Supermodel Gigi Hadid made headlines during the Vetements Spring-Summer 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, wearing an outfit that left fashion enthusiasts talking. The standout piece? A body-hugging mini dress seemingly made entirely from DHL packing tape. Matched with heels also wrapped in the same yellow and red tape, Hadid’s bold look was both unconventional and striking.
The dress, a strapless mini, was designed to give the illusion of being composed entirely of the iconic shipping tape used for everyday package deliveries. However, there’s likely a fabric lining inside the dress for comfort, though that remained a topic of speculation among the audience. Her accessories were minimal, allowing the outfit to take center stage, with Hadid sporting loose waves and simple makeup to complement the edgy look.
A Play on Unconventional Materials
Vetements’ show featured a series of garments made from unusual materials. Alongside Hadid’s DHL dress, the collection showcased dresses constructed from newspapers and other everyday items. This isn’t the first time the brand has explored tape-inspired fashion; Vetements co-founder and Balenciaga creative director Demna has incorporated similar looks in the past, including a tape bodysuit worn by Kim Kardashian in 2022.
A Bold Fashion Statement
Hadid’s appearance is the latest in a series of provocative runway moments from Vetements, known for pushing boundaries in the fashion world. The DHL dress, in particular, has sparked discussions about fashion’s ongoing relationship with unconventional materials, drawing both admiration and curiosity from the audience.
