Lace Dress

FW2026 pulled lace away from prettiness and into something moodier, sharper, and much more nocturnal. Dior’s fall runway and the season’s broader Paris mood both pointed toward romance with an edge. The new appeal of the lace dress: it is fragile in appearance, but potent in effect. Worn now, lace should feel less decorative than dangerously beautiful.
