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.

There's A White Cotton Summer Dress For Everyone – Here Are 5 Of The Best Styles To Buy Now
In 2024 we had Brat Summer: this year, it's the season of the white cotton summer dress. It's not as catchy, sure, but it's also considerably less sweaty. From minimal maxis to crisp poplin shirt dresses, the white cotton dress is the sartorial equivalent of air conditioning – a welcome respite from the cling of acrylic. (As the owner of one too many vintage nylon dresses, I am speaking from experience.) If the SS25 catwalks were anything to go by, designers are in agreement. Most ubiquitous was the white cotton shirt dress, which manifested in mini, midi and maxi forms at Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, and Erdem, respectively. More classic iterations made way for styles with a difference – a flounced hem, split sleeves, or statement cuffs, as seen on Elle Fanning at Cannes last month. The minimal maxi is another sound option for the white summer dress purists among you – it bears no unnecessary decoration, only exaggerated proportions and one or two interesting details. See Brioni's totally perfect, tent-like T-shirt dress or Khaite's very compelling tunic, which appeared on the runway layered atop a pair of silk trousers. For something with a little more romance, we present the white cotton nightie dress – the more demure cousin of the slinky slip. See Bella Hadid's collab with Frankie's bikini, or Harling Ross's collection with If Only If. Equally lovely would be a Broderie Anglaise dress, as seen at 3.1 Phillip Lim, or something with lace cutwork, as at Tove. And if you're not totally ready to relinquish Brat Summer, may we suggest a bubble hem. Alberta Ferretti and Carven proved that the white cotton summer dress can be all sorts of fun via the gathered-hem dresses they showed for SS25. Ready to slip into something a little more comfortable? Here is our edit of the best white cotton summer dresses. Easy, breezy, and not a bead of sweat in sight. Bristol-based vintage seller DuLievre's edit of antique French cotton dresses is unrivalled, while Smock London, Faune and If Only If all make modern iterations. Wear yours with a pair of block-colour ballet flats, chunky silver jewellery, and a basket bag. You can't go wrong with a crisp cotton-poplin shirt dress. Follow the simple but effective styling at Simkhai and style a sweeping maxi with a skinny black belt or do like Alaïa's Pieter Mulier, who dressed up flouncy mini dresses with strappy mules and layered necklaces. The minimal maxi's allure lies in an interesting silhouette – something with oversized proportions or an open back or split sleeves, for example. You'd be forgiven for mistaking styles by Arket for The Row and Khaite, especially when paired with leather flip flops and a single cuff. Spend all of summer in Broderie Anglaise, either in the form of a demure midi dress (with scarlet ballet flats) or something flirtier and thigh-grazing (with Nineties-inspired mules). A white lace dress will do nicely, too. Play with opacity by layering a coloured slip beneath – or, more daringly, not at all. Another bubble-hem summer is upon us, and we're not complaining; this playful detail makes the simplest of white cotton dresses that much more fun. Team Free People's white cotton mini with sleek flip flops and sea-salt hair, or try Cos's midi with jelly shoes and a beaded necklace.

Everything Dakota Johnson has worn this year, ranked from least to most daring
Dakota Johnson's style has always been equally chic and bold. That's continued this year, as she's worn daring looks on and off the red carpet. So far, she's sported see-through ensembles, skin-tight sparkles, and more. One thing to know about Dakota Johnson is that she's always going to look chic. Whether she's walking around New York City, attending the Cannes Film Festival, or posing on a red carpet, her fashion always stands out. That's because it's also often pretty daring. In 2025 alone, she's worn everything from see-through ensembles to skin-tight sparkles. Here's a look at those outfits and everything else she's worn this year, ranked. Dakota Johnson played it safe at a Kering event during the Cannes Film Festival. She wore classic black Gucci trousers with sharp pleats, a semi-sheer white blouse, and shiny black loafers from the Italian fashion house. Though simple, her outfit was expensive. Her shoes cost $1,050, and her pants cost $2,500. She took the same approach to her New York City street style in early June. She wore a sheer Balenciaga bodysuit on one occasion, but covered it with a leather duster jacket. She also sported black Balenciaga jeans, $990 Khaite wedges, The Row's $2,600 Mira clutch, an assortment of Yvonne Leon diamond jewelry, and $590 sunglasses from Khaite's collaboration with Oliver Peoples. The actor looked chic and casual at one Cannes Film Festival event. She wore a $5,200 sleeveless black Gucci dress with a deeply scooped neckline and a crystal hook across the back. The outfit was pretty plain, but elevated thanks to her $1,120 Gucci heels, diamond stud earrings, and a $12,750 Boucheron ring. Johnson added a bold touch to a simple after-party outfit in May. She arrived at the event in a custom YSL slip dress with an orange floral print. The garment was understated by Johnson's standards, though her jewelry was anything but. She wore $115,000 Boucheron earrings made from diamonds and white gold. The statement pieces were shaped like leaves. Her accessories were quietly daring at the beginning of June. While walking around New York City, Johnson was photographed wearing a $98 semi-sheer Commando bodysuit beneath a yellow velvet jacket from Khaite. She also wore simple blue jeans, $990 Khaite wedges in black, and dark Gucci sunglasses. The daring aspect came in the form of her jewelry, which retails for a combined total of over $134,000. Johnson wore a $10,430 Ophelia Eve emerald necklace and a Sophie Bille Brahe piece that costs $123,858, according to InStyle. She experimented with bright colors and dramatic jewels on the Cannes red carpet. For the "Highest 2 Lowest" premiere, Johnson walked the red carpet in a strapless Gucci gown covered with pink fringe. The vibrant color choice was a departure from her usually neutral fashion. She also wore massive Boucheron earrings crafted from diamonds, which sparkled in the light. Johnson made a million-dollar statement at the end of May. She looked stunning in a strapless maxi gown from Ferragamo, which retails for $1,850, and pumps from the same brand. The star of the show, however, was her $1.2 million Roberto Coin necklace. The eye-catching piece was crafted from diamonds, sapphires, and white gold, and it matched her $25,000 blue ring. She wore the pieces shortly after being named the Italian jewelry brand's latest ambassador. The "Materialists" star opted for a skin-hugging gown at the Kering Women in Motion dinner. Her red-carpet gown for the "Saturday Night Live" anniversary special showed even more skin. Designed by Gucci, the black gown had one long sleeve, an asymmetrical neckline, and fabric hanging down the front and back of her body. On the sides, though, it was only held together by the brand's signature horsebit hooks. The latter detail revealed her legs and hips as she walked. Johnson took plunging necklines to another level for an appearance on "The Tonight Show." The black gown she wore to the New York "Materialists" premiere had a daring structure. From the front, her halter-neck Gucci gown almost looked conservative. Its silk fabric wrapped around her neck and extended into a loose-fitting top. From the side, however, you could see the gown's daring backless and sideless cut. She seemingly wore her version of a "revenge dress" for a recent New York City outing. After a rumored breakup between Johnson and Chris Martin, the actor was photographed wearing a $775 tulle-wrapped bodysuit and a matching $1,366 sheer skirt from Nensi Dojaka.

