This '90s Spaghetti Strap Slip Dress Is the "It" Party Look for 2023

Katie Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow are slipping back into '90s-era slip dresses.

At the height of '90s minimalism, the slip dress reigned supreme. The simple dress was a mainstay on red carpets, proms and spring flings.

Slip dresses offered a more grown-up night-out look than frilly ball gowns that, at times, felt best left to Disney parades and parties. Like so many 1990s styles (welcome back, straight-leg jeans), the slip dress has re-emerged.

Katie Holmes turned heads in a $2,900 Khaite LBD (long black dress) with an asymmetrical hem to celebrate Bvlgari's 50th-anniversary bash last fall. Amanda Kloots rocked a midi-length black slip dress with a lace bodice underneath a leather jacket at a charity event for On Our Sleeves, The National Movement for Children's Mental Health. And Gwyneth Paltrow, who loved the look in the 1990s, put a grunge-style twist on the slip dress by rocking chunky commando boots at the G. Label by Goop holiday party.

With Valentine's Day date nights on the horizon and summer kick-offs not as far off as you might think, it's time to resurrect the seasonless slip dress.
