The Wedding Guest Dress Trend That’s All Over My Timeline

From Taylor Swift to Dua Lipa, this has been quite a year for weddings. In the midst of all of the lovey-dovey gatherings, I've noticed a trend start to emerge: whether at a beachside ceremony or a garden nuptial, the best-dressed guests are adding a touch of attitude to their looks with twirl-worthy fringe.Sometimes the frilly detail anchors a micro mini, adding just the right amount of coverage for a polished look. Other times, it's broken up into tiers, creating a mélange of textured ruffles on the hem of a maxi dress. Either way, it's a go-to for some of the most stylish women in the world. Zendaya made heads turn in a Christian Cowan LBD earlier this summer. On the other side of the color spectrum, Dakota Johnson was seen at the Cannes Film Festival last summer in a bubblegum pink Gucci number.AdvertisementADVERTISEMENTThere are multiple ways to incorporate the trend into your dressier moments. In our Summer 2026 Lookbook photographed by Nigel Barker and Miss J on the Creative vision, model Mercedes Yvette Scelba-Shorte was the best-dressed guest in a silky dress layered with a fringe sash (pictured above). I have even seen some of the biggest street style stars turn a fringe scarf into a belt, arguably one of the most versatile ways to wear the celebrated detail.And the beautiful fringe looks don't stop there. Visit any one of your favorite websites and you'll see that fringe fever is in full effect, from Net-A-Porter's luxe edit of tasseled designs to Nordstrom's wide range of options, there's something for everyone.Whether you're looking for a little bit of flounce or head-to-toe tinsel, find the perfect fringe wedding guest dress below.AdvertisementADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementADVERTISEMENT
