There are only a few dresses so famous that almost every woman in the world can immediately picture it when it is mentioned, and one of these is the dress that Julia Roberts is wearing when we first see her in Pretty Woman.
The stretchy blue-and-white design with cut-out detail was designed by Hunza G – and is now being reissued by the label, just in time for a post-lockdown summer.
“After such a depressing year of being locked away in leisurewear, it felt like the world needed something fun, comfortable, inclusive, nostalgic and empowering – and that’s exactly what this dress is,” Georgiana Huddart, creative director and the founder of the relaunched Hunza G, told us of why now was the perfect time to bring back the iconic frock.
The blue-and-white dress is almost identical to the original, featuring the same cut-outs at the side and the silver hoop detailing, while the style also comes in a number of other colourways and in block colours without the cut-outs.
As with all Hunza G products, there is a one-size-fits-all policy with the material stretching to fit whichever body is wearing it, making the perfect snug fit for whoever slips it on.
“It looks just as good on a size 16 woman as a size eight, and I hope people feel really amazing in it,” Huddart adds.
Of course, it was originally teamed with a pair of thigh-high leather boots and an oversized shirt, but, as Huddart explains, the stretchy frock is a versatile piece that can be relied on for holidays, festivals or even dressed up for a night out.
“Personally, I would wear it with a pair of Converse and a white men’s shirt over the top. It can be an ‘out out’ dress or just a casual dress, a beach dress, a festival dress – you can make it what you want, which is part of what’s so great about it.”
Although it is undoubtedly a daring look, there could be no better time to embrace some fun in fashion than right now. Shop Hunza G's dresses here – and see our edit of the label's new-season swimwear below.
