The fashion designer’s is on track to become as famous as the Herve Leger bandage dress was in the Noughties, only it’s a lot more versatile.
It has been designed to suit women of all ages – thanks to VB’s five-point formula.
Point one is the ruched long waist. Ruching or gathering from waist to hip is as flattering as it is forgiving, and adds movement and interest to a very simple silhouette – not to mention it disguises any lumps and bumps.
Point two is a clean, uncomplicated, feminine silhouette. The dress is cut like a gently flared, midi-length tea dress, so it’s elegant, flattering and eminently wearable.
This is partly thanks to the third point (a crucial one if you’re over the age of 50) – the draped tulip sleeves.
These cunningly have it both ways: they’re long enough to disguise any trace of bingo wings and, at the same time, split to the shoulder so the look is lighter and fresher.
Point four: the miracle dress comes in six plain block colours, so it has all the advantages of a floral dress, plus modernity and striking power.
And point five of the winning formula: you can dress it up or down, and wear it year round.

Naturally Victoria took her catwalk bow wearing the black version over the summer, which will no doubt be the LBD on the social circuit this autumn.
The £850 dress has driven profits at her once troubled fashion brand – with sales soaring by 52 per cent last year.
A-list fans already include Queen Letizia of Spain, 51, and model Kendall Jenner, 28, who have both worn the ‘parrot green’ version of the midi-dress.
Other fashionable followers include model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
One in ten of her online sales is said to be the outfit – which was launched in her spring/summer 2023 show on supermodel Bella Hadid.
A source said the former Spice Girl was ‘thrilled’ at the turnover, adding: ‘Victoria has worked so hard on her label. It has been tough at times but she is so happy it is now going from strength to strength.’
The brand, which was launched in 2008, has reportedly borrowed more than £30 million to stay afloat over the years. However last year saw revenues soar from £59 million to £89 million – its third consecutive year of growth.
Victoria’s appearance at the Vogue event comes after Victoria and her husband David enjoyed a romantic date night at Nobu Malibu over the weekend amid their ongoing US trip.

Posh and Becks’ sartorial choices couldn’t be seen from outside of the car, but there is no doubt the famously stylish couple looked catwalk ready for their dinner.
The parents of sons Brooklyn, 25; Romeo, 22; Cruz, 19; and daughter Harper, 13, had their beachside dinner on Friday.
The same day, David posted a loving tribute to Harper in honor of International Day of the Girl.
Becks took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with a group of young girls who seemed delighted to meet the sporting legend.
He captioned the picture: ‘As a proud @unicef Goodwill Ambassador and father to an incredible daughter, an issue close to my heart is for girls everywhere to have their voices heard, to learn and have the chance to fulfill their potential.
On this #DayoftheGirl, we encourage our world leaders to continue the fight to protect the rights of adolescent girls #GirlGoals.’
In another image, taken by the charity responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide, the star could be seen sharing a joke with a young teen.
In the comment section, Unicef responded to the father-of-four, writing, ‘Thank you, David, for always standing with us! Together, we’re helping girls reach their goals and create a brighter future. We’re grateful for your support!’
Two of the couple’s three sons have also had recent big moments.
Romeo made his runway debut for Balenciaga at Paris Fashion Week. Last month, Romeo reportedly left his Premier League football club, despite being offered a new contract by Brentford FC in June, to pursue a fashion career.
And Brooklyn, a model-turned-photographer-turned-chef, launched his new hot sauce brand Cloud23, available exclusively at Whole Foods shops in the UK.

Cloud 23, named after the No.23 jersey his father wore at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, comes in two variants – Sweet Jalapeno and Hot Habanero.
‘I did my research and I just felt like there was this hole in the market with luxury condiments, especially for a really good price,’ he told Delish magazine.
Explaining his move into condiments, he said, ‘I’ve always been a foodie. I’ve always been lucky enough to travel to different places in the world with my mum and dad. Obviously my dad with football, we lived in Madrid, we lived in LA, Milan.
‘Then Covid happened, I met my wife and started cooking for her and just fell in love with it. And now it’s just something that just takes my mind off of things.’
