Every now and again, a fashion trend comes along that just entrances me. Long, romantic, flowy ombre dresses are that trend today.
Elie Saab is leading the charge, but he’s not the only designer to make it happen. Emanuel Ungaro, Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, and Amanda Wakeley are all playing along.
My favorite ombre look ever was Lily Collins. Pure romance.

There’s also Taylor in this killer number. Can I be Elie Saab’s new muse/dressform? PRETTY PLEASE?

Some celebs clearly have a love affair with ombre dresses – see Kerry Washington (click for full size):

While no celeb that I know of has worn it, this dress is my current wishlist item:
(To be fair, this is Halston Heritage and Jaimie Alexander is also wearing Halston Heritage, so it’s celeb-adjacent.) Somebody give me $445 more disposable income so I can make this happen!

I can’t stop staring at these beautiful dresses. If I had anywhere to wear them, I’d want to buy them all for myself! The Ciara one on the bottom-left is my favorite.
