Reformation Pike Satin Dress

This dress is sleek, chic, and so perfect for fall and winter wedding vibes. Whether you're going out on a classy dinner with your girlfriends on a bachelorette trip, or you're getting ready for the toast at your rehearsal dinner, I love this satin bridal look! It's honestly the definition of "simplicity is elegance"!

BHLDN Pearl Drop-Waist Mini Dress

Maybe I'm biased because BHLDN is where I got my wedding dress, but they truly have some of the most classy and fun options out there that also aren't exorbitant in price. This dress is under $500, and would make for the perfect Bachelorette party dress! It's chic, on-trend, and so fun with the short, tulle skirt and pearl detailing.

Lilysilk The Vivi Knit Dress

Coworkers throwing you a bridal shower? This demure little number is perfect for those more modest bridal moments. You still get a fun, flirty, off-the-shoulder moment, but the tea length skirt adds a buttoned-up vibe that's perfectly appropriate. While this looks great with a pair of strappy heels, I could also see this knit number looking amazing with some tall brown boots in the fall!

Abercrombie Off-The-Shoulder Long-Sleeve Mini Dress

Having an intimate courthouse elopement? Looking for a lowkey afterparty dress? Whatever the occasion, this Abercrombie option fits the bill! I love the elegant off-the-shoulder sleeves — it gives you a great way to show off your jewelry. Plus, the mini dress will let you dance all night long to celebrate your officiated love!

Dôen Jessica Dress

This dress is that is giving vintage bridal in a unique, not-so-typical way. The contrasting black lace juxtaposes the white really well, and makes it less overtly bridal, so you can definitely wear it again! Add a vintage satin drawstring bag to really go with the throwback look!

Dôen Donetta Dress

The bridal dress of my dreams! It reaches all of the categories you could want: midi, silk, and has a beautiful bridal bow! Can't you just imagine this with a fur coat overtop for the fall and winter?! It would be truly heavenly. Wear this one for an intimate bridal event, or even a rehearsal dinner.

Reformation X Kacey Musgraves Dress

Kacey Musgraves just gets it. Her collab with Reformation was absolutely amazing, and when I saw this dress I immediately knew it would be perfect for anything bridal related. From the puff sleeves, to the lace, to the bows on the sides — it's perfection! I could 100% see this one looking incredible as a courthouse wedding option!

Abercrombie Sequin Squareneck Mini Dress

Having a GNO to celebrate your upcoming nuptials? This sequin mini dress is the perfect way to say, "Buy me a shot — I'm getting married." Whether you're having a summer soiree or a winter night on the town, it's versatile enough to match all of your bachelorette party needs!

House of CB Mesh Dress

If you're wanting a sexier option for a Bachelorette dress then this one is definitely for you! It has a more form-fitting cut with the mesh fabric and corseted bodice. Honestly, this is a 10/10 for me — I just know it's gonna look so good as we head into the fall and winter seasons!

Abercrombie & Fitch Strapless Dress

She's chic, she's beauty, and she's grace. I love the elevated and luxurious look of this bridal outfit — AND, it's on sale! To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. This dress with a dainty clutch and slingback heel would be perfection for a reception dress!

Reformation Tetty Dress

Can I get a little commotion for the dress? This Reformation mini will have you ending your reception with a bang! The long, mesh sleeves paired with the feathered bottom makes for SUCH a fun afterparty bridal outfit! Plus, you won't have to worry about sweating too much on the dance floor with the mini skirt and the lighter sleeves. Win-win!

Dynamite Clothing Tweed Dress

I'm convinced every bride needs a tweed, mini dress for bridal season — they go well for so many different occasions. I even own one right now just because I find them so cute and wearable. For this dress, I would style with ballet flats, and a sweater over the shoulders for very French look! I can totally picture this at your bridal shower brunch where all your mom's BFFs can't stop complimenting you!

Reformation Fitz Two Piece

This is casual piece that makes you want to be a bride for just a bit longer... If I were to get married again, then this would be high up on my list since it's a two piece. You can wear it separately or together to really embrace the whole "white" and "bridal" theme no matter the setting!

Reformation Jeany Silk Dress

Another great contender for a rehearsal dinner or reception dress from Reformation! This pairing with the fur coat and mesh, black heels is divine! It' giving the most wonderful White Christmas vibes that would be so ideal with anyone having a winter wedding. Grab this chic, classy bridal outfit ASAP!

Bridal Accessories

Anthropologie Lucy Satin Pearl Bag

I love, love, love this bag. I haven't seen a purse scream "bridal" more than this! It would make for the most amazing day-of bag, or simply your bag to carry for any bridal occasion. Plus, for $110 that's a fairly good deal for how much wear you'll get out of it.

Cuyana Mini Bow Bag

Looking for something a little less showy as the pearl option? I love this understated option from Cuyana! The bow top and gold chain combo are so gorgeous together! Plus, pebbled Italian leather is gonna last you way longer than you big day!

Reformation Natasha Heels

For any bridal events, I would opt for these heels, because they are simple, clean-cute, super bridal, and very easy to wear with almost any outfit option! They are so reminiscent of 90s vintage heels that I'm constantly searching for on Ebay. I might purchase these just for a good date-night heel.

