The It Girls Are Heading to Brunch—And Here's What They're Wearing
There's something about brunch that invites a little extra effort, whether you're sipping lattes in the West Village or catching up with friends over eggs and espresso martinis. And while the menu might change, one thing stays the same: the perfect outfit. Equal parts polished and effortless, the best brunch outfits strike a balance between looking like you tried just enough and feeling completely comfortable. Think crisp shirting, slouchy trousers, elevated denim, and maybe a pop of designer sunglasses for good measure. Need inspiration? Look no further than the off-duty wardrobes of style icons like Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and more, whose brunch-ready looks are a masterclass in laid-back luxury. Ahead, the brunch outfits every stylish woman needs this season—no reservations required. A Polka Dot Summer Aeon // Getty Images Hailey Bieber's polka-dot ensemble is a refined take on playful minimalism. She pairs high-waisted, cropped white leggings covered with bold black dots with a sleek, fitted black tank, finishing it off with slim sunnies, a go-to handbag, and a minimalist pair of flip-flops. It's a quietly confident outfit that proves the beauty mogul's mastery of elevated off-duty dressing. Polished Yet Playful BACKGRID Zendaya serves up ultra-chic elegance in this crisp, structured look—made even cooler with a pair of trending mesh shoes. It's a fresh, fashion-forward take on daytime dressing, perfect for sipping matcha at one of the city's chicest spots. Polished yet playful, this outfit proves that refined can still be fun. Cherry-Red Chic Aeon // Getty Images Light, breezy, and flirty, a red polka-dot dress is made for twirling between sips of bubbly while serving that classic, coquettecore charm. Add your favorite flats and go-to bag, and you're ready to turn heads while sipping on your latte. Effortless Bohemia TheStewartofNY // Getty Images A Monochromatic Moment Jacopo Raule // Getty Images Bella Hadid's combination of a white corset and coordinated jeans gives us the ultimate all-white outfit—sleek, polished, and effortlessly cool. Perfect for brunch, it's that flawless mix of structured and casual that lets you sip mimosas in off-duty model style. (Just be careful not to spill anything!) Who knew brunch could look this chic? Laid-back Luxe BACKGRID Jennifer Lopez nails the casual-chic aesthetic with wide-leg pants and an oversized, long-sleeved button-up. In other words, she's mastered the go-to brunch 'fit. It's a perfect mix of understated sophistication, letting her shine without trying too hard—making this look a total win for anyone who loves easy, elevated fashion. The Classic Go-To Raymond Hall // Getty Images In another brunch-ready look, Edgar-Jones demonstrates how an easy cardigan—like this pretty option from the Suzie Kondi x Ba&sh Hamptons collaboration—paired with tailored trousers is an effortless outfit formula that exudes relaxed polish, making it simple to look put-together without an extra thought. Whether you're sipping coffee or bubbly, this look is your brunch-day bestie—reliable, stylish, and endlessly wearable. Feminine Dream XNY/Star Max // Getty Images Looking for a little bit more flair? Take a page from Gigi Hadid and style a flirty top with your go-to jeans for a look that's equal parts sweet and elevated.

Slip on some loafers, and you're brunch ready in no time. A Touch of Suede Getty Images A silk tank paired with a suede midi skirt—as seen on Lily James—is an elegant combination that feels like the height of elevated cool.

Amanda Holden has been spotted in her most demure look yet on a vist to meet Queen Camilla in a Royal-approved print During a recent visit to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, Queen Camilla opened up a new garden at the beloved rescue centre, and was joined by a couple of famous faces, including David Gandy and Amanda Holden. Amanda caught our attention thanks to her gorgeous and most demure look yet, sporting an on-trend polka dot midi dress. And we've tracked down exactly where it's from. The dress in question is the Ultimate Muse Cap Sleeve Gathered Midi Dress in White Polka Dot, priced at £185, from celebrity-loved brand Odd Muse. The Royal-approved polka dot print has been spotted on countless members of the family, including Princess Kate, the late Princess Diana, Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice. And it's not just the royals who love it, this trending print has been taking over 2025 with Amanda Holden being the latest celeb to rock it. With chic cap sleeves, soft shoulder structure, and flattering side-gathered detailing, this classy midi creates a gorgeous silhouette that enhances the figure. Although it is on the pricier side, at almost £200, the versatility of this midi makes it a worthy investment, in our opinion. Although polka dots are trending at the moment, it's a pretty timeless pattern, as the Royal Family proved, so you don't need to worry about the print dating. On top of this, the elegant silhouette makes this appropriate for all kinds of events from garden parties to the races, and even fancy dinners with your friends.

