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!

While you can't shop Shanina's dress now (it's an oldie), you can shop Givenchy's current collection by clicking the link to your right.

Alternatively, why not get the look for less with the high-street's current selection of floral bandeau dresses below!
