5 Celebrity Styles in Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses have always been associated with hippie culture, when the free-loving girls of the seventies popularised the full-length, flowy dresses that reflected the uninhibited culture then. Made of lightweight material and often teamed with sandals and wavy hair, maxi dresses have withstood the test of time and remained as part of a modern, casual attire.

Celebrities are also often seen in maxi dresses in their downtime - some even turning up for events in them thanks to dressier versions of the maxi that veer into gown territory. If that isn't a testament to how versatile the maxi dress is.

With maxi dress options aplenty online these days, it is only a matter of which celebrity look to steal.

Take your pick from these five celebs:

1. Lauren Conrad

After leaving her reality TV show The Hills, celebrity fashion designer continues sharing her style tips with us. Here, she pairs a turquoise ombre maxi dress with her trademark wavy blonde hair and sunny smile. Against her healthy California tan, the dress evokes all kinds of urges to hit the beach.

2. Nicole Richie

A boho-chic list cannot be complete without Nicole Richie. The celebrity designer showed up in a turquoise floral maxi dress with a loose up-do to match. Her smoky eye makeup not only enhances the colour of her dress, it also edges up her ethereal look.

3. Miranda Kerr

The Australian Victoria's Secret model has always been known for her ladylike, polished style that occasionally brings a new spin to classics. Here, Miranda sticks with what works best for her: simplicity. Her dreamy white maxi dress brings out her golden tan, while her diamond earrings and Old Hollywood curls add glamour to her look.

4. Blake Lively

Is it a gown or a maxi dress? This burgundy chiffon dress Blake Lively wore to the Cannes 2014 red carpet certainly hits all the right notes on both counts, with its geometric neckline and pleats. For a red carpet event, dress up with some sparkly embellishments such as a pair of sequinned stilettos or dangly statement earrings, then pull your hair up into a sleek, polished up-do.

5. Alexandra Roach

For a girly - and slightly edgy - twist, do as Alexandra Roach did for the 2013 Glamour Women of The Year Awards, and pair a floaty creamy yellow maxi dress with smoky eye makeup and a chic bob cut.
