Zendaya and Dua Lipa are without a doubt two of the biggest trend-setting A-listers of the moment, both in terms of jaw-dropping red carpet looks and casual off-duty looks. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to discover that they were ahead of the game when they sashayed onto the red carpet in totally en-vogue belly button cutout dresses earlier this year.
While the peekaboo trend is not new, dresses with a subtle or even dramatic cutout around the belly button provided a fresher way to rock the trend; and we are obsessed! Both the Euphoria actress and the “Levitating” singer have made us fall in love with belly button cutout dresses – check out their respective red carpet looks below to find out why…
Zendaya
All of Zendaya's Dune: Part Two premiere looks left fans completely speechless – and the white Stéphane Rolland Couture cutout dress she wore to the New York City premiere back in February is still living rent free in our minds.
The bold and intricate cutout detailing at the chest, hip, and thigh areas was one of the defining features of the dress, as were the 3D gold embellishments at the hem. It really was a show-stopping piece, made even more remarkable by the fact that the red carpet queen that is Zendaya was wearing it!
Dua Lipa
The "Houdini" singer seldom fails to make an impression on the red carpet; and she did just that when she attended the Time100 gala in NYC back in April. The singer was honored as one of Time100's Most Influential People of 2024, so she naturally wanted her red carpet outfit to stand out. Mission accomplished!
The "Dance the Night" hitmaker stunned in a custom silver Chanel gown made from intricate lace floral fabric, featuring a daring plunging neckline that cascaded to her abdomen. A chic black bow was positioned just above a subtle belly button cutout to draw even more attention to it while still keeping things classy. Dua Lipa and Chanel are a sartorial match made in heaven!
