15 Head-Turning Birthday Dresses, Whether You Love Thigh-High Slits or Cutouts

A birthday dress is a big deal. Your birthday presents an annual opportunity to indulge your fashion fantasies and find a look that perfectly captures personality. If you're hosting a celebration for family and friends, you may feel more inclined to go shopping. But let's be honest: dressing up for a solo birthday date is just as worthy of a head-turning look, too. Take advantage of the occasion by exploring this season's fashion trends and merging them with your personal style to find a birthday dress that's uniquely you. Take inspiration from celebs who celebrated their birthdays recently, like Olivia Rodrigo, who leaned into the Y2K fashion aesthetic with a pink lacy skirt set and a cowboy hat. Or take a cue from Tommy Dorfman, who endorsed the naked-dress trend at her 30th birthday party in a sheer and shiny minidress. Another option? Go Suni Lee's route and opt for a classic little black dress with a plunging neckline, or try Millie Bobby Brown's way and dazzle in a purple sequin dress.

Alternatively, look back at past birthday dresses you've worn, and write down patterns. Do you have a white-birthday-dress tradition and want to stick to a color theme? Or do you gravitate toward a particular silhouette? Perhaps you like edgy minis with cutouts or romantic corseted maxis with subtle details? Read on for a helpful guide that will simplify your search for a birthday dress.

How to Choose the Right Birthday Dress

Narrowing down the list of potential birthday dresses is challenging. There are countless silhouettes, patterns, colors, and shapes, all of which can easily overwhelm. But once you find the right one, something will just click. You'll feel confident and excited about celebrating your next chapter. Make a list of the details that are most important to you (fit, comfort, designer, etc.), and keep your budget in mind.

How to Style Your Birthday Dress

Base your accessories on your dress so it remains the focal point of your birthday look. An off-the-shoulder silhouette lends itself to a choker or chunky chain necklace, while a pendant might be the best way to enhance a plunging neckline. As for shoes, consider the dress style and your comfort needs. Heels, of course, dial up the dressiness. But if the birthday dress you end up choosing grazes the floor, the footwear won't necessarily matter as much, so your favorite flats, sandals, or sneakers will work just fine.

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...
