Fashion is full of trends that come and go, but some silhouettes seem to resonate with some of our favorite celebrities and A-list stars, including the polarizing drop-waist style. Recently, Kendall Jenner, Katie Holmes, and Demi Moore have all embraced this timeless yet modern shape, proving that the figure-hugging drop-waist dress is here to stay.

Kendall Jenner’s recent appearance at Coachella was a standout, and not because of over-the-top accessories or bold statement pieces. The model's look was refreshingly minimalist.

Katie Holmes also loves the drop-waist trend, and she proved it last September. Stepping out in a strapless drop-waist dress, Holmes kept her look minimal but elevated, with thoughtful design details like a sculptural, pleated panel at the bust and a full A-line skirt.
