This dress trend paired with closed-toe flats in this color is *the* summer outfit of 2026.

      Few things are as stylish as an Elsa Hosk ensemble, and any fashion editor would agree. She frequently merges several trendy elements into one outfit with remarkable ease. The latest summer styles she integrated resulted in a simple look that I highly recommend emulating.

      To start, the summer 2026 dress trend that Hosk showcased was the sleep dress. If you're curious about why sleep dresses are being worn outside, let me clarify. The term refers to loose-fitting, unstructured summer dresses adorned with charming, vintage-inspired details like ruffles, bows, and eyelets. If you had to sleep in a dress, this style would be a comfortable choice. While they are often white (as Hosk's was), they certainly don't have to be.

      With her puff-sleeve sleep dress, Hosk complemented it with a trend in closed-toe shoes (apologies to sandals) that I want to highlight: bright blue flats. While it might seem particular, ocean-inspired shades like aquamarine and cerulean are a significant color trend this summer, and flat shoes have become a popular way to incorporate it.

      Scroll down to view Hosk's sleep-dress-and-blue-flats outfit (along with another recent appearance where she sported the sleep-dress trend) and find similar styles to try for yourself.
