Bandage dress 2.0: fresh ways to rock this stylish classic
October 01, 2025
|The Mercury
FOR those familiar with fashion from the 2000s and early 2010s, you will remember the iconic bandage dress.

This ultra-tight, body-con garment not only dominated the local style scene of the time, but it was also rocked by A-list celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Eva Longoria, Paris Hilton and Beyoncé, while also being prominently featured on top designers’ runways.
Revolutionised by French fashion house Hervé Léger, I had several versions of the dress in different colours, fabrics and lengths.
It made me feel sculpted, pulled-together and glamorous. The bandage dress also looks like shapewear disguised as a dress. It hugged every curve and created an instant hourglass silhouette.