Dolce Vita Reyes Mary Jane

Looking for some flats to pair with your bridal outfits? These Dolce Vitas are perfection! The square toe and Mary Jane style are so on-trend! Plus, the profile is simple enough to go with just about every look you could throw together!

ViBi VENEZiA Bow Mary Janes

Azazie A-Line Pleated Mikado Floor-Length Dress

This gorgeous $169 gown is totally wedding appropriate and oh-so elegant. It boasts a skirt that lands at floor length, a unique asymmetrical neckline, and a long leg slit all in a soft, non-stretchy material that feels just as great as it looks. The rich grape purple color will make you feel stunning! This dress zips up conveniently in the back.

Baltic Born Arianna Maxi Dress

You get the best of both worlds with this affordable (just $68!) MOTB dress. While the long sleeves have a good amount of coverage, the flattering v-neck and high leg slit allow you to show more skin. This flowy red number is made from a super soft and stretchy fabric, and has smocked detailing around the waistline to give your body definition.

Mac Duggal Long Sleeve Sequin Trumpet Gown

This dress just screams elegance! It's as sequined and stunning as can be. The long skirt flaunts a slight, sweeping train while the neckline is fairly no-frills. This neutral pick ($598) is fully lined for maximum all-day comfort.

Dessy Collection One-Shoulder Satin Gown

The knotted design on this $261 gown draws visual interest and flatters your figure beyond compare. The trendy one-shoulder look will also make you stand out without overshadowing the bride's get-up. This design includes a long maxi hem that grazes the floor. It's fitted around the bodice and slightly flares out past the waist, but isn't quite a traditional a-line silhouette.

David's Bridal Studio Cap Sleeve Allover Sequin Sheath Dress

Want to be drenched in shiny sequins? This is the dress for you. It has cap sleeves, an open back, and a sultry leg slit that lets you step and move with ease. Additionally, the fabric has some stretch to it and secures in the back with a discreet zipper. This pick is available on sale for 60 (was $200).

La Femme Off The Shoulder Trumpet Gown

This $328 dress is all about showing some skin – not a bad thing for a wedding, as long as it's done tastefully! This elegant off-the-shoulder design is crafted from a satin-y fabric, so it has some shine to it. It's most fitted around the bust and tummy before falling to a full-length trumpet skirt.

Mac Duggal Beaded Stripe Mesh A-Line Gown

These playful see-through mesh sleeves are everything. The stripes (along with some pretty glamorous sequins) also play a role in shaping your final MOTB look! This long dress ($598) is gathered around an empire waist to elongate your figure further.

Alfred Sung One-Shoulder A-Line Gown

This a-line skirt on this $239 dress gives your look much-needed breathing and moving room. It has a more polished look, thanks to the smooth fabric and waist sash. You'd never guess it by looking at it, but this pick also has pockets! The gorgeous green fabric is non-stretchy but looks so flattering when worn.

Dress The Population Janette Sequin Long Sleeve Mermaid Gown

There is truly no shortage of shininess with this one. It's the ultimate piece to match with other accessories and shoes, depending on the wedding theme. This $438 dress has a boat neck that falls to a v-shaped back as well as modest long sleeves that land right above the wrists. The high leg slit breaks up the look perfectly, too!

Alex Evenings Embellished Sleeve Knot Front Jersey Gown

This $199 dress has dark navy, drapey sleeves with sequin details, as well as a striking knot detail at the waistline. Since it's naturally flowy, the slightly stretchy material it's made from only amps up the comfort levels.

Talking to Vanity Fair for her newest film Lee, Kate Winslet revealed one project she wishes fans asked about more is Iris. The 2001 film stars Kate as a young Iris Murdoch against Judi Dench's older counterpart. And for Kate, nothing was more terrifying than working with such a wonderful actress.

"People don’t really ask me about Iris. It’s such a delicate film," she says. "It was the first thing I had done after having my daughter. Going to work with a baby, I’m playing Iris Murdoch, looking to Judi Dench’s older Iris Murdoch — I was sh—ting myself."

Considering how nervous I get when I meet my heroes, I can only imagine what it was like to meet Dame Judi Dench. Talk about a dream! Another film Kate loves is Revolutionary Road, and not just because she got to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The thing that people say is, 'You got to work with Leo again.' Then they go off on the whole Leo tangent, which I totally understand," she says of the film, which follows an ambitious couple who find themselves trapped in the reality of 1950s suburbia. "But Revolutionary Road — f—king hell, it just knocked us all sideways. Unbelievably difficult material. I was very proud of that film and what Leo and I were able to create as Frank and April. It was so brutal."

The process for getting Lee into the world sounds equally brutal, considering Kate started working on it over a decade ago. As producer, Kate tells Vanity Fair she doesn't mind the fact she's done more for the film than if she only had an acting credit. "That has felt very necessary for this film. But it’s also just really important to me," she says. "It’s important to me that people know that it’s out there and might feel compelled to go and see it."

Because it turns out, commercial success or stardom on its own doesn't actually help your movie get made! "It doesn’t matter who you are," she says. "No one’s going to go, 'Oh, I’ll just back that pony because she was in Titanic.' It doesn’t happen that way, and I never expected that. That’s really important to say."

"I've gotten older and I’ve learned more and felt more confident in myself about whether or not I could actually do it," she adds. "It’s not something I would’ve done had I not felt so passionately about the subject, and Lee was just—she wouldn’t let me go."
