Laura Dern

A LOT of women wore black or navy to this event event, so this already sunny dress seemed even sunnier. Which, hello. You're in Palm Springs! You SHOULD be wearing something that could coordinate with a margarita.

Speaking of details, I assumed you'd really want to see it. I feel like this is one of those dresses that people float over to, and then try not to reach out and touch. I think the fabric might actually also have a lace-detailing, which I might not be super in-love-with under other circumstances, but this whole thing is just fun.

HELLO EVENING CLUTCHES. I'm excited to be reunited with you.
