This is how the It-Girl styles a fancy dress for daytime wear.

      Dressing up can be enjoyable, but at times, you may prefer a more relaxed appearance. This is a common issue for many in the fashion world: the desire to seem effortless, yet few manage to achieve it, particularly with dresses. Making them appear more casual can be quite a challenge. Dua Lipa, however, has mastered this effortless style. Recently, she was seen in Brazil sporting an outfit that was both elegant and cool. She donned a sleek satin slip dress, teamed with knee-high boots and a casual trench coat from The Row layered over it. Additionally, she carried a gold and black bag from Schiaparelli. Her ensemble exuded a cool vibe. She utilized the styling technique of juxtaposition. While pairing a lace-trim satin dress with a trench coat isn't entirely new, her look served as a perfect reminder that you can always dress down a dress. If you’ve been looking to make your dresses less formal, keep reading to recreate Dua’s style and find similar pieces.
