Sorry, Pop of Red, Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively Convinced Me This Other Colour Is Leading Now

Balmy days and long, bright nights are finally our reality, and I’m embracing this golden stretch of the calendar by devoting some time to perfecting my summer capsule wardrobe. After months of heavy layers and muted tones, the moment has finally arrived to welcome back the elegant cuts and pretty shades that felt misaligned with the past nine months.

Brimming with intent, I’ve been gathering new-season styling inspiration, and this week I've landed upon something particularly special. Spotted within hours of each other, Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively stepped out in luminous dresses rendered in the glass slipper blue colour trend—and I know I won't be far behind.

Victoria Beckham wears a blue dress with blue heels.

Attending an event in Dubai, Beckham wore a form-fitting dress in a cool-toned, oceanic shade complete with an iridescent finish, which she paired with tonal strappy sandals in the same glossy hue.

An enchanting colour with a calm, romantic energy, this soft shade is imbued with a gentle charm that adds dimension without overwhelming an outfit. With its icy nature, the soft shade feels akin to that of a thickly cut glass piece, hence its ethereal name.

Blake Lively wears a blue dress.

Just moments later, Lively followed suit in a floaty, romantic Tamara Ralph gown, complete with cut-out detailing and a softly flowing skirt in a similarly luminous hue.

A softer, calmer alternative to the pop of red colour trend that dominated the warmer months last year, this pared-back hue retains all of the intrigue, with a wearable and uplifting energy.

Inspired to channel the magic, I've tracked down the elegant dresses that have caught my eye this season. Read on to shop the most beautiful glass slipper blue dresses for summer below.
