We don’t know if you’ve noticed, but celebrities left and right have been spotted wearing breezy summer pieces with delicate lace details. We saw it on Demi Moore while she vacationed in Paris and Sarah Michelle Gellar posing in Bandol — but the style goes beyond Europe. Jennifer Lopez also donned the look while lunching at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Dua Lipa, who stunned as she left an NYC recording studio. Clearly the design detail spans across continents, cities and ages, and thus, we’re diving headfirst into the look.
The ‘It’ girl trend is equal parts flattering, dainty and sexy, which is why a little bit of lace makes a big statement. Celebs are wearing lace-trimmed dresses, blouses, skirts and beyond. Naturally, we’re following suit with these flattering numbers that are bound to turn heads. We pulled picks from Free People, Anthropologie, Gap and more. Another great note? You don’t need a rich mom budget to look like you’re one; finds start as low as $15.
Lace-Trimmed Summer Looks, As Inspired by Celebs
1. Our Favorite: We’re kind of in love with this lace-trimmed tank top that features the pretty fabric around the neckline and straps. The loose fit is also so ideal for warm summer days.
2. Designer-Inspired: Don’t these wide-leg pants look just like ones from a high-end designer? We credit the loose silhouette, drawstring waist and lace detail at the pant hem.
3. Everyday Ease: Add a bit of lace to your weekday wardrobe with this comfy tank top. Sure, the floral fabric feels feminine, however, the square neckline veers modern.
4. Vintage Vibes: The V-neckline adorned with lace is gorgeous alone, but when paired with the floral dress pattern? Just ‘wow.’ It feels elevated and easy-going at the same time, so you might wear it every weekend from now ’til September.
5. Comfort MVP: There’s nothing better than having a go-to dress in your arsenal. This floral embroidered style could be yours; it’s loose, features stretchy smocking and looks positively chic.
6. Celeb-Approved: Gellar’s elegant lacey outfit made Us instantly want something a little elevated. This satin-like maxi dress is the solution. It’s in the same color wheelhouse as the celeb’s choice, but looks a bit more appropriate for a summer wedding.
7. Pop of Color: Bubble gum pink is fun and statement-making, so be warned: all eyes will be on you. In addition to the bright hue, the tie-shoulder dress has comfortable smocking that hugs the body in the best way.
8. Same But Different: If you like the smocked detail from the dress above, take a look at this number. The peplum top has all-over smocking that feels just right on, while also showing off your ehem assets.
9. No Brainer: Farmers’ markets and errand runs call for breezy outfits, and this lace-trimmed mini is just the thing to wear. The breezy silhouette and light fabric allows air to filter through on balmy days. Plus, the cinched waist totally gives you an hourglass appearance.
10. French Countryside: Give off major cottagecore vibes with this top-rated mini dress from Free People. We especially like the lace paneling on the shoulders, sleeve hems and button-down front.
11. So Trendy: Cool girls are wearing babydoll dresses and tops on the regular; this crop top pick does the style justice with an elevated lacey twist.
12. Almost Gone: Shoppers are buying up these lace shorts in droves, and it’s easy to see why. The lace, eyelet detail extends a little beyond the shorts’ hem, giving it that farm girl-like appearance that’s so cute.
13. Posh Polish: You may already have a button-down shirt in your closet, but we’re willing to bet it doesn’t look as cool as this Exquise one. If you ask Us, it feels almost vintage due to the lace neckline, front details and ruffle hem.
14. Quite the Charmer: Selena Gomez wore a lace-hem skirt to a concert, so we’re wearing lace-hemmed skirts to, well, everywhere. This Anthropologie midi has a rich, silky appearance that looks so elegant with a T-shirt, cami or cardigan come fall.
15. Boho Babe: Etherial and fairy-like are two words to describe this bohemian-style cropped top, which has an asymmetrical hem, ultra-lightweight fabric and floral lace appliqués all over.