The brand is known for its minimalist, chic and elevated basics, from cinched-in waist mini dresses to tailored matching sets and simple blouses. Just last year, Molly-Mae had everyone talking about her Wimbledon attire, and it was all thanks to Odd Muse's The Ultimate Muse Collar Maxi Dress, priced at £125. Fans were quick to praise her look. 'Omg the epitome of a Wimbledon lady right there wow' wrote one, whilst another added: 'The @oddmuselondon dress is stunning on you!!!'. Additionally Amanda Holden has been nailing the fashion game with look after look recently.

Get the royal look without breaking the bank as this 'very flattering' polka-dot dress perfectly emulates one of Kate Middleton's most iconic Wimbledon looks at a fraction of the cost If there's one pattern the Princess of Wales opts for time and time again, it's the classic polka dot. She's often seen donning it for various occasions, from the birth of her children to Wimbledon. Kate has a fondness for a polka-dot frock. Particularly, she's sported a range of variations on the blue-with-white polka dots when it comes to dresses. While most of us don't have a Royal bank balance to splurge on Kate's exact outfits, there is still a way to steal her style without breaking the bank. Over at L.K. Bennett, there's a navy polka-dot midi dress that is perfect for emulating Kate Middleton's iconic Wimbledon in 2022, making it an ideal choice right now as the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament gets underway. Available at L.K. Bennett or from Marks & Spencer, this Valerie Spring Navy & Birch Viscose Printed Viscose Shirt Dress With Belt is the ideal piece for copying Kate's fabulous Wimbledon ensemble. It comes in a wide range of sizes from 6 to 20, with regular and petite measurements available for those who aren't graced with Kate's height. This dress is also available in several shades, in case you fancy veering away from Kate's traditional navy look. Boasting the same strong shoulders as Kate's noteworthy dress, this Valerie Shirt dress offers a formal, structured look that makes it an easy choice for days in the office or more highbrow events, whether you're heading to the court side or meeting a client for lunch.

It varies from Kate's as it sports cream buttons, a buckled belt, and a back yoke, but matches her iconic look in its midi-length skirt. Wear it with your favourite heels or Kate's beloved tennis shoes for a royal ensemble that can seamlessly work for any and all occasions this summer. One shopper who picked up this piece from M&S raves: "Lovely material. Looks as though it will not crease which is important to me! Very flattering style. Pricey but worth it!" This exact dress is up for grabs for £299 from L.K. Bennett or Marks & Spencer and is currently in stock in all sizes.

Queen Camilla Brings Back Signature Florals in Fiona Clare During Visit to Scotland With King Charles III
Queen Camilla joined her husband, King Charles III, for a trip to Scotland on Wednesday. Britain's queen consort and reigning monarch are on a tour of the country as part of Royal Week, making stops at receptions and special commemorations. For the annual visit, Queen Camilla went back into her royal wardrobe and opted for a dress courtesy of one of her go-to designers: Fiona Clare. The queen consort re-wore a floral dress, with long sleeves, rounded shoulders and a slightly flared skirt. The dress featured a base fabric of cream with cascading florals in shades of blue, pink and fuchsia running down the fabric.

Finishing touches included coordinated pearl earrings and a pair of Chanel cap toe suede satin low heel pumps in beige and black — another staple piece of the queen consort's wardrobe. While attending the commemoration for a memorial stone for Queen Elizabeth II in St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Queen Camilla wrapped up in a coat by Anna Valentine, one of her other favorite designers. Queen Camilla previously wore this Fiona Clare design last May. The queen styled the frock for the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Canada House in London. The High Commission of Canada in the U.K. officially opened on June 29, 1925, by King George V, King Charles' maternal great-grandfather. The queen consort also replicated this look from last year's trip to Scotland in July 2024. The British royal family member wore the dress for a celebration of individuals who promote Scottish Literacy at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh exactly one year ago. Royal rewears are a signature part of Queen Camilla's wardrobe. The queen consort consistently repurposes dresses by Fiona Clare and Anna Valentine. Kate Middleton is also dedicated to the trend, rewearing pieces by Self-Portrait, Emilia Wickstead and more.

