This dress trend paired with closed-toe flats in this color is the ultimate summer outfit for 2026.
Few things can match the style of an Elsa Hosk outfit, and any fashion editor will attest to this. She frequently blends several current trends into one ensemble, achieving it in a remarkably effortless manner. The latest summer trends she merged resulted in an easy outfit that I highly suggest you replicate.
To begin with, the summer 2026 dress trend Hosk sported was a sleep dress. If you’re curious about the appeal of wearing sleep dresses outdoors, let me clarify. This term refers to loose-fitting, unstructured summer dresses adorned with charming, vintage-inspired features like ruffled edges, bows, and eyelet fabrics. If you were to sleep in a dress, this style would certainly be a fitting choice. While they're typically white (as was Hosk's), they don’t have to be.
Complementing her puff-sleeve sleep dress, Hosk embraced the closed-toe shoe trend (sorry, sandals) that I want to ensure is on your radar: bright blue flats. This may seem somewhat specific, but shades reminiscent of the ocean, like aquamarine and cerulean, are a prominent color theme this summer, and flat shoes are one of the ways this trend is being embraced.
