Selena Gomez Found the Fool-Proof Outfit Formula for an Airy Summer Slip Dress

Selena Gomez has perfected the arka of styling summer’s hero piece: the breezy slip dress.

On May 24, Gomez shared a roundup of her first week in London, where she fit in a quick girl’s trip amid filming the next season of Only Murders in the Building. While her slideshow included an on-set moment in Mabel Mora’s wardrobe, it also featured a peak at her travel wardrobe while sipping tea and sightseeing with friends. In slide two, Gomez posed in front of Jean-Georges at The Connaught Hotel wearing a simple white slip dress with a soft v-neck cardigan in the same ivory shade.

If you’ve been wondering how to style a breezy slip dress this summer, look no further. Her slightly oversized cropped cardigan added an effortless touch to an overtly feminine ensemble, while her white woven ballet flats added texture to the monochrome look.

This is not just a chic all-white ensemble—though it’s obviously a chic option for newlyweds and soon-to-be brides)—but it’s also surefire outfit formula for any slip dress in your closet! Woven black flats can keep a black slip dress and cardigan from skewing too somber, while a tomato red ensemble is particulary on trend for 2026. You can even apply this idea to a polka dot dress, opting to match your shoes and cardigan to either color in the pattern. If you’re going that route, I’d just suggest sticking to one color for your accoutrements to keep the look streamlined.
