13 Chic Bridal-Shower Dresses, From Satin Midis to Cutout Styles

Besides your wedding gown and engagement-party dress, your bridal-shower outfit will likely be one of the most photographed looks of your nuptial festivities. While what you'll wear to your bridal shower is typically more pared down than what you'll wear on the big day, it's still a moment when all eyes are on you - so why not indulge in a dressier ensemble? You can go super formal or keep things dressy casual.

A white bridal-shower dress is a conventional but chic choice. If you'd like to go the nontraditional route, try a colorful dress or a printed style. Consider Syrian designer Rime Arodaky for an impeccable suit-inspired minidress or Australian label Third Form for a timeless satin midi dress you can easily rewear over and over again. If, on the other hand, you'd like to introduce an element of color without going too bold, Emilia Wickstead's floral cotton midi dress or Reformation's painterly off-shoulder design are two options that will guarantee a head-turning entrance.

Feeling inspired by "Bridgerton"? You'll love Sister Jane's pearl-encrusted mini ball gown or House of CB's pleated satin midi dress. Err on the side of dressy casual with Cult Gaia's cutout knit midi dress or Anna October's breezy sundress. No matter your style preferences, there are an assortment of bridal shower outfits to choose from.

What to Wear to Your Bridal Shower

There is no hard and fast rule that requires you to wear white to your bridal shower. In fact, many brides have been breaking with convention this season - opting for black wedding dresses and styles with shorter hemlines, for example - and this attitude extends to their bridal-shower attire.

Nailing any special occasion look is about slipping into something you'll look and feel comfortable in. During the summer, lighter and breathable fabrics - such as linen and cotton - typically deliver in terms of practicality, while in the colder seasons, thicker materials (think knit or tweed) strike a balance between luxe and warm. Where and when you host your bridal shower will affect what you choose to wear: a classic blazer dress might be ideal for a fancy restaurant, while a midi design with eyelets could be better suited for a relaxed brunch at a friend's home.

How to Style Your Bridal-Shower Dress

Whether it's a pair of opera gloves or a statement chain necklace, accessories will play a big role in enhancing your bridal-shower dress. They give you an opportunity to introduce color - like with a bright handbag or a vibrant pair of earrings - or stick to a certain theme, such as a garden party or beach hang.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
