Nara Smith Just Wore the Classic Dress Trend That's Beyond Reproach

Everyone who's anyone is in New York right now (except me). Celebrities are flocking to the Big Apple with the US Open continuing until Sunday and fashion week just beginning. Among them are Nara Smith and Lucky Blue Smith, who have been photographed at both the tennis tournament and the runway shows. I particularly liked what Nara wore to a party last night: Calvin Klein's Brushed Wool Blend Strapless Dress ($499).

Nara's sleek strapless column dress is reminiscent of '90s minimalism. You can't go wrong with the tried-and-true, simple, stylish dress silhouette. When in doubt, less is more. I'll copy this look by styling my column dress with pared-back jewelry, unfussy accessories, and a polished updo. Scroll down to see Nara Smith's new outfit and shop similar dresses.

Associate Director, Fashion News

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.
