6 Ways to Wear the Draped Dress This Season
Dresses were the prevailing category on the spring/summer 2025 runways. And it makes sense—it's an effortless yet effective item of clothing that can be worn for daytime or throughout the night, at work, and for play. For those who gravitate toward the more dramatic one-and-done styles, the draped dress is the silhouette to embrace this season.
Vogue's Favorite Draped Dresses:
There was Mattieu Blazy at Bottega Veneta with his bright orange, cascading ruffled jersey dress, and then Stella McCartney with her frothy, lavender-blue option, featuring a cape! At first glance, these styles can appear more fanciful than everyday, but there's a way to combine the runway and the routine. The chicest draped dress outfits bridge the gap between fanciful and casual, offering an artful twist on an otherwise easy wardrobe staple.
There's a one-shouldered asymmetric option from Abadia that can be paired with cotton tote bags and mesh flats. Slip into a floral midi from Victoria Beckham, then add pearl earrings and strappy suede sandals for summer date nights. Go the off-duty model route, and style a draped white mini dress with clogs and a woven basket bag—an ensemble we feel Bella Hadid would approve of.
Those are just some of the options to play with. Ahead, find six draped dress outfits to carry you through this season and the next.
With Mesh Flats and a Cotton Tote
Abadia's black dress is cut into a one-shoulder asymmetric shape, making it require little else, besides fishnet mules and a big cotton tote bag, to complete the look.
With Pearl Earrings and Chocolate Brown Accessories
The perfect base? A floral-print, floor-sweeping dress. Go high and low by pairing it with pearl, dangling earrings, Everlane's strappy sandals, and a leather and woven raffia top-handle bag from Neous.
With a Braided Bag and Flip-Flops
A bohemian-inspired maxidress from Zara and minimalist flip-flops strike the perfect balance between put-together and effortless ease.
With Macramé Details and Sporty Sneakers
Toteme's T-shirt dress is the item of the summer, if you were to ask us here at Vogue. Add an element of interest with a crafty macramé tote, then ground the look with a trending cord pendant and classic white sneakers for practical polish.
With Ballet Flats and an Oversized Tote Bag
Róhe's cobalt blue dress is vivid enough to be a statement-maker on its own. Keep the accessories pared-back with Khaite's classic soft ballerina flats and The Row's work-appropriate tote.
With Clogs and a Braided Bag
Jane Wade's draped, asymmetric white dress offers an edgier, cool-girl take on the dress style. A woven shopper and wooden clogs give it a Euro summer feel.

PSG manager Luis Enrique hopes to celebrate Champions League win in memory of daughter
Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique and his family suffered the ultimate heartbreak in 2019, when their nine-year-old daughter Xana died after a battle with cancer. It was a tragedy that rocked the entire soccer community and one which stays front and center in the 55-year-old's thoughts today. For Enrique, who took a short break from the sport five years ago, it also serves as inspiration which he hopes will help his PSG side claim its first Champions League trophy against Inter Milan on Saturday. Enrique has already won the Champions League as a manager, when he guided Barcelona to the trophy back in 2015. In those post-match celebrations, Enrique celebrated with his daughter on the pitch and there is one particular memory he would like to recreate this weekend. 'My daughter loved parties and I'm sure where she is, she's still having parties,' Enrique told reporters earlier this year. 'And I remember an incredible photo I have of her in the Champions League final in Berlin, after winning the Champions League, putting the flag of FC Barcelona in the pitch. I have the wish to be able to do the same with Paris Saint-Germain. 'My daughter won't be there, but she will be… she won't be there physically, but she will be spiritually and that, for me, is very important.' The family tragedy five years ago happened when Enrique was manager of Spain. In June 2019, he stepped away from the role to spend more time with his family. In August that year, he announced that Xana had died. 