The Summer Dresses To Wear, According To Your Horoscope

The sun is out (sort of) and the unpredictable forecast may be causing decision paralysis when it comes to the best summer dress to wear. What if, just maybe, you relinquished all control and put your sartorial fate in the hands of your horoscope?
Specifically, we have scoured the zodiac and matched star signs to summer dresses to make getting dressed in the morning that bit easier.

Whether your star sign is passionate fire, whimsical air, romantic water, or grounded earth, there is a summer dress to suit. The corset dress may be alluring to the indecisive Libra, while a naked dress will equip a Gemini well for her next party. Pisces? We have you covered, and it involves several chiffon ruffles and one Chemena Kamali. Sun in Virgo? You'll be happy to hear there are no ruffles in sight – only a crisp shirt dress or three.
The zodiac's natural-born rebels rarely follow the crowd. That's why they will be adventuring their way through summer in a dress made from denim, a fabric that's as practical as it is playful – especially when said dress is constructed from a repurposed pair of jeans.
Haikure and Marques'Almeida are masters of the jean dress, while Gabriela Hearst offers up ladylike styles in clean-wash chambray. If she were alive today, we think famous Sagittarian Jane Austen would very much approve of the latter.
A dress that celebrates corsetry will satisfy even the most indecisive of Librans, while appealing to their need for balance and harmony.
Of course, one cannot write about corset dresses without talking about Vivienne Westwood. Do like stylish Libran Bella Hadid, who has a penchant for vintage Westwood, and find a pre-loved piece on eBay or Depop, styling it with a pearl necklace and exaggerated platforms. Alternatively, layer a bustier from Sézane or Reformation atop a crisp cotton dress.
The Taurus woman's favourite place is nestled upon a cloud-like sofa, so when she does go out, she wants her outfit to be equal parts comfortable and chic. Enter: the maxi dress, ideally minimally decorated, in an earthy hue, and crafted from a good-quality fabric (Tauruses prize luxury).
Khaite, Posse, and St. Agni all reign supreme when it comes to the minimal maxi. Keep everything else suitably pared back; think leather flip flops, a chunky beaded necklace, and a logo-less bag.
Have you ever seen a hair out of place on Zendaya, Cameron Diaz, or Beyoncé? Well, that's likely because they're Virgos – a sign known for meticulous attention to detail.
We're giving the shirt dress to the Virgos amongst you, mostly because we know you'll ensure it's crisply ironed and never coffee-stained. New York designers have long loved a shirt dress, namely Tory Burch and Kate Spade, whose signature styles call for ballet flats and a ladylike bag.
Leos are no wallflowers, which is why we suggest they adorn themselves with the most eye-catching blooms.
Floral dresses come in endless iterations, but we're currently partial to an oversized bouquet. Magnified roses or peonies reinvigorate a simple shirt or midi dress, and make it perfect for the summer season's slew of events.
If splashing out, Erdem is the natural choice – the designer's full-skirted dresses call to mind a nostalgic elegance that Leos will love. Otherwise, brands like Mango, Ro&Zo and Rixo are advocates for petal power, whatever the season.
This charismatic air sign is the perfect candidate for the sheer trend, and it's no secret that a naked dress makes for quite the conversation starter.
Consider a sheath style in organza, chiffon, or mesh – as favoured by Sportmax, Alaïa, and Khaite – layering it with a bandeau bra and big knickers, or a neutral-coloured slip, depending on how daring you feel.
Cancerians don't like surprises, and there is familiarity and comfort in the calf-grazing length of a midi dress.
You may prefer to eschew this season's floaty, frothy numbers for something decidedly more prim and proper. As seen at Miu Miu and Self-Portrait, one could imagine these structured shifts being worn by Cancerians including Margot Robbie, Pamela Anderson, and the late Princess Diana. They look great with heeled ballet pumps or pointed slingbacks.
The creative, intellectual and often free-spirited Aquarius is often drawn to bold prints and colours, which may make the polka-dot dress a curious choice. Hear us out – the humble polka dot becomes anything but when rendered in lipstick red (see Fendi), made sheer (Conner Ives), or clashed and matched with other spotty things (Moschino).
Need more inspiration? Here is an outfit we are wearing on repeat: Susa Musa's sheer, polka-dot skirt, a 1990s-inspired, fitted shirt or tee, and barely-there mules.
The diligent, attention-focused Capricorn will likely appreciate the uniformity and symmetry of a striped dress. Never ones to follow the crowd, they may depart from stripes' nautical associations by opting for something deconstructed and asymmetric – as seen at Proenza Schouler.
While it may be all-too tempting to opt for a boating shoe, a square-toe ballet flat or sneakerina style is pleasingly unexpected – perfect for a trailblazing Capricorn.
Diana Ross, Sarah Jessica Parker, Celine Dion… Aries women are leading ladies by nature, with a fearless approach to most things, including fashion.
She won't balk at a flippy, thigh-grazing hem, which is lucky because for SS25, designers showed exaggerated, A-line shapes that showed a lotta leg. JW Anderson's were made of leather and architected with tutu-like skirts, while Loewe's were trapeze-shaped and embellished with gaudily bright sequins. Complement the 1960s feel with a pair of space-age silver Mary Janes or ballet flats.
No one will appreciate the unfettered romance of a diaphanous, ruffle-edge dress quite like this whimsical water sign. SS25, the season of the boho renaissance, is her season.
She'll be wafting around in some chiffon concoction, ideally in a sugared-almond shade and by Chloé. Free People is a great destination for ruffled fancies, including bloomers, which our Piscean may wish to layer beneath a semi-sheer smock.
Sensual Scorpio knows that lace-trimmed, silk nighties are far too alluring to reserve for the bedroom. Instead, she is looking to SS25 catwalks for inspiration and teaming a mere wisp of a dress with chunky wooden platforms and a vintage bag (as seen at Chloé) or something more 1960s-tinged, with knee-high socks and loafers (as decreed at Miu Miu).
We are buying our slinky slips from Coutille and Reformation, and those too-lovely-for-bed nighties from Smock London, If Only If, and Vinted (search for 'vintage St. Michael').

