Judging by certain celebs’ Instagrams, no one is too excited that summer is over and we’re full-on into the fall season. And while the summer of 2021 could be summed up in the word “bikinis,” it could also be “cut-outs.” And when we saw the gold cut-out dress Olivia Culpo just shared on Instagram, we were instantly transported back to peak summer.
Olivia Culpo isn’t afraid to try an out-there trend—from the upside-down bikini trend, floss trend, to the shortest mini skirts EVER. The 29-year-old beauty isn’t afraid of showing A LOT of skin, and this gold cut-out dress is just the perfect amount of it!

Captioned: “Fav dress of summer appreciation post” Olivia shared this stunning snap on October 10th, with her 4.9m followers hitting the like button over 133k times. And we can totally see why! Olivia’s gorgeous gold Cult Gaia ‘Serita’ knit dress is the epitome of hot girl summer vibes, and it seems that Olivia is having some summer nostalgia. And TBH, we don’t blame her—she had one hot girl summer look after another, including an incredible red bikini moment in Greece.
We’re obsessed with everything about this dress and the cut-outs are perfection. But don’t despair—just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean you have to hide the cut-outs in the back of your closet.

During New York Fashion Week, the cut-out trend that reigned supreme was cut-out long dresses—with long sleeves. Celebs like Kate Hudson and Katie Holmes wore stunning black cut-out dresses that proved there’s a way to keep the cut-out trend going into fall.
Plus, there’s always the option to layer—like Bella Hadid did with her perfect cut-out crop top and suit look. Or Dua Lipa’s cut-out bodysuit.
