Kaia Gerber brings back this retro dress to welcome summer in New York City

Kaia Gerber embraced a timeless look at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival on June 12, stepping out in a vintage-inspired red and white polka-dot dress paired with elegant ballet block heels. The model and actress attended the premiere of G'onzo Girl,' directed by Patricia Arquette, showing support for her longtime friend, Camila Morrone.

Showcasing a look that perfectly welcomed summer with classic 1950s flair, Kaia wore a halter-neck dress, adorned with small white polka dots featuring a vibrant red background, a flattering V-neckline, and a flowy skirt.

Her latest outfit is a perfect summer look, with a fun and timeless trend featuring the retro pattern, embraced by more celebs and designers this season. Complementing the dress, Kaia opted for ivory ballet block heels, a mix between a ballet flat and a pump, with a small bow at the front adding the perfect dainty accent.

Accessorizing minimally, Kaia wore a thin gold necklace and carried a sleek black rectangular shoulder bag with silver hardware. Her oversized gold hoop earrings added a subtle statement, balancing the simplicity of the look.

This is not the first time the model and actress is photographed blending vintage influences with contemporary trends, especially on the red carpet, where she has been seen in archival pieces with a twist, solidifying her unique sense of style.

Now, with summer underway, she is setting the tone for a season filled with nostalgic patterns. Just a few weeks ago, we reported that Kaia was also bringing back a vintage silhouette when it came to bathing suits.

She wore a baby blue high-waisted bikini while filming the fan-favorite comedy series 'Overcompensating' starring 'White Lotus' stars Connie Britton and Adam DiMarco.

Kaia was seen in the trailer for the show, wearing the chic bikini paired with wedge sandals. This returning bikini style creates a flattering, elongating effect on the legs and provides more coverage around the midsection.
