5 floral dresses to celebrate spring
The start of spring marks the time when fashion turns to brighter colours, looser silhouettes and blooming prints. Before you dismiss a floral dress as too hard to wear, have a look at the interesting ways these five celebrities do spring flower fashion.
1. Helen Mirren
The detailed floral pattern embroidered on the lace gives a soft, garden look that is both ladylike and eye-catching.
2. Meryl Streep
Meryl’s bold choice of colour is well matched with a quiet, sophisticated pattern. Her choice of style is also very forgiving if worn on larger frames.
3. Judi Dench
Who said that floral had to be colourful? Judi proves that there is still space for black pieces in a spring wardrobe with this kaftan-like dress.
4. Kerri Anne Kennerley
Kerri makes a daring statement with this short, pink number. We say forget the rules and if you’ve got it, flaunt it! However, if you’re feeling a little shy, a white or pale blue shawl could make this outfit more modest.
5. Oprah
This dark and dramatic evening dress proves that floral prints can be seriously graceful. The flowy shape of the skirt is effortlessly elegant and paired with the lightweight sleeves, the ensemble is low key, yet glamourous.
