Stars In Strapless Dresses: Photos

Stars In Strapless Dresses: Photos — Strapless dresses are a classic look, beloved by Hollywood and beyond. With so many colors, fabrics, and silhouettes, it’s almost impossible not to find a strapless dress look that works for you.

Strapless ensembles can strike a balance between sexy and demure, showing off just toned shoulders or going big with deep, plunging necklines. Their skirts can be bubbly and full, or sleek and refined. And whether you’re wearing silk, tulle, or even PVC, strapless dresses are sure to turn heads.

Celebrities know just how to style a strapless gown. Here, Zoe Kravitz poses near her poster during the world premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures, ‘The Batman’ at Lincoln Center in New York on Mar. 1, 2022. She looked simply dazzling in an Oscar De La Renta design with a cat-shaped bustline, a nod to her character Catwoman.
