Selena Gomez is the official queen of the summer prairie dress. She’s as likely to go for a grocery run in a breezy floral frock as she is to elevate one on the red carpet, as she did with the dainty, lace-accented Coach dress that she wore to the 2017 Met Gala.
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.