Call It CEO Pink: This Muted, Dusty Shade Means Power in the Office
When Palm Beach native McKenna Phillips moved to Manhattan in 2019, she seemed to develop 'an allergic reaction' to wearing color, she said. Phillips, a 29-year-old hospitality manager, even earned Instagram clout for documenting her tough, all-black outfits. But lately, Phillips says she's found similar strength in a particular shade of pink. Meet the new power neutral—a muted, slightly dusty pale pink. It's as if the quiet-luxury beiges of recent seasons have been washed in rosé. Gone are any associations with Barbie, Pepto-Bismol and frilly baby showers. 'This pink emphasizes the power of sharp tailoring, without sacrificing any minimalism,' said Phillips, who credits the brands Khaite and Alaïa for turning her on to the shade.

What Is the Dress of Summer? It's Surprisingly Simple
Every summer, without fail, a fan-favorite dress emerges; a dress becomes the dress. During the pandemic, for instance, the strawberry dress went viral—and everyone on your Instagram or TikTok page was wearing it. Last year, sheer naked dresses were all the rage. It's no surprise that statement dresses become popular during the season, as they are the perfect, easy garment to wear during a heat wave. And given we are officially entering the summer season next week, we're currently wondering: What will the breakout summer dress of 2025 be? According to celebrities, there are already signs of the silhouettes will reign supreme. Over the past few weeks, stars have been debuting their best summer frocks—and the consensus this year is that minimalism is back. (I mean, did it ever leave?). Simple, sleek maxi dresses—from tank dresses to slinky gowns—have been making their rounds both on the streets and on the red carpets. Compared to bold floral dresses (which are often popular this time of year), the new crop of summer sdummer whisper a sense of elegance. Dakota Johnson Photo: Splash News Cardi B Photo: Backgrid There have been both day and night approaches to the more streamlined look. In New York City, Dakota Johnson recently stepped out in a white Khaite tank dress that was a perfect choice for elevated day wear. The square neck and calf-length hemline made it feel modern, and it's precisely the kind of timeless design you can sport for many summers to come. Ditto for Cardi B and her beige bodycon halter dress: With no embellishments or bright colors, it put all emphasis on the figure and her killer accessories. (With Cardi, that always includes a staggering heel.) For a more formal nighttime feel, meanwhile, simple tank or slip dresses have also prevailed. At the Cannes Film Festival last month, Bella Hadid slinked her way onto the red carpet in a draped black Saint Laurent gown. Again, it was all about the open back and high slit—and less about the dress itself being overly complicated or flashy. In New York, Miley Cyrus wore a black sheer sheath dress; what it lacked in ornamentation, it made up for in drama via a totally-transparent fabrication. Why do such simple looks feel so right for this summer? For starters, they point to the quiet mood of fashion in general right now: Rather than going super experimental, brands like The Row, Lemaire, and Khaite are all zeroing in on classic silhouettes this season. Clearly, the stealthy-chic trend is resonating, and has now ventured into summer dress territory. Still, that doesn't mean your warm weather wardrobe has to be devoid of personality in the months to come. As these stylish celebrities have proven, add a great shoe and fun jewelry, and your look can still have a major impact. Consider these simple dresses your blank canvas—but how you style them, is when a true style masterpiece happens. Start brainstorming, Picassos.
