Penny Lane had fans doing a double take when she stepped out in a fiery red Roberto Cavalli dress that stood out beautifully against her glowing complexion.
The fiery red number quickly became the talk of Instagram, with one follower crowning the look “heart-stopping”.
The six-slide post, captioned “vintage Roberto Cavalli hits differently,” opened with a close-up of Lane bending down to adjust the strap of her sandal. Her bent posture immediately raised the suspicion that she was not wearing underwear under the sultry dress.
The next slide confirmed the suspicion as it zoomed in on her torso, highlighting her full chest and bare side in the high-slit dress.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model also treated followers to a full-length photo that showcased the dress in all its glory. One particular full-length shot captured her from the side, her legs slightly crossed and her hands buried in her hair as she arched her back to highlight her slender but curvaceous frame.
A closer look at her bold red dress
Penny Lane’s outfit was a sultry red dress that showed a healthy amount of skin and popped beautifully against her tanned complexion.
The dress was designed with a low neckline, wide shoulder straps and discreet ruching at the waist. A gold hardware accent in the midsection added a touch of luxury while drawing attention to her curves.
Its most eye-catching feature was a dramatic thigh-high slit that extended from the gold hardware detail all the way to the hemline. The bold cut exposed much of her side and hip, adding a daring twist to the vintage look.
Strappy gold heels completed the outfit, while her understated makeup and minimal accessories ensured the dress remained the focal point of the ensemble.
Lane is ‘heart stopping’
As expected, the reactions poured in almost immediately.
More than 28,000 users liked the post, while hundreds flooded the comments section with praise.
“God that dress suits your curves so well,” wrote one admirer.
“Absolute absolute perfection! Wow!! What a woman,” another fan commented.
A third follower simply declared: “Spectacular. Heart-stopping.”
Several users also crowned Lane as one of the most beautiful women on social media, while others couldn’t help but refer to the revealing nature of the outfit.
“Penny no panty,” joked one user.

Made from sleek black fabric, the swimsuit featured a plunging neckline, high-cut legs and several cut-out details running along the sides and center of the design.

The ‘most beautiful’ in a little floral bikini
Back on May 13, Lane gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2026 photo shoot.
Posing across a large bed, she wore a soft butter yellow bikini consisting of a triangle style top and matching side bottoms.
The bikini featured delicate white floral appliqués, adding texture and dimension to the design. Matching floral details were also attached to the bottom strings, tying the look together.
The post was quickly filled with compliments from fans and other celebrities alike.
Among those praising the model was singer Ellie Goulding, who summed up the reaction perfectly by calling her “the Most Beautiful”.
