If You Like Zoë’s Saint Laurent Slip Dress, You’ll Love This Affordable Version

Every time Zoë Kravitz steps out—whether it be strolling arm-in-arm with Harry Styles through the streets of Rome whilst wearing matching The Row, or taking her role of Saint Laurent ambassador seriously by embodying its Parisian sensibility brand on the red carpet—I’m always confronted with the same thought: that this is the best she's ever looked.

That is, inevitably, until the next time she makes a public appearance, and I come to the realisation that no matter the occasion, she always outperforms herself in the fashion stakes. Yet, despite it only being a few weeks into 2026, I’d argue that the 37-year-old has already delivered her most memorable look of the year in the form of the peachy lace-trim satin minidress she wore to a Golden Globes afterparty.

After wearing a floor-grazing iteration of the same silhouette to the ceremony, the actor-turned-director changed into a mini version that featured ivory accents and contrasting seafoam-green straps. I keep finding my mind wandering back to the shorter version for its simplicity and sophistication.

So, when I stumbled upon a near-identical—yet considerably more affordable—version from British independent label If Only If, you can only imagine how quickly I bought one myself.

Boasting the same romantic qualities as the Anthony Vaccarello-designed style, the London-based retailer’s Elizabeth Dress, which derives its name from the iconic Hollywood bombshell Elizabeth Taylor, features sweet, airy straps and a thigh-grazing length, and is made from glossy silk-satin. Better still, the slip dress retails for a fraction of the price, with this style on sale for £175 compared to the original’s £3370 price tag. And it looks like I’m not the only one who has been lured by this chic slip.

Despite only launching last week as part of the brand’s Valentine’s Day collection, influencer Lucy Williams has already flaunted the find on her Instagram account. If Only If’s owner and creative director, Emily Campbell, explains that the dress's appeal comes down to the fact that the silhouette is "timeless and feminine—two things that will never go out of style."

Proving this point even further is perennial It girl Alexa Chung, who recently wore a chartreuse-and-lemon-coloured lace-trim slip from emerging British brand, Debute. Whilst these kinds of cuts are synonymous with ‘90s minimalism, the way the slips are being styled makes them fitting for the sort of "sleazy elegance" we’re already seeing emerge this year through trends like the 2010s accessories craze and the return of the fur-trimmed jacket.

As a bonus, the lace-trim slip dress is a style that complements these pieces perfectly, with Campbell also noting that slips are traditionally "girlish", "so adding some more masculine references creates a really modern balance." Polished and poised, it’s the exact attitude I want to emulate this spring (I'm investing in gorgeous lingerie like French-founded, Los Angeles-based Le Boudoir to pair it with), so I'll be moving into the season with lightness, effortless elegance and a swishy mini cloaking my body. I only hope I do Zoë justice.
