How to Wear a Slip Dress Like Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, and More Stars

Rihanna is the queen of cool for a reason. Here, she took the sexy slip dress into athletic territory by wearing a mini style with a rugged baseball cap.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley proved the slip dress's glamorous power by opting for a tonal approach. Cream extras, like a fur and clutch, work well with the blush ground-grazing style.

Cool-girl extras, like an army green bomber jacket, black choker, John Lennon-esque shades, furry bag, and jacquard over-the-knee boots, give the slip dress some downtown edge. Take note, because Gigi Hadid is the coolest of the cool girls.

The slip was traditionally never meant to be seen (worn under clothes or in the bedroom). Play up the innerwear as outerwear trend by choosing an option with gorgeous lace detailing (see: Chloë Grace Moretz) and keep your accessories to a minimum.

Selena Gomez showed us you don't need a lot of accessories—simple diamond earrings and a ring are all you need—when you want your slip dress to make the statement. 

Slip dresses are usually cut from silk or satin, but Rihanna winterized the piece by sporting one in plush velvet. Don't be afraid of playing with texture.
