Steal Shanina's style with a bandeau mini dress
Our obsession with shoulders this season (think off-the-shoulder everything) has seem us embracing bandeau styles like never before. Most notably: itty bitty bandeau dresses, like this one worn by Shanina Shaik.
The supermodel donned a Givenchy dress, courtesy of the SS15 Menswear show, to attend a swimwear event. Keeping her look relatively simple and very nineties, Shanina teamed her floral print mini with strappy black heels and a single black choker. Our verdict? We LOVE!
