29 Dresses the Coolest Women You Know Will Wear to Weddings This Fall and Winter
As a lover and connoisseur of both fall fashion and party attire, I like to think that my skills as an editor really shine in the category of today's roundup: fall wedding guest dresses. Whether it's black tie or cocktail, elegant and understated or showstopping and fashion-forward, I pride myself on being able to find something for anyone, but typically, it ends up more like several things for everyone.
I must admit that this season's crop of frocks made it almost too easy to deliver 29 seriously stunning options. I could have included so much more, but for fear of overwhelming people, I opted for a more curated selection that really showcased the coolest of the cool. Whether you have a wedding coming up or are planning to manifest one for the right piece, simply keep scrolling to shop the best wedding guest dress options for fall (and winter!) 2024.
My sister just bought this, and I'm counting down the days until I steal it from her.
This dress—which now comes in five colors—is viral for a reason.
It's not for everyone, but on the right person at the right event, it could be perfect.
Kendall Jenner convinced me that navy is it right now.
The draping on the shoulders provides the perfect amount of drama.
I have this in the long version already, but I think I need this too.
Velvet will carry you well into winter weddings too.
I've seen this dress in person, and it's seriously stunning.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
