‘Office Siren’ style may have been a 2024 invention, but it’s shaping up to be the trend of the season in 2025.
The latest star to catch onto the 90s-inspired fad? Sydney Sweeney, who made a case for shirt dresses in her latest Instagram post.
Sharing a serene mirror selfie sporting an ivory number, the Euphoria actress married off-duty charm with office-friendly silhouettes. She slipped into a white ‘Jamie’ shirt dress by Adapté, complete with a mini silhouette, ruched detailing, flared sleeves, button-down detailing and a preppy pop collar.

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok as of late, you’ll be aware of the movement taking workspaces by storm. The trend is less about HR approval and more about turning the boardroom into your personal catwalk. Think slinky pencil skirts, barely-buttoned blouses, and heels that clack loudly in the corridor.

Directed by Halina Reijn, the film centres a high-powered CEO, who risks her career and family as she embarks on a passionate, forbidden affair with a much younger intern played by Harris Dickinson.
Several celebrities have toyed with the term. Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber are in the midst of a skinny sunglasses craze, while Billie Eilish and Maisie Williams rarely pass up the opportunity to debut a tailored ensemble.
Also included in the actress’ Instagram post was a luxe snap of the star posing on a jet ski sporting a chocolate bikini, complete with a halterneck design and matching bottoms. As they say, get a girl who can do both.
