This season’s resortwear isn’t chasing shock value — it’s refining what works. Whether it’s breezy whites, sun-drenched neutrals, or poetic florals, Resort ’25–’26 leans into a polished, effortless aesthetic. It’s about looking pulled-together without trying too hard, something celebrities are known for.
And it’s not just for jet-set escapades or yacht-bound weekends. This new wave of resort style moves effortlessly from alfresco dinners to gallery strolls, countryside weddings to city brunches. The silhouettes are adaptable, the palettes calming, and the energy is relaxed, but always polished. Resortwear this season isn’t about where you’re going. It’s about how you show up.
Celebrity Resort ’25–’26 Trends
There’s confidence in simplicity: Priyanka Chopra’s crisp white Ralph Lauren halter dress, Emma Stone’s delicate Louis Vuitton boho and Julianne Moore’s fluid leather maxi all speak to a wardrobe designed for sunlit dinners, garden parties and soft luxury moments. Even when a look veers dramatic, like Rosamund Pike’s Dior lace or Sharon Stone’s golden silk, there’s restraint in the styling and a deep respect for fabric and form.

This is resortwear for people who dress to feel good, not just to be seen. Below, we break down the key looks and microtrends defining the moment, straight from the front rows and tennis games and garden soirées of summer’s most stylish events.
Priyanka Chopra: The Power of Crisp White
At the Wimbledon tennis championships in July, Priyanka Chopra stunned in a crisp white Eldred Cotton Pique Day Dress by Ralph Lauren. The elegant look featured a halter-style bodice, collared neckline, cinched waist, and an ankle-length pleated skirt. She accessorized with Bvlgari jewelry, Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses, and white strappy sandals.
If resortwear had a uniform, it would be crisp, confident, and blindingly white. Priyanka Chopra delivers exactly that in her ethereal Ralph Lauren ensemble—effortless, minima and impossibly glamorous. Clean lines and tonal textures are key here: think structured linen, gauzy cotton and tailored silhouettes that breathe. It’s vacation dressing with polish.
Style takeaway: Crisp, fresh, and camera-ready.
Emma Stone: Resort Boho Gets a Romantic Update
Emma Stone is still having a boho moment. And we’re here for it.
At the recent Louis Vuitton Resort 2026 show, she wore a tiered blue maxi dress that felt like the evolution of festival fashion: folkloric, romantic, but unmistakably elevated. The delicate blue floral print is soft, photogenic and perfectly suited for the French Riviera ambiance.
There’s a quiet confidence in the way this look lands — no fringe overload, no heavy accessories. No need for loud embellishments or over-styled extras — just soft movement, subtle craftsmanship, and a silhouette that feels as relaxed as it is refined. It’s the kind of dress you wear when you plan to linger over rosé, soak in the coastal breeze and let the scenery do the rest.
Style takeaway: Resort boho gets a romantic luxury edit. Opt for quality over quantity in pattern and detail.
Sienna Miller: Feminine Florals for Summer
No one wears prints like Sienna Miller. Long hailed as a boho muse, she continues to reinvent the genre — this time with layered florals, bold motifs, and fluid movement. In a season dominated by clean lines, prints offer a burst of spontaneity and personality.
Sienna brought feminine summer flair to Wimbledon 2025 in a romantic Alessandra Rich floral minidress. The cream dress featured a delicate purple and orange rosette print, a drop waist silhouette, and ruffle accents at the neckline and hips. Puff sleeves and a small black bow at the collar added a vintage-inspired touch.
Style takeaway: Sienna’s idea of florals and tailoring feels fresh and flirty. Ideal for courtside chic or garden party elegance.
Joey King & Sharon Stone: Mustard & Camel Tones
Max Mara, known for its distinct camel coats, is now also adding a golden mustard yellow to the mix. For its Resort 2026 collection, the brand tapped into colors that reflect the volcanic energy of Naples, but the mustard tones, seen here on Joey King and Sharon Stone, were a surprise addition for me and a unique contrast to the camel I’m used to.
The mustard hues reflect the sun-baked architecture, ancient frescoes and golden-hour tones of Naples and its surroundings. It was incorporated into printed silks and separates. Sometimes. it was mixed with deeper browns or paired with cooler tones (like chambray or ivory) for contrast.
Style takeaway: I’m not telling you to go and buy Max Mara. But maybe work a little mustard yellow into your wardrobe, and contrast it with a unique ivory or brown tone.
Rosamund Pike: Modern Lace with an Edge
Once considered the domain of bridalwear and Victorian nostalgia, lace is stepping confidently into the resortwear spotlight. Rosamund Pike’s look at Dior proves how powerful the transformation can be. Her structured, sheer dress may appear delicate at first glance, but look closer and you’ll find quiet defiance woven into every thread.
This is not lace designed to disappear into the background. It’s graphic, architectural and deliberate. The crisp silhouette, belted waist and structured panels ground the airy fabric, giving it a sense of modernity and purpose. It walks the line between ethereal and assertive.
Style takeaway: Use lace to elevate your wardrobe’s softer pieces, but ground it with shape, polish or contrast. Think tailored cuts, tonal layering and accessories that add attitude.
Julianne Moore: Leather as a Summer Statement
When in doubt, wear leather. Julianne Moore defied summer expectations in a sleek black leather midi dress by Khaite. Her breezy styling, including a woven bag and minimalist sandals, made the look feel seasonally appropriate while staying true to her signature edge. Black in July? Julianne makes a compelling case.
The all-black look proves that leather is the ultimate wildcard in resortwear. Unexpected? Maybe. But it’s also luxe, directional and strikingly modern. Paired with sharp tailoring and minimalist accessories, this look rewrites the rules of summer dressing.
Style takeaway: Leather doesn’t need to be heavy. Look for lightweight treatments, cropped silhouettes and soft finishes.