The Moon is in reliable Taurus, where it will first trine Mars in Virgo, inspiring us to act, before going on to square Pluto in Aquarius, stirring up our desire for change.

This probably won't be a quiet evening. Aries March 21 – April 19 You can make your home into anything you want it to be, Aries. Your sign's traditional ruling planet, fierce Mars, is in your efficient 6th house, where it sextiles lucky Jupiter in your domestic 4th house.

Gemini on Android can now identify songs — but there's a catch

Just days after launching 'Search Live,' Google continues to evolve Gemini into a solid AI Assistant on Android, with the latest update bringing a long-missing fan favorite: song identification. You can now ask Gemini, 'What song is this?' and the chatbot will trigger Google's Song Search interface, the same listening tool familiar to Assistant users. It can recognize music from your environment, a playlist or even if you hum the tune yourself. I'm curious to test just how accurate the humming needs to be. Song Search isn't fully native to Gemini yet. When you ask for song identification, it launches a full-screen listening interface from the Google app (not directly inside Gemini), The song identification update works in the Gemini app on Android, but when you type (or speak) "What song is this?" it kicks you into the Google app's Song Search interface, virtually handing off to the Google app, which feels a bit clunky compared to the way Pixel's Now Playing Assistant handles fairly well. It also doesn't stay inside Gemini Live's conversational experience, which also feels like a miss. And, once it finds a match, the result appears in Google Search, not as an inline Gemini response. For now, this feature works only on Android; there's no Gemini song identification on iOS yet. You'll also need to manually restart the full-screen Song Search interface if you want to identify multiple songs in a row. In terms of comparison, Google Assistant's built-in Now Playing feature is still more seamless. You can trigger it with a voice command or lock screen shortcut, and it shows results inline (often with album art) and even works offline. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In contrast, Gemini's new Song Search relies on the Google app's listening interface. You need to type or say 'What song is this?' in Gemini, which then opens a full-screen search window and hands off the result to the Google app. It's accurate, pulling from the same song database as Assistant, but the experience is naturally less smooth, since it requires switching apps and doesn't stay inside Gemini itself. Another key difference: while Google Assistant's Now Playing is available on most Android devices and pre-installed on Pixel, Gemini's Song Search is Android-only for now, and it's not yet available on iOS. Yes, Gemini can now identify songs, but it's not yet as smooth as Google Assistant or Pixel's Now Playing feature. Still, if you're using Gemini daily, this brings back a key Assistant-era capability, which is a good sign that Google is listening to user feedback as Gemini evolves into a more complete voice assistant.
