Princess Catherine spreads ‘the Kate effect' in butter yellow
If the plan for Princess Catherine's return to royal duties was to steer attention away from her clothing, things couldn't be worse. Hosting a royal garden party at Buckingham Palace with Prince William, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall for 8000 guests, Catherine was on trend in a butter yellow dress from New Zealand designer Emilia Wickstead, with a matching hat by Irish milliner Philip Treacy. The outfit was last worn by Catherine in 2022, at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II, further demonstrating her status as an early adopter of key trends. Butter yellow was spread across collections last week in Sydney at Australian Fashion Week with Aje, Gary Bigeni and Nicol & Ford. At the spring 2025 international ready-to-wear shows, Chanel, Jacquemus, Zimmermann and Chloe all made liberal use of buttery yellow, which was named by interior designers Timothy Corrigan, Heidi Callier and Robin Standefer as the colour of 2025 in Vogue 's annual interior design trend report. 'Butter is the richer, more luminous cousin of cream,' says Melbourne stylist Prue Webb from personal dressing service The Wardrobe Edit. 'It's a delicate yellow with a hint of warmth that flatters, rather than washes out complexions. It's soft enough to work with plenty of skin tones and has more personality than beige and cream.' If you're not ready for a top-to-toe spring look like Catherine, Webb suggests swapping winter neutrals for butter yellow. 'A buttery top or knit is an easy way to lift your look while keeping things minimal and chic,' Webb says. 'It's a natural evolution from the ubiquitous beige and cream of the past few years. It feels playful and joyful, and we need that right now. 'It's also an unexpected complement to deeper tones like navy and rust, adding lightness.'

Not just any dress, of course, but something that feels just right.

Below, you'll find a collection of summer wedding guest dresses that do exactly that—elegant, modern, and made for making memories in the sunshine season. Aje's 'Reflection' dress is cut from plissé-crepe that cascades through the body in tiers, with a deep V-neckline that is mirrored at the back.

Maxi strap dress featuring a square neckline, and sheer layers embellished with a red floral print. Printed with vibrant flowers and cut from lustrous silk-satin.

This dress is cut from floral-print hammered-crepe and traced with flower-shaped appliqués and flouncy ruffles under the bust. A best seller in sage green, satin jacquard fabric. The perfect summer halter dress. The halter neck features functional ties and creates a flattering, subtle square neckline. Dotted with 3D florals along the slim straps, it has a one-shoulder design that hugs your curves before falling to a straight skirt. Designed with an artfully gathered bodice that highlights the bust and draws the eye inward. It's made from pink crepe and has a cold-shoulder neckline and smooth, figure-skimming skirt. Midweight chiffon fabric with ruffled trim, made of 100% recycled polyester. Crafted of a cotton blend, Staud's Joy sleeveless maxi dress is styled with a scoopneck and adjustable spaghetti straps.

Flattering strapless maxi slip dress in our silky soft satin fabric with thigh-high slit detail. Hand-embellished with clusters of paillettes and beads that resemble tiny flowers. Made from flowy silk-chiffon and has lace-up ties at the back to adjust the fit.

Featuring thin spaghetti straps that can be removed for an optional bandeau look. Finished with a concealed zipper and dual tie bows at the back. 3D tonal floral patterns with detachable and adjustable shoulder straps.

‘Tasmanian royalty' rules the Jordan Gogos runway
Rather than pander to celebrities, or have to pay them, designers at Australian Fashion Week in Sydney are enlisting high-profile friends to promote their shows. Celebrity cookbook writer Nigella Lawson looked on at Lee Mathews, while television personality Melissa Leong walked in Gary Bigeni's show. Radio host Carrie Bickmore sat front row at Aje and former Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart walked the runway for Bianca Spender. The enfant terrible of fashion week Jordan Gogos aimed higher, summoning the couple often referred to as the closest thing to royalty in Tasmania, excluding Queen Mary of Denmark. David Walsh the founder and owner of the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, dressed in Gogos's label Iordanes Spyridon Gogos to watch his wife Kirsha Kaechele model on the runway from the front row. 'It just made total sense for me because Kirsha is so theatrical, and she's got so many ideas,' says Gogos, a fan of Kaechele's creative defence of the male-free status of the controversial Ladies Lounge at Mona. At the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last March, Kaechele was inspired by Robert Palmer's 1980s music video Simply Irresistible to perform silent choreography alongside a group of performers in navy suits, red lipstick and pearls. For Gogos, Kaechele shimmied down the Carriageworks runway in a multicoloured coat dress with neon-trimmed knee-high spats, stopping in front of Walsh for more elaborate dance moves. 'I feel that everything she throws herself into from the deep end is authentic,' Gogos says. 'Also they've been collecting a bit of my stuff.' Gogos manipulates fibres into one-off creations for the Sotheby's crowd rather than the Shein set. Even his runway shows are art, with stiff patchwork pieces and rough quilting, giving the impression of a Muppet Show reboot with classical motifs ran by an alternative art collective. 'I was on the treadmill earlier wondering how I got into this vortex and feeling the excitement of being a part of this,' says Gogos, who made his fashion week debut in 2020. 'I remember seeing the fashion week schedule in 2019, the year before my first show, and thinking that there was a space for this. There was a space for what I do.'
