The Red Lace Dress
The red lace dress has been a favourite amongst celebrities, stylists and models. The subject of this trend is a 3/4 or long sleeved dress, with round neck and hemline above the knee. The vintage-inspired red lace dress has a babydoll shape, whereas the modern version is more fitted. The colour ranges from coral to scarlet to deep burgundy.
Celebrities that are on board with the red lace dress trend.

Britain's newest style icon, Pippa Middleton wears a long-sleeved version of the dress, also by French Connection.
