The Cult Dress Brand Celebs Can't Get Enough Of

by Emma Spedding

It's clear to see, 2019 has been another major year for dresses. After last year's succession of It dresses, we've seeing new cult favourites rise to the top. While there has been plenty of contenders for the top spot, it's the Vampire's Wife that remains the choice dress outfitter when it comes to celebs. Seen everywhere from across Instagram to award-season after-parties, we predict this dress will continue its reign as the favourite dress in 2020.

The brand first began gaining momentum back in 2017 when the likes of Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, as well as a legion of high-profile influencers, all wore the brand's Festival dress on repeat. Owing to its universally flattering shape—a simple round neck, nipped-in waist, midi-length skirt and elbow-length sleeves adorned with frilly cuffs—it's little wonder it became an It-girl favourite.

Fast-forward to 2019 and the Vampire's Wife's star continued to rise. Then, at the Royal wedding, it went supernova. Not one, not two but three of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's guests opted for the brand's frocks, putting them firmly in the global spotlight.

The Vampire's Wife's illustrious fan club keeps growing by the day: Amber Heard, Busy Phillips, Chloë Grace Moretz, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Aniston (the latest A-lister to wear one of its fabulous creations) all love the brand.
