How to Style Maxi Dresses For Spring

Actress Francesca Fisher (aka Clint Eastwood's daughter) stepped out on the red carpet in a laid-back, sweet Cali-inspired maxi dress we'd slip into for weekend brunch and beyond.

Dree Hemingway gave us minimalist, '70s chic that we'd re-create with a similar maxi and the same vintage-inspired details, like a fabulous pair of platforms and a croc clutch.

Brooklyn Decker's totally femme take on the maxi worked beautifully on the red carpet at Vanity Fair's post-Oscar bash — but we'd wear the same tiered chiffon style for any of our Spring parties.

Jameela Jamil gave us the perfect way to channel modern romance with a sexy spin. We'd do the same with a leg-revealing maxi in a sweet botanical print.

What we love about Naomi Watts's maxi style is how easy it is. A no fuss silhouette that we could wear everywhere from cocktails to picking up our dry cleaning.
