How to wear this summer's hottest crochet dresses without flashing everyone – no matter what size you are
When it comes to dressing for summer, crochet is always a fail safe. Usually made from natural fibres like cotton and wool, the open knit means it is more breathable and therefore more cooling. 8 However, whilst it is perfect for warmer weather, designs can often leave a lot of crochet see through. Which may suit the beach, but for an everyday summer look is not the one. Trying to find a non see through crochet dress can be tricky, especially when looking online as they may seem a good option until you see it in person and you can see more than you originally thought. But they are out there. And they're celebrity approved - actress Ellie Bamber stepped out in Cannes this week in a crochet dress, plus Michelle Keegan's latest range for Very has a lovely yellow non see through crochet dress. Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale shows you her top picks of crochet dresses that will leave you flash free... Michelle Keegan has been working with Very since 2017, producing countless edits for them throughout the year. Her latest range sees a plethora of summer looks, including this yellow crochet dress. Yellow can be a tricky colour to make not see through, however thanks to the clever lining underneath there will be no chance of mishaps when wearing this. 8 Whilst crochet is usually associated with more casual attire, it can also look great for more dressy occasions as seen here with this dress from River Island. Crochet is making a comeback this summer as the high-street offers plenty of alternative fresh takes on the trend The main part of the dress is lined underneath to keep you protected, before flowing out into a tassel detail at the bottom to add even more interest to the look. This midi dress from George at Asda is a steal at just £20. Perfect for the summer months, this would look lovely both on holiday and at home with a pair of flat sandals and a raffia bag. The dress has been crocheted tightly to not leave gaps so that you can't see anything underneath. Plus it's made partly from cotton so is still very breathable. If you're looking for a mini crochet dress then take a look at this one from Pretty Little Thing. A halterneck strap detailing, v-neckline and a ruffle hem makes this a really fun option for summer. Once again the crochet has been designed not to leave any gaps, so you don't have to worry about what to wear underneath. A perfect dress to pack for your holidays. Dress, £30, Very Another option from Very, this time from its core V by Very range, this dress is just £30. The pattern is very reminiscent of Italian design house Missoni with the striped detailing super flattering. Not only does the busy pattern make this harder to see through, but the crochet has been knitted closely. Cream is a tricky colour to wear at the best of times, especially when it comes to making sure you can't see anything underneath. So wearing something that is both cream and crochet may seem like a no go. However, this New Look dress available on Asos is knitted together so finely that it is possible - just make sure you still wear light colours underneath. It clearly comes with a visible slip dress in the middle which means the bit you don't want to be seen through is covered. It also means it's still very breathable and a great way of adding some crochet into your wardrobe. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.

Toni Garrn flashes her underwear in daring sheer dress as she joins glam Barbara Palvin and Ellie Bamber at the Fiuggi for One Drop party during Cannes Film Festival
Toni Garrn put on a daring display as she joined Barbara Palvin and Ellie Bamber in leading the arrivals at the Fiuggi for One Drop party in France on Tuesday. The superstars made sure to capture attention as they stormed the star-studded guest list for the fundraising event, which took place during Cannes Film Festival. Leading the arrivals, Toni, 32, put her incredible figure on display as she flashed her underwear in a completely sheer black dress. The German model added a few extra inches to her frame with a pair of pointed heels and she accessorised with a sparkling diamante bangle. She toted her essentials in a cream handbag and added to her stunning features with a high-glamour make-up palette. Toni was joined at the event by fellow supermodel Barbara, 31, who oozed sophistication in a unique white top and black trousers. Toni Garrn put on a daring display as she joined Barbara Palvin in leading the arrivals at the Fiuggi for One Drop party in France on Tuesday The Hungarian star, who is married to Dylan Sprouse, added to her frame with a pair of peep-toe heels and let her outfit do all the talking. Meanwhile, actress Ellie, 28, put on a very leggy display in a green mini dress with waterfall sleeves and a silver ring chain belt. She completed her ensemble with black pointed stilettos and accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings as she posed for the cameras. The Nocturnal Animals star, who is a regular on the fashion circuit, bolstered her natural beauty with a dewy make-up palette. Also in attendance were the likes of models Shanina Shaik, Rose Bertram and Leomie Anderson, among many others. The Fiuggi for One Drop event was held in support of the One Drop Foundation, raising vital funds to support access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene worldwide. The fundraising evening featured a DJ set by PAWSA and a show-stopping private performance by Cirque de Soleil, among other entertainment. Three levels of VIP packages for the festivities were priced from €15,000 to a staggering €50,000 for between eight and sixteen guests. The Nocturnal Animals star, who is a regular on the fashion circuit, bolstered her natural beauty with a dewy make-up palette Over recent years, Cannes has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency', have been implemented at this year's festival. According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles. Classic black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement. The model added to her height with a pair of slip-on heels and pulled out all the stops for the glitzy fundraiser Emma Thynn showed off her incredible figure in a sparkling cream sequinned gown with a plunging necklace Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions. Attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors). She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.

Jameela Jamil turned heads as she arrived at the Ray-Ban X A$AP Rocky after party in a skintight leather mini-dress. The English actress and activist was among the celebrities who stepped out for the star-studded party during the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on Monday. Jameela looked sensational as she arrived sporting a black blazer-style mini-dress, which featured patent leather fabric and gold buttons, with a pair of matching stilettos. She was joined at the event by actress Ellie Bamber, 28, who put on a striking display in a red mini-dress.

She kept her fair locks down in loose waves and sported a pair of black stilettos, as well as accessorising with a brown leather studded handbag. German model Toni Garrn also made an appearance, as she arrived in a ruched satin skintight mini dress, with shoulder pads and a boat neck.

Meanwhile Hungarian model Barbara Palvin put on a loved-up display with her husband, Disney Channel star Dylan Sprouse. Barbara oozed sophistication in a strapless off-white satin gown featuring a corset bodice and full skirt. Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford was also spotted at the event, as she arrived in a kimono-style white lace gown with a drop neck. A$AP Rocky's after party comes hours after his pregnant partner Rihanna showed off her blossoming baby bump as she supported him at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his new movie Highest 2 Lowest. She was joined at the event by actress Ellie Bamber, 28, who put on a striking display in a red mini-dress German model Toni Garrn also made an appearance, as she arrived in a ruched satin skintight mini dress, with shoulder pads and a boat neck The singer, 37, and the rapper, 36, revealed they were expecting their third child together at this year's Met Gala earlier this month. Rihanna - who already has sons RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with A$AP - looked happy and healthy as she made a typically late arrival to the red carpet. She looked great in a ruffled blue dress and strappy heels as her partner sweetly put her arms around her. They were hit by some bad weather in Cannes however as they walked some of the red carpet in the pouring rain. A$AP looked smart by her side as he showed off his sense of style in a black suit and shades. This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump's vow to enact tariffs on international films. Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end. Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories. The singer, 37, and the rapper, 36, revealed they were expecting their third child together at this year's Met Gala earlier this month 'You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,' says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who's returning to Cannes with 'The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil 's dictatorship. 'You've got to really prepare for the whole experience because it's quite intense - not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.' The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government controlled Venice Film Festival. In the time since, Cannes´ resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name. This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known.
