Not too long ago, in March 2012, Ashlee Simpson served as bridesmaid for a friend's wedding in Palm Springs. The term "bridesmaid dress" usually makes us cringe, but Ashlee was a breath of fresh air in her soft-hued, printed halter gown, which she dressed up with a long pearl necklace. With wedding season in our midst, Ashlee has inspired us to find equally gorgeous halter gowns that can also be worn as bridesmaid dresses for all types of receptions, from fancy to beachy. Then when the party is over, you can rewear all of them for other dressy soirees, including a wedding you're not a part of. Step inside to see eight of our halter-gown picks inspired by Ashlee Simpson, then be sure to check out other celebs as bridesmaids.

Opening Ceremony Fall 2012 Collection

For Opening Ceremony's Fall 2012 collection, designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim created a cozy collection inspired by the natural wonders of Patagonia. With a focus on textures and prints inspired by the great outdoors, the duo created a sporty luxe collection comprised of printed trousers, puffer coats, lace-inset sweatshirts, and body-con fleece dresses. Tempering the casual aesthetic were refined touches via leather trim, Mongolian fur, and metallic finishes. Meanwhile, the brand's accessory offerings ranged from round red sunglasses to chunky lace-up boots and chic printed loafers. The collection is definitely a slightly more mature take compared to their past collections, but nonetheless true to Humberto and Carol's whimsical cool style. Check out our top three looks below, then click the slideshow to see the complete collection.

  • We love this leather and tweed moto jacket. It's equal parts polish and tough girl, and perfect for pairing with cropped trousers and pleated midi skirts.
  • A dressy sweatshirt might come off as an oxymoron, but we can't resist this lace and fleece sweatshirt.
  • Car coats are a huge Fall trend. This rendition gives the trend a modern spin thanks to the bright cobalt leather trim.
