The 9 Best Affordable Celeb Dresses of Summer 2019 (So Far)
Celebrity style can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, they can showcase pieces and trends that are majorly inspiring, but on the other hand, the fact that they're often inaccessibly priced can be a real letdown. So when we find pieces that are both inspiring and more affordable, that's where the magic happens. Luckily, all of our favorite well-dressed women, from Kate and Pippa Middleton to Freida Pinto, have stepped out in wallet-friendly pieces this summer.
For instance, Irina Shayk led us on to a $98 Reformation dress that immediately skyrocketed to the top of our wish list. If you think the dress is a bit too short, Shayk offered a smart styling hack: Simply wear biker shorts underneath. The sisters Middleton, Emily Ratajkowski, Hilary Duff, and others also wore amazingly cute dresses recently, so scroll down to shop them all.
Attending Wimbledon, Pippa Middleton styled cult Danish brand Ganni to perfection with a white bag and coordinating sandals.

Leave it to Queen Letizia to find the chicest dress from Zara's entire sale section and make it look royalty-worthy.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
