The Affordable Dresses Ruling the Celeb World This Summer
Any time a celebrity posts something potentially viral to Instagram, you can bet that this is the ensuring series of events: Their post hits our feeds, we screenshot, save, tag our friends, or all of the above. We then proceed to hunt down the potentially viral fashion item(s) in question. As fashion editors, identifying celebrities' wardrobes is part of the job at hand, but when that also happens to involve on-trend and affordable items, we nearly lose it.
Well, prepare to flip out, too, over the latest wave of celeb Instagrams. This summer, It girls from Elsa Hosk to Dua Lipa are showing off their stylish (and under-$200) dresses all over the 'gram. And if you were on the fence about trends like romantic puff sleeves, flirty ruffles, and printed wrap dresses, let the following posts convince you once and for all that these are the only ones that matter right now. So what if the summer is halfway over—you still have (at least) another month and a half to soak up the sun in these perfect celeb-adored picks.
Ahead, see the dreamy affordable dresses that girls like Emily Ratajkowski, Kaia Gerber, and Chiara Ferragni are wearing right now.
