Gauzy maxi dresses and lingerie-inspired slips come to mind when you think of summer dresses, but lightweight fabrics aren’t your only option. Unexpected materials can add oomph to even the simplest outfits, even on the warmest days; just ask Kendall Jenner. Currently enjoying a break onboard a yacht in the Mediterranean, the modeling star updated her Instagram this afternoon with snapshots of herself in the final look of Daniel Lee’s spring 2021 collection for Bottega Veneta. Lee’s towel-knit gown in a bold shade of seagrass was delightful when worn by runway star Adwoa Aboah, but Jenner—and her dreamy backdrop—took the piece into fresh territory.
Accessorized with a pair of Agmes’ golden wishbone earrings and Monica Vinader’s chain link charm bracelet, Jenner looked the part of carefree summer muse. The textured material of the Bottega dress and its striking color made it pop in every picture, while the puffy pom-pom details Lee used to embellish the neckline and pockets added a playful final touch. Tactile enjoyment was at the core of the designer’s vision for the season, and celebrities have had fun incorporating those ideas into their wardrobes. Some have embraced a full-on look à la Jenner (see other Lee devotees like Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Hailey Bieber), while others have added a plush version of the brand’s Cassette bag or Dream sandals into their outfits. Both cases illustrate the impact of statement materials.
Though Jenner isn’t averse to traditional summer fare—just last week she was sharing bikini selfies—her latest look offered a new take on what to wear when it’s warm. With its cozy texture, bold color, and ability to be tossed into a suitcase without having to worry about ironing, the Bottega dress was an ideal choice for yacht hopping, lounging around, and commanding the attention of the internet.
