This Is the It-Girl Way to Wear a Fancy Dress During the Day

Dressing up is always fun, but sometimes you just want to look a little more laid-back. This is a dilemma many other fashion people have: wanting to look effortless, but not many can perfect it, especially when it comes to dresses. It can be a difficult feat to make them look cooler. Dua Lipa, though, has perfected this effortless look. She was spotted recently while in Brazil wearing a look that was equal parts elegant and cool.

She wore a sleek satin slip dress paired with knee-high boots and a casual trench coat layered over it from The Row. Over her shoulder, she wore a gold and black bag from Schiaparelli. Her outfit had cool girl written all over it. She used the styling trick of juxtaposition. A fancy lace trim satin dress with a trench coat isn’t an entirely new concept, but her look was a perfect reminder that you can always make a dress look more casual.