'You'll be the star that guides our family,' he said in a statement at the time. In November 2019, Enrique returned to his role as manager of La Roja and guided his team to the semifinals of Euro 2020. He then resigned from his position after a disappointing showing at the Qatar World Cup in 2022, where Spain was knocked out of the Last 16. Prior to his stint as the national team manager, Enrique enjoyed huge success as head coach of the Blaugrana, winning the La Liga title, domestic cup and Champions League in 2015 – otherwise known as a European treble. His coaching career followed an impressive spell as a player – the Spaniard played for the likes of Real Madrid and Barça, as well as earning 62 caps for the national team. He won three La Liga titles during his playing days and an Olympic gold medal for Spain at the 1992 Games. Given his pedigree as both a player and manager, it was perhaps no surprise when PSG, one of Europe's biggest clubs, announced him as its new head coach in 2023. He hit the ground running, winning the domestic treble in his first season and guiding the French side to the Champions League semifinals, falling to German club Borussia Dortmund in a shock result. This season, he has had to rework the entire team following the departure of French superstar Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid but, testament to his tactical nous, his young squad now looks like arguably the best team in Europe. After clinching both the league and two domestic cups so far this season, Enrique needs the Champions League title to become just the second manager in history to win two European trebles with two different teams. Pep Guardiola is the only manager to do so currently, with Barça in 2009 and Manchester City in 2023. But through all his recent success, it's the memory of the time spent with his daughter which shines the brightest. In a recent Movistar+ documentary, Enrique said he felt like he was a 'very lucky' man, despite the heartbreak his family has suffered. It means when he stands on the touchline in Saturday's Champions League final, Enrique won't be alone. 'My daughter came to spend nine marvelous years with us. We have a thousand memories of her, videos, incredible things,' he said. 'Xana is alive. In the physical plane, she's not here, but in the spiritual one, she's here because every day we talk about her, we laugh, and we remember. 'I believe that Xana still watches us.'

Liver Disease Common in Kids and Teens With Severe Obesity
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was more prevalent in children and adolescents with severe obesity, with these patients showing more pronounced insulin resistance and a higher number of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components. METHODOLOGY: Researchers evaluated the prevalence of MAFLD in 212 children and adolescents with severe obesity (mean age, 13.2 years; 53.8% girls) recruited from four medical centres in Poland from May 2022 to September 2023. Severe obesity was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) > 30 for individuals aged 3-6 years, > 35 for individuals aged 6-14 years, and > 40 for individuals older than 14 years. All patients underwent abdominal ultrasonography, physical examination, body composition analysis, and biochemical assessment. MAFLD was diagnosed on the basis of liver steatosis detected by ultrasonography and/or persistently elevated alanine aminotransferase concentrations (> 52 U/L for boys and > 44 U/L for girls). MetS was confirmed using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria for children aged 10 years or older and modified IDF criteria for those younger than 10 years. The association of hepatosteatosis with anthropometric profiles and metabolic risk factors was also assessed. TAKEAWAY: MAFLD was present in 59.0% of patients, with sonographic assessment of hepatosteatosis in 55.4% of patients and elevated alanine aminotransferase concentrations without liver steatosis in 3.3% of patients. MetS was diagnosed in 66.5% of patients with MAFLD vs 57.5% of patients without MAFLD, with a significantly higher proportion of patients with MAFLD having four or more MetS components (33.6% vs 12.6%; P = .0004). = .0004). Patients with MAFLD had higher glucose and insulin levels both at fasting and 120 minutes during the oral glucose tolerance test. Increased insulin resistance was noted more frequently in patients with MAFLD than in those without MAFLD (16.5% vs 6.5%; P = .04). = .04). A ratio of alanine aminotransferase to aspartate aminotransferase > 1.5 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 19.79; P = .018) and a fasting glucose level > 100 mg/dL (aOR, 44.53; P = .009) were independently associated with MAFLD. IN PRACTICE: "MAFLD is a predictor of developing MetS and an increased risk of its components, especially glucose metabolism disorders. Therefore, patients diagnosed with MAFLD should be under special medical supervision for the detection and prevention of metabolic complications," the authors wrote. SOURCE: This study was led by Magdalena Mierzwa, Medical University of Silesia, Zabrze, Poland. It was published online on May 20, 2025, in the Journal of Clinical Medicine . LIMITATIONS: Ultrasound-based steatosis assessments varied by centre, potentially leading to discrepancies due to subjective assessment. This cross-sectional study involved only children and adolescents with severe obesity, thereby limiting generalizability. DISCLOSURES: This study was supported by the National Science Center, Poland. One author reported being employed by Mediagnost GmbH.
