Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Made The 'Suspenders Dress' A Thing At PFW
You didn’t ask, but I’m going to let you in on my £12 style hack, regardless: M&S Autograph 10 Denier Ladder Resist Matt Hold-Ups. That’s £12 for two pairs by the way, so £6 a pair, or £3 a leg: instant va-va-voom for less than a cappuccino per pin. Sexy, a bit retro, and the flash of lace at the thigh – with a slither of a mini or a slit on a pencil skirt – hold-ups and stockings the slightly more polite way to do naked-ish dressing than exiting the baring thong or nipple.

A celebrity who is on the same page? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – and not just because of our shared affinity for M&S smalls. Attending Anthony Vaccarello’s knockout SS25 Saint Laurent show – a louche, confident celebration of Left Bank style – the model wore a lustrous, hot chocolate satin mini dress with suspenders and stockings fully on show.
Now, obviously, we don’t all have the RHW legs/budget/bravery… But it’s worth a try. Naked dressing without much nakedness? Consider it your party season kick-off.
Should you find you’re still unsure, there are plenty of other ideas for party season from the Saint Laurent FROW. Good news for exhibitionists: the nipple is still very much freed. See Zoë Kravitz, Amelia Gray, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu.
But boob-baring isn’t a necessity. Other ideas worth replicating? Barely-there bodysuits and itsy bitsy lingerie slips worn with gargantuan (faux!) furs, as seen on Longlegs star Maika Monroe and Blackpink’s Rosé who wore hers nonchalantly tumbling off one shoulder.
Or why not layer up the chunky bangles à la Kate Moss, chuck a trench over a satin slip like ELLE UK contributing editor Camille Charrière, or take tailoring for a spin like Gwyneth Paltrow.
Perhaps most shockingly of all, however, was a piece seen on 'Super' Linda Evangelista. She wore a black hoodie tucked beneath her leather coat, proving that comfort and glamour can happily co-exist. Rebellious and radical in its own way and proof that the real key to mastering the Saint Laurent look is all about swagger and confidence.
