It's You—You're the Drama: Rich Dresses Under $200 That'll Leave No Question
Is it weird for an almost 30-year-old to reference TikTok in her headlines? Well, too bad. I might not have the social media prowess of an 18-year-old, but I do know a good quip when I hear one. You already know the viral sound that everyone is making TikToks to. Scarlet Envy from RuPaul's Drag Race says, "Is it me? Am I the drama? I don't think I'm the drama. Maybe I am."
Well, when it comes to fashion, there's no harm in being the center of attention. I handpicked 38 dresses below that simply scream d-r-a-m-a thanks to their sultry silhouettes, bright colors, and eye-catching prints. Scroll down to shop my favorite statement dresses.
Sultry Silhouettes
This tank dress would also look super cute with a cropped cardigan.
I love the combination of the one-sleeve silhouette and the sultry cutout.
Bright Colors
You can guarantee people will see you coming in this bright-yellow number from Zara.
H&M always knows how to do an affordable interpretation of the season's best trends.
Eye-Catching Prints
Yes, checkerboard prints are still having a moment in the spotlight.
The next best thing to booking a Hawaiian vacation? Wearing a tropical-printed dress, of course.

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.
