High Low Dresses

Jessica Alba looked chic in her black-on-black layers in Santa Monica, but what really caught our eye was her new black and white colorblock bag. Jessica's oversize two-tone leather Chloé tote ($1,995) really popped against her black high-low dress, black leggings, and black Surface to Air caged sandals. The actress finished off her low-key look with celeb-approved Westward Leaning shades ($275), a simple pendant necklace, and a few bracelets. Re-create this monochromatic outfit with a few closet staples — black high-low dress, black leggings, and caged sandals — then reach for a black and white colorblock tote to really nail her downtown-cool style.

Olivia Munn stopped by David Letterman's NYC studios, but before she headed inside, she posed in her cobalt racerback Raquel Allegra dress ($295) that's sexy up top and ladylike on bottom. The actress cinched her waist with a matching belt for definition and prettied her feet via chunky wooden platform ankle-strap sandals. Longer-hemlined dresses are all the rage these days, but we love that Olivia's choice maintained a bit of sass thanks to the scooped bodice. Re-create Olivia's latest look by shopping this similar cobalt high-low dress from Express ($60) and pairing it with equally chunky platform sandals. Then swap out the heels for flat sandals for a breezy city stroll.

Khloe Kardashian attended an event in LA wearing this exact red-hot high low dress by Norma Kamali ($275) with a chunky gold chain necklace and nude platform Christian Louboutin Mary Janes. High low hemlines are all the rage right now, and we love how the deep red hue adds a touch of sophistication to the trend. If you haven't gotten in on the high low craze, what are you waiting for? Simultaneously get in on Hollywood's little red dress obsession by scoring Khloe's exact red dress to pair with everything from pumps to sandals to booties. Then come Fall, wear it with tights and boots for an equally chic cold-weather version.

Last night Katy Perry checked out The XX at the Henry Fonda Theatre in LA and on her way out, showed off her concert style. The singer started with a girlie floral high-low dress, then turned it on its head with Western-inspired pieces. A black floppy hat with silver metal detailing, a Western-style belt, and black flat ankle boots toughened up her feminine dress, then long silver necklaces, a silver cuff bracelet, and an Alexander Wang crossbody bag finished off her nighttime look. Next time you hit up a show in your city, look to Katy by pairing your sweet floral dresses with edgier items to create an eclectic ensemble just like Katy's. Shop similar pieces below to get started.
