Garden Party Attire: Shop Pieces Perfect for Lawns, Rosé, and Romance
Below, our definitive Vogue guide to garden party attire—what to wear, what to avoid, and the best pieces to shop now in every category. Mini Dresses There's something irresistibly flirty about a mini dress when worn beneath sun-dappled trees. Garden parties are among the rare occasions where a shorter hemline can feel both whimsical and refined—especially when styled. This season, consider Magda Butrym's painterly floral off-shoulder silhouette or Khaite's raspberry-cream Pranta slip with architectural lines. For a touch of play, Pucci's print mesh and Staud's pleated embellished poplin mini bring energy to the lawn. Style with a raffia clutch and a block heel to balance whimsy with polish. Midi Dresses Consider the midi dress the true workhorse of garden party attire. Neither too prim nor too revealing, it offers the ideal length for moving gracefully between lawn chairs and canapé trays. This summer's highlights include Prada's butter-yellow pleated sheath, Stella McCartney's lace-trimmed satin midi with boudoir undertones, and Bernadette's painterly belted dress with a demure boat neckline. For a high-low moment, Mango's strapless floral option strikes a sweet note. Pair these with kitten heels and a bit of glinting jewelry, and you're well-suited for weddings, showers, or any garden gathering that demands a touch of ceremony. Maxi Dresses If the invitation leans formal—or if you simply wish to make an entrance—there's no greater ally than a floor-sweeping dress. Cara Cara's pleated strapless gown in crisp floral cotton evokes the grandeur of an English conservatory, while Sir's slinky silk slip dress printed with muted botanicals offers a subtler take. For those drawn to color, La DoubleJ's Penelope dress in zesty yellow reads like a walking sunbeam. Prefer stripes? Try the Laura linen sundress for a casual but considered statement. These sweeping silhouettes require little else—perhaps a sleek bun and delicate gold jewelry to finish the look. Separates While dresses may dominate, separates offer a welcome alternative, especially for those looking to wear their pieces long after the party ends. This season, Cara Cara's pleated cotton poplin skirt and matching tie-front shirt make a case for coordinated drama, while Simon Miller's striped poplin button-up and Pia pants nod to playful minimalism. Isabel Marant's tiered halterneck top and paisley-print mini skirt offer a more bohemian spirit—ideal for more relaxed affairs. Each combination can be just as garden-appropriate as a dress, particularly when styled with personality: a bold hair clip, a vintage brooch, or oversized sunglasses. Agua by Agua Bendita Reserva bustier top $390 NET-A-PORTER Agua by Agua Bendita Bergamota midi skirt $890 NET-A-PORTER Accessories No garden ensemble is complete without the finishing touches, and this is where whimsy and utility meet. Staud's ribbon-trimmed sunhat is both sculptural and practical, while Mango's braided leather bag and Loewe's floral cotton pouch bring texture without distraction. For evening affairs, consider Prada's fringed crochet clutch in a grassy green. Add polish with Bottega Veneta's cat-eye sunglasses and Lelet NY's delicate claw clip—accessories that feel intentional without being overwrought. The rule here is simple: your accoutrements should complement the garden, not compete with it.

Cardi B fires back at 'haters' and confirms why WAP is on new album
Cardi B has defended the decision to include WAP and Up on her new album years after they came out. The 32-year-old rapper has is releasing her upcoming record Am I The Drama? on September 19, and she has prompted some backlash that her two singles - which first dropped in 2020 and 2021 respectively - will be part of the new collection, which marks her first LP since 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy. However, she fired back on X: "This will be the last and only time I'm gonna address this.. "WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, my fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time… they deserve a home.. (sic)" Cardi insisted she caved to "haters" at the time by not putting her X-rated single WAP forward for a Grammy Award, but now she's thinking of her fans. She continued: "I let haters make me not submit WAP for the Grammy's and at this point I'm giving my fans what they want! "These two songs don't even count for first week sales so what are yall even crying about??? "Do ya say anything when all these artist pull out all their little tricks and ponies to sell out??? Exactly… "Now let them eat cake. Go cry about it!!! (sic)" After warning she will "give them hell" on the new album, Cardi unveiled the title and release date for her next studio effort earlier this week. The Bodak Yellow rapper cautioned those who have done her wrong that she is their "tyrant", ahead of what looks set to be an explosive record. Cardi said in a voiceover shared on Instagram: 'Seven years and the time has come. Seven years of love, life and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell. "I learned power is not given, it's taken. I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back, I'm beyond. I'm not your villain, I'm your tyrant. The time is here. The time is now."