Styled By Niamh: New Miss Ireland Caoimhe Kenny on why now it's her time to shine
Newly-crowned Miss Ireland Caoimhe Kenny, the model daughter of Irish football manager Stephen Kenny, credits her father with her competitive edge. However, the beauty queen says her mother Siobhan is the true rallying force behind the family. 'So my mom spent her life driving me to ballet classes and my brothers to football training,' Caoimhe told Styled. 'She would have spent so much of her time in the car, but I think that has shown me how much she wanted us to succeed and be the best we could be.' Before marrying football-mad Stephen, Caoimhe's mum had been in a highly successful senior managerial role in the corporate sector. 'My mom gave up everything in order to give us the best growing up. 'So I will always credit my mom for being the biggest influence,' said Caoimhe. Now she's forging her own road to success, Caoimhe says she has developed a deeper appreciation of the sacrifices both her parents made during her formative years. Michelle Keegan Denim Jacket – Blue €37.75 'I think when you're a teenager you don't realise the kind of impact that you might have on your parents. 'But now that I'm an adult, and I sort of say to my mom 'Oh my God, I regret any time I ever made a drama about something or didn't appreciate all you did'. V by Very Crochet Hem Denim Shorts – €35 'Now that I'm an adult, I see the sacrifices she made,' said Caoimhe. Caoimhe – who was crowned the 77th Miss Ireland at the Knightsbrook Hotel in Trim, Co Meath earlier this month – told Styled that her father instilled in her the dedication that it takes to succeed. V by Very Polka Dot Maxi Dress – €66 'I think growing up and seeing what succeeding meant, and, you know, the feeling of success, I would say that definitely contributed to this idea of succeeding in whatever you put your mind to,' Caoimhe told Styled. 'Football is a very competitive sport, so I think growing up in that environment, with my dad definitely would have, you know, developed a bit of a competitive nature. V By Very Revere Collar Denim Jumpsuit – €72 'But at the same time, my dad always would have been extremely level headed. He would have always been really fair minded,' said Caoimhe. And while she says she inherited her ambition from her father, she insists he was by no means a 'pushy parent'. Michelle Keegan Knitted T-shirt – €50 'He would have never pushed me to do something I didn't want to do. 'He would have motivated me to be the best that I could do. But I think there's no denying probably the competitive nature does stem from him and growing up watching what he achieved.' Boohoo Flower Detail Low Heeled Mules – €21 Growing up in Donegal, where her dad was manager of Derry City, Caoimhe has fond recollections of weekends spent in the football stands watching her dad manage his team on the pitch. 'From a very young age, since we moved up to Donegal when he was managing Derry City, they are the earliest games I remember,' said Caoimhe. 'I would have been around six or seven going to the matches. And it became pretty much part of my weekly routine. 'We would all go to all the home games.' Boohoo Double Buckle Footbed Slider – €18.50 But now it's time for Caoimhe to shine in the household, she says her father is more than happy to play a supporting role. 'I really enjoy going to the football matches but now, obviously that I'm doing Miss Ireland, I think it's been the talk of the house for the past couple of months,' admits Caoimhe. 'And me and mom make a joke in the house that, you know, 'oh, like now it's my turn'. Like it's my time to shine.' V by Very Aztec Detal Midi Dress – €45 'But it's only a bit of banter. It's just a bit of light-hearted fun.' Banter aside, Caoimhe was seriously emotional to have her proud dad watch on as she was crowned Miss lreland at the glitzy final. 'But you know, it really meant a lot to me that he was there for the final, because obviously he has a very busy schedule, and you know, he has matches on a Friday, so he's not always available. 'So to be able to be there, that he made the time to be there, and for him to be in the audience, that really meant a lot to me.' CHECK, MATE Gingham, the quintessential chequered classic, has grown up with great sartorial aplomb. No longer the preserve of school girl outfits, prairie pastiche or tablecloths, gingham has been treated to a very stylish makeover. Stepping off the catwalks in adult cuts and polished fashion, for the summer at least, gingham is here to stay. With gingham patterns everywhere we are smitten with everything from pretty gingham dresses, peplum tops, swimwear – and even gingham ballet flats – ensure you are a check-mate in the style stakes this summer. REGALLY STYLISH Actress Michelle Keegan's latest collection at online shop Very is simply stunning. It features an eclectic selection of old-Hollywood style dresses, fun and flirty shorts, and tops that can take you from summer days to nights in a fashionable heartbeat. Looking every inch the beauty queen, Caoimhe models a polka dot dress featuring a delicate sweetheart neckline with a full-skied body which accentuates the figure. The material, cut and design of the Very collection is impressive and the reasonable price point of under €100 for a variety of dresses belies the quality. The pieces are also timeless, so not just a one-wear wonder. PLAYFUL PLAYSUITS If you invest in one piece of clothing this summer, then consider a playsuit as a never-let-you-down outfit. Playsuits are an easy-to-wear choice that can conceal any lumps and bumps if you're having a bad day, but never fail in the fashion stakes. They can be buttoned up or zipped, wide-leg or slimline chic. They are fun, versatile and take the hassle out of fashion. MINTED Whether it's olive, pastel, sea or mint – green is the colour of summer. And unlike its sisters cooler blue or warm red, green is one colour that suits every skin, eye and hair tone so be seen in whatever shade of green takes your fancy this summer season.
