19 dresses for an iconic moment

You've heard about clothes making the man, well a dress makes the moment. Get inspired by these 4 iconic dresses to put some oomph in your daily life.


Beyoncé's Lemonade dress

Ugh, who hasn't fantasized about taking a baseball bat and destroying a cheating ex-lover's car window? Just us? Well, if Beyoncé taught us anything with her Lemonade video, then it is that doing so is perfectly acceptable, provided you're wearing the right dress. And if car bashing seems a little much, we propose washing his favorite shirts with bleach. Worked for us.

Even if you're not in a vengeful kind of mood, an ocher, raspberry or tan maxi boho dress really puts you in a great mood.

Sharon Stone's 'reveal all' dress in 'Basic Instinct'

If you have never pressed 'pause' in this 1992 Paul Verhoeven movie classic, to spot whether or not Sharon Stone is wearing underwear in the interrogation scene, spoiler alert: she's not. This film was the actor's big break and although controversial for the time, a beacon for LGBTQ empowerment.

Opt for a classy white or pastel blue dress to show off confidence. Pro tip: if you're wearing it to work, do wear underwear.

J-Lo's 'Break the Internet' dress

It's the dress that kickstarted the Google Images search application. At the 2000 Grammys, Jennifer Lopez went viral, before 'going viral' was even a thing. Her sheer Versace dress with jungle print and deep cleavage truly was the star of the evening. Funny thing: she only picked out the iconic gown the day of the award show and didn't really think that much of it.

We're all for plunging necklines, but the true star of this season is a great tropical or safari print. Let your inner J-Lo shine, you don't even have to show your navel.

Princess Di's revenge dress

Diana, Princess of Wales, wore her off the shoulder black silk 'revenge dress' at a 1994 dinner, the same night of the televised admission of adultery by her husband Charles, Prince of Wales. She had owned the dress for three years before, but never had dared to wear it, because she feared it was too revealing. Well not for that night!

Get yourself a tight fitting revenge dress in a bright color or pastel for spring. Revenge for what, you ask? For staying inside for two years of course! Show off those curves and get the party started.
