And Gomez knows how to work the full range of permutations that the surprisingly versatile style offers, from lightweight slips to maxis and minis.
It’s Gomez’s 26th birthday today, and if her track record is any indication, she’s probably already found the perfect prairie dress to celebrate the big day in. So, if you’re in the midst of a midsummer style slump, take a cue from Gomez and freshen up your arsenal. For leg-baring types, The Vampire’s Wife has a light pink floral version with a mini hem, or for a modern twist on the old-school silhouette, split it up à la Batsheva’s velvet-trimmed two-piece or Brock Collection’s silk-jacquard separates. From off-duty daytime staples to after-dark drama, this season offers plenty of Gomez-esque summer dresses to choose from. Shop six options inspired by the birthday girl, below.
