While the Summer is no doubt the perfect time to have some fun in the sun and relax at the beach, life oftentimes gets in the way. Baby showers, bridal showers, and wedding invites begin piling up, with a few birthday barbecues or brunches thrown in for good measure. But what's a girl to wear when your weather app is predicting high 80s and you're required to get a little dressed up? The Eighth Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic has the answer.
The stars walked the red carpet for the event decked out in light, white looks, printed maxi dresses, and culottes, all of which were elevated but still kept them cool. Read on to see their outfits in full and get some fashion inspiration for your next fancy outdoor party.
Emma Roberts
The actress looked lovely in a bright yellow, belted Christine Alcalay maxivdress, which she paired with a little leopard purse.
Freida Pinto
We're green with envy over Frieda Pinto's Michael Kors look. This checkered dress would be perfect for both somewhat casual and fancy occasions.
Hannah Bronfman
Hannah's pretty patterned midi skirt is something everyone can pull off, and her collared tank makes her look superfeminine.
Joan Smalls
Joan's pleated, mock neck Alexander Wang dress would be the perfect shower outfit for any bride-to-be.
Diane Kruger
Diane Kruger's wide-leg, cutout Roland Mouret jumpsuit is the perfect amount of sexy and sophisticated.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
If you're looking for something that'll keep you cool but is still slightly elevated, let Maggie Gyllenhaal be your guide. The star rocked an airy, light pink suit, which she style with a crop top and a pair of white sandals.
Jasmine Tookes
Rather than walk around the grass in heels, the model paired her all-white look with some flat Louis Vuitton espadrilles.
Kate Bock
Model Kate Bock kept it pretty casual save for one elaborate detail: layering an on-trend bodychain under her crop top.
Rebecca Minkoff
Leave it to Rebecca Minkoff to master the Summer look. The designer wore a printed sundress, some strappy sandals, and a fringe bag to the event.
Dascha Polanco
We love the OITNB star's structured, suit-like dress, and her sunhat is just the right amount of flair to make it more fun than professional.
Leandra Medine
We can't help but swoon over Leandra Medine's white and red embroidered dress. It's a throw-on-and-go look that packs a powerful punch.
Candice Huffine
Candice's fringe-sleeved romper would be a great choice for any day of the week, but the star dressed it up with some platform sandals and a black belt.
Mindy Kaling
Mindy kept cool in the sun by showing off her shoulders in an airy, patterned Shoshanna dress.
Ruth Wilson
The Affair actress dressed down her culottes with a breezy white tank and some wedge sandals.
