Some things will never change, and one of those things is that celebrities wear dresses a lot. The types of dresses they wear tend to change from year to year. Since they have access to a bevy of designer pieces and stylists on speed dial, celebs are early adopters of dress trends and often dictate which will take off. That said, trends come and go, and celebrities are often the first to stop wearing certain styles in favor of fresher ones. The specific trend I've noticed has fallen by the wayside is voluminous puff-sleeve dresses. The reason could be that the trend was so popular a few years ago that it peaked quickly, and people got tired of seeing it everywhere. As with many things in fashion, however, I'm sure it'll make a comeback.
On the flip side, there are five specific dress trends that I've noticed dress-loving celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Olivia Rodrigo are wearing on repeat in recent months—both on and off duty. If you trust celebrities when it comes to trends, these popular dresses are surefire bets for looking on-trend this season and for the foreseeable future, so I found some of the best styles for each trend to shop. Keep scrolling to get them while they're hot and still in stock.
Bubble Dresses
The bubble-hem trend is still going strong, and celebs are strong supporters of the fun '80s-inspired look. Mini-length dresses are the most popular bubble style, which Hadid recently embraced for a night out in L.A.

Polka-Dot Dresses
I don't know what it is about polka-dot dresses, but celebrities love them. Well, I do know what it is: They're classic and a bit whimsical, and they have a retro feel that celebs like Rodrigo adore.

Off-the-Shoulder Dresses
To the delight of many, off-the-shoulder dresses are back. The flattering style goes in and out of trend status, and for 2025, it's definitely in. Sabrina Carpenter recently wore a fun party-appropriate take on the trend, but there are also plenty of elegant off-shoulder dresses on the market.

After a lengthy hiatus, body-con dresses are back, and celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski have been wearing them out at night on repeat. The most popular way to style them is with a long coat and pumps.

Grecian One-Shoulder Dresses
Back in the fall of 2023, we reported that draped, Greek statue–inspired dresses were gaining steam, and well, the steam is still hot. The most popular of the Grecian silhouettes is a drapey one-shoulder dress like the one Daisy Edgar-Jones recently donned.
