Gwyneth Paltrow's recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival has got us in a frenzy, to say the least. Plus, this look is setting the bar high for summer event inspiration; this classic yet unique printed dress is something that every summer wardrobe deserves.
Last month she spoke on stage at day two of the film festival, and with the rising heatwave, her look has never been more appropriate for garden parties, upcoming nuptials, or a hot daytime outing! This straight-up and down maxi style, with the large floral poppy print, is simply flawless and ideal for the warm weather—a standout choice if you're on the hunt for the best wedding guest dresses.
Fortunately for you, I've found some brilliant floral printed dresses from our high street favourites that are equally as stunning as Paltrow's, so you can add this style to your summer capsule wardrobe in no time.
The exact dress she wore was the Poppy Printed Maxi-Dress from Oscar de la Renta, an American ready-to-wear brand well known for creating fabulous women's evening wear. She styled the look with pinkish nude Gianvito Rossi Metropolis sandals, and a chunky gold chain necklace and a gold pendant bracelet.
Oscar de la Renta is also a firm favourite amongst some of our most-loved a-listers, including Sarah Jessica Parker and Cameron Diaz.
Paltrow is renowned for her sophisticated and elegant looks, her incredible stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman takes part in creating this effortlessly beautiful looks.
The large flower motif is such a simple yet impactful style choice that instantly transforms this look into something extraordinary. This printed design adds a burst of colour to the bright white background, making it ideal for summer special occasions. And styled with some comfortable wedding guest shoes, you have a winning combination.
