to the Ripple of Hope Awards in New York back in December 2022.
