The cutout dress has proven to be one of 2025’s most beloved trends, and we’re here for it. Though cutouts have been everywhere these past few seasons, they’re getting more inventive and unique by the day. Jennifer Lopez gave her stamp of approval on the fad with two of her eight alluring ensembles at this year’s American Music Awards — both of which featured cutouts all over. For one red carpet look, she wore a neutral Defaïence dress with gold hoops, forming cutouts that plunged all the way down to her stomach, while another outfit change ushered in an ab-baring Bronx and Banco dress, adorned with sparkly fringes and an embellished cross. Cutout dresses now come with accents across the stomach, collarbone, chest, shoulders — you name it. If you’ve been seeing the viral fashion trend all over TikTok and in red carpet photos and want to try it on for size, here are 15 sexy styles that are worth scooping up.

It’s a Jorts Summer, Shop the TikTok-Viral Trend Here
The Y2K era has dominated the sartorial food chain in recent years, from baguette bags and charmcore to crop tops and flared jeans. While we’ve enjoyed adding these items in abundance to our wardrobes, there’s a new girl on the block who deserves our coins even more: the jort. Otherwise known as jean shorts that hit just above the knee or lower, the bottom has found its way to the top of our FYPs (once again), after taking over last summer.

And as with many other trends, the denim style dates back to the early aughts, with stars like Beyoncé having donned skinny jean jorts on many occasion and Madonna’s casual looks often defined by long, oversized menswear jorts.
