Kaia Gerber Just Shattered the "Polka-Dot Trend is Dead" Myth – Here’s Why You NEED to Care Now!
Who knew those charming little polka-dots—once just the darling print of our childhood memories and vintage Minnie Mouse vibes—would stage such a grand comeback in Summer 2025? It’s like the fashion gods decided to sprinkle a bit of nostalgic magic on the runways of heavy-hitters like Maison Margiela and Sandy Liang, while our beloved celebs, from Bella Hadid to Olivia Rodrigo, made these spots their red carpet statement. Polka-dots transformed from sweet innocence to a versatile trend bridging the ultra-feminine and dark grunge worlds. Even Queen Letizia and Kate Middleton jumped on the dotted bandwagon! But now, as the leaves turn, so do the patterns—and polka-dots are quietly stepping aside for plaids. Feeling a twinge of separation anxiety from your spotted favorites? Trust me, you’re not the only one—Kaia Gerber’s right there feeling it, too. Ready to reminisce and maybe hold on to just a little bit more summer?
One of the biggest trends of Summer 2025, polka-dots had the resurgence of a lifetime this year. What was once a sweet, nostalgic print reminiscent of the ’50s, Minnie Mouse, and our own childhood wardrobes, exploded onto the runways of Maison Margiela and Sandy Liang alike, and made its way into the closets of stars such as Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Irina Shayk, and Olivia Rodrigo. The simple spots became a starting point for endless creativity, and the result was a trend that spanned all styles and aesthetics, from the ultra-feminine to dark grunge. Even royalty (Queen Letizia of Spain and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales) put their own spin on the style.
But as summer fades into autumn, polka-dots have started to turn into plaids, disappearing from red carpets and street style slowly but surely. And if you’re sad to part ways from your spotted pieces, you’re not alone. Kaia Gerber is right there with you.
In Venice with her boyfriend Lewis Pullman for the premiere of his forthcoming film, The Testament of Ann Lee, Gerber stepped out in Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunglasses and a yellow polka dot halter courtesy of With Jean. Designed with a wrap around tie closure, plunging neckline, and open back, it was just the reminder we needed that summer isn’t quite over yet.
Later, Gerber made a red carpet appearance alongside Pullman in a lacy Givenchy number, fit with a sheer bodice and ultra-layered tulle skirt. A high square neckline gave the gown an old Hollywood feel, which the model and actress leaned into with her curly locks and timeless black heels.
