Metro Luxe & Less: Shapewear Dress

<div><em>Welcome to the latest installment of <a href="https://metro.style/fashion" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Metro.Style</a>&#x27;s shopping edit: <strong>Metro Luxe &amp; Less</strong>, a weekly series that pairs luxury fashion with its more accessible counterparts, showing you how to achieve the same look and feel across varying price points. <br/></em></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:905px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955424394BANNER.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">The shapewear dresses that are conquering everyone&#x27;s wardrobe</span></span></span></div><p>This week, we’re zeroing in on a silhouette that’s taken over red carpets, dinner dates, and even off-duty model wardrobes: the <strong>shapewear dress</strong>. Designed to sculpt, smooth, and accentuate, it’s the understated powerhouse garment that has become the hottest item in contemporary fashion.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Rise of the Shapewear Dress</strong></div><div><br/></div><p>Once confined to the realm of hidden support garments, shapewear has broken out of the background and claimed its rightful place center stage. The shapewear dress isn’t just about function—it’s about power. Form-fitting but never constricting, it champions curves with unapologetic confidence. Its resurgence reflects a larger cultural pivot towards body positivity and a redefinition of sensuality, one rooted in confidence rather than compromise. Today’s shapewear dress doesn’t hide the body; it celebrates it—with clean lines, supportive construction, and the kind of sleek elegance that makes it impossible to resist.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955487857GLOBAL CELEB.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Kim Kardashian in Skims and Hailey Bieber in Wolford </span></span></span></div><div><strong>Celebrities Who Are Shaping the Narrative</strong></div><div><br/></div><p>The trend has found fans in A-list style setters, elevating its status from trend to wardrobe essential. Kim Kardashian—arguably the godmother of modern shapewear—has been seen in versions that toe the line between lingerie and high fashion. Kylie Verzosa, known for her chic sartorial instincts and introducing shapewear in the country with Sola Body, brings a sensual polish to the look in a figure-hugging silhouette that emphasized her lithe frame. Hailey Bieber, the queen of cool minimalism, has embraced the shapewear dress as a go-to for both events and edgy street style, pairing it with oversized blazers or sleek heels to reflect her downtown aesthetic.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:905px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955528338LOCAL CELEB.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Kylie Verzosa for the launch of Sola Body&#x27;s sculpting shapewear dresses</span></span></span></div><div><a href="https://www.wolford.com/en-us/fatal-dress-50795.7005.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Luxe Pick: Wolford Strap Fatal Dress</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:905px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955582538LUXE PICK.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Wolford Fatal Dress | P15,000</span></span></span></div><p>For those who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship and tactile luxury, the Wolford Strap Fatal Dress is a masterclass in understated glamour. Made from circular knit velvet, this piece offers a sculpting, second-skin fit that feels as indulgent as it looks. The straight neckline subtly frames the shoulders, while the pencil-cut silhouette is both modern and timeless. A discreet back slit adds movement and a whisper of allure. The removable, adjustable straps add an element of versatility—making it just as compelling worn strapless for cocktails as it is styled under a blazer for an elevated daytime look.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://sola.com.ph/products/sculpting-strapless-shapewear-maxi-dress?variant=42538893344886" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Smart Find: Sola Body Sculpting Strapless Shapewear Maxi Dress</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:905px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760955657119LESS PICK.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Sola Body Sculpting Strapless Shapewear Dress | P2,985</span></span></span></div><p>For those seeking the same silhouette and impact at a more accessible price point, look no further than the Sola Body Sculpting Strapless Shapewear Maxi Dress. Crafted from a blend of cotton-modal and spandex, this dress is breathable yet structured, offering a smoothing effect that doesn&#x27;t sacrifice comfort. Like its luxury twin, it features a sleek pencil cut with a back slit and a minimalist straight neckline that highlights the collarbones and shoulders. Adjustable and removable straps allow for multiple styling options, making it the ultimate wardrobe chameleon—from brunch-ready to date-night siren.</p><div><br/></div><p>The Sola Body Shapewear Dress might be an even better option because it comes with a built-in mid-thigh shapewear bodysuit. Oh she&#x27;s going to cinch you well!</p><div><br/></div><p>As shapewear continues its evolution from underlayer to statement piece, dresses like these help you stay confident for days. Whether you&#x27;re reaching for the high-end velvet touch of Wolford or the accessible sculpting of Sola Body, the message is clear: in the era of the shapewear dress, confidence is the most important thing you can wear.</p>
