They say the best revenge is living well– but we think that dressing well is equally as good. Welcome to the world of the revenge dress, a show-stealing way to show your ex exactly what they’ve lost out on.
The term first became popular in the mid-90s as Princess Diana asserted her independence and was boosted in 1997 when Mariah Carey wore a two-piece revenge dress to the VMAs. Bella Hadid’s 2017 Met Gala outfits were called revenge outfits and Vanderpump Rules‘ Ariana Madix is the latest to enter the revenge dress conversation.
Today’s revenge dresses make statements about independence and reclaiming the narrative about a breakup. A good revenge dress will make you feel powerful, sexy, and confident. Take sweet revenge in one of these revenge dresses!
A keyhole neckline, open back, satin body-skimming silhouette in an electric hue? This revenge dress has it all.
Channel your inner diva by paying homage to Mariah’s two-piece revenge dress!
When you’re out at the club and freshly single, make a statement with sexy details like ruching and an asymmetrical hem.
Nothing says “I’m ready to be noticed” quite like a revenge dress in a bold shot of color.
Show off your curves with this dress’s open construction and bodysuit top, like Bella’s red carpet revenge outfit.
Lots of features come together to make a perfect revenge dress, like sexy cutouts, bodycon silhouettes, and an unforgettable hue.
A plunging neckline on a dress for a night out is another popular revenge dress feature.
While Diana’s most famous revenge dress was black, the Princess of Wales made an equally strong revenge statement with her white mini-dress.
A high hemline is perfect to show off your lovely legs. And if your cute mini has a sexy, off-the-shoulder neckline? Even better.
Bustier dresses add some structure to your dress, making you look even more polished and powerful.
