Instead of Strapless Dresses, Fashion People Are Wearing This Elegant Trend to Summer Weddings

Remember what happened in the fashion world back in April 2023? Of course you do. It's when Sofia Richie married Elliot Grainge in the so-called royal wedding of the year. Held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, the festivities drew worldwide attention. Now, a little more than two years later, Sofia and Elliot are back in Europe—except this time, as wedding guests.

In Monte Carlo, Monaco, the couple attended the nuptials of Charlotte Bickley and Charlie Meller. For the black-tie soirée, Sofia wore a striking Schiaparelli blue gown with a halter neckline. I personally avoid wearing strapless dresses to weddings because they're prone to sliding down on the dance floor, and now Sofia's choice has further convinced me to sideline the silhouette. A halter dress is equal parts elegant and practical, so it's really a no-brainer for weddings this summer.
