Catherine Zeta-Jones Just Nailed Italian Vacay Style in Portofino

What are you doing if you're not vacationing in Europe right now? I, for one, am sweating out the summer in Brooklyn, living vicariously through all the photos of celebrities vacationing everywhere from Paris to Positano.

Recently, Catherine Zeta-Jones caught my eye when she stepped out for a stroll with her husband, Michael Douglas, while on holiday in Portofino, Italy. The 53-year-old Wednesday star looked stunning clad in a chic vintage Ungaro gown with a plunging neckline. If this dress looks familiar to you, then you're not alone. It was worn almost two decades ago by Jessica Simpson when she received the Big Stylin' award at VH1's Big in 2005 ceremony. This goes to show that truly excellent fashion never goes out of style.

Ahead, shop maxi dresses that are perfect to take on vacation. Or, if you're like me, to wear while taking your dog for a hot girl walk around the block. When you carry yourself with this much confidence, it doesn't matter if you're in Pittsburgh or Plano.
