5 Best Hervé Léger Bandage Dresses to Shop for 64% Off During Prime Day
Even if you don’t own a bandage dress, you’ve definitely heard about them by now. The style that was once prized by ’90s-era models has had an absolute chokehold on Gen Z fashionistas this past summer (causing a subsequent surge in search by 1,280 percent on the e-commerce platform Depop, from May to July 2025). Stats aside, the bandage dress’ continued prevalence is uncontested, and throngs of stars — from Hailey Bieber to Alix Earle — are taking the colloquial bandage-dress baton from Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Rihanna, and other Y2K trendsetters who sported the silhouette on red carpets of the early aughts.
Feeling inspired to shop your very own? You can do just that this Prime Day, during which bestselling bandage dress picks from Hervé Léger (a French fashion house that pioneered this type of dress, debuting the instant hit on its fall 1992 runway) are on sale for 64 percent off. No, this is not a drill.
The first deal we have our eyes on affects Hervé Léger’s The Gabriella Dress, with a scoop neckline, mini length, and recycled rayon composition that come together to create something akin to a bodysuit: making you look snatched and being just the thing to wear while dancing the night away at a club of choice (preferably one that plays throwback hits in the vein of “Toxic” or “Disturbia”). It’s slashed in price by 64 percent right now, with most sizes still in stock — something that happens so rarely, you might think it’s Christmas morning.
Looking for a bandage dress that’s more suited to formal occasions such as weddings, fundraisers, and annual work soirées? The Metallic Sandra Dress from Hervé Léger is a winner in our book, closely resembling the original bandage creations that first appeared on the label’s runway and were made of “dozens of elasticated bandage-style strips of knitted cloth,” as WWD’s Lisa Lockwood puts it. The Sandra also takes advantage of rayon, which is known for its breathability, a soft feel against skin that’s sometimes compared to that of silk, and a luxe appearance. This time, though, the material has a foil-like look that honors the fashion set’s obsession with metallic surfaces this season. It’s a more modest midi dress, with broad straps crossing at the back and accentuating the sharpness of your scapulas.
While The Metallic Sandra Dress was selling for over $1,100 before Amazon’s October Prime Day rolled around, it can now be yours for just $412, which means the price difference can be better invested into strappy sandals and a sculptural handbag that will pair marvelously with your fresh find.
If the kind of fringe that appeared on the fall 2025 runways of Calvin Klein and Gabriela Hearst is right up your alley, you’ll find a lot to love in the on-sale Hervé Léger The Metallic Alba Dress, whose body-skimming fit is amplified by a sweetheart neckline and the swishy, floor-length accents in question. Itching for the kind of strapless minidress that would fit right into an early-2000s pop music video? The Isla Dress is here for the taking (and we seriously recommend going with its Lipstick Red iteration).
Lastly, those with a penchant for straps (specifically of the spaghetti variety) would be wise to go with The Sadie Dress, another bodycon option that stands out from the crowd based on its foldover detailing and emerald-like colorway — for making a style statement at your next party, of course.
“Bandage dresses are so back,” every influencer seems to be proclaiming as of late, with the TikTok hashtag boasting millions of views and counting. Get with the program and join sartorial icons like Cindy Crawford (circa 1995) in their devotion to the one closet staple that truly oozes timelessness: the curve-blessing bandage dress.
