White skirts are in vogue across London, Hollywood, and New York—celebrities can't get enough of them.

      If you're similar to me, the arrival of warmer weather signifies an essential change in your wardrobe: it's time to put away the denim (at least for now) and let a white cotton poplin skirt take the spotlight. This lightweight and breathable piece is effortlessly sophisticated and becomes the foundation of my summer wardrobe from April to September. Its adaptability is unmatched—it's just as suitable when paired with a tee and sandals as it is when dressed up with heels and a tailored shirt. As we approach the peak of the warm season, I've been looking for innovative ways to revitalize my most frequently worn skirt. Naturally, I sought inspiration from my favorite style icons: celebrities. Whether for casual daytime attire or elegant evening outfits, several fashionable stars are making a compelling case for the white full skirt this season. From Laura Harrier’s effortless minimalism to Alexa Chung’s coastal interpretation and Tracee Ellis Ross’s bold, avant-garde style, here’s how these style icons are putting their own spin on this summer staple.

      3 Celebrity White-Skirt Outfits I'm Excited About This Season

      1. Laura Harrier

      Style Notes: This photo of Laura Harrier sitting on a table, her white cotton skirt beautifully flowing over her legs, is etched in my memory. It actually inspired me to buy a white cotton skirt initially. Emulating her minimalist, sun-kissed style, I plan to recreate her look this summer by pairing my light skirt with a matching strapless top and simple black leather flip-flops.

      2. Alexa Chung

      Style Notes: Adding a coastal flair to this classic city staple, Alexa Chung styled her white cotton skirt with a cozy navy knit, layered with a leather jacket and completing the look with Uggs for comfort. By starting with a voluminous base, she achieved a relaxed and effortless look—an elegant balance of sophistication and ease.
