You’re not hallucinating; peplum skirts and dresses are dominating red carpets this award season.
With 2010s fashion making a major comeback at NYFW, it was only a matter of time before the divisive peplum silhouette made its return. And while peplum skirts, dresses, and tops are coming back in full force, they've gotten a 2026 makeover.
Of course, you'll see structured peplum pieces reminiscent of the ones you wore in high school and college. Think waist-enhancing belted dresses and peplum tops paired with body-hugging pencil skirts.
But you'll also be seeing a more boho chic take on the trend, with peplum skirts and tops made from flowy fabrics and romantic lace that are perfect for summer.
You'll even find sets featuring both peplum tops and peplum skirts for a double dose of the red carpet-approved trend. When paired with modern accessories, these updated peplum pieces fit right in with your 2026 wardrobe.
