Dani Dupree has never been one to shy away from making a bold fashion statement on Beyond the Gates, and her latest look gives us yet another reason to keep our eyes glued to her wardrobe!
With October underway, darker shades of burgundy, brown, and purple are taking over fall wardrobes everywhere, but Dani isn't leaving bright colors behind just yet. Played by the fabulous Karla Mosley, Dani stepped out wearing a striped maxi dress that hits the absolute sweet spot for the season.
A Bold Striped Statement
Dani wore the Fashion Nova "Sia" Long Sleeve Maxi Dress in the pink combo. The dress features a sleek, fitted silhouette, long sleeves, and a striking combination of horizontal and vertical stripes in pink, orange, burgundy, purple, and black.
The mix of stripe directions is easily one of the most interesting design details across the upper portion, where the pattern runs in broad horizontal bands before shifting directions further down the dress. This gives the design a much more dynamic shape than a standard striped maxi. Plus, the long sleeves and ankle length make it an effortless choice for a fall evening out that requires zero complicated styling.
The Perfect Finishing Touch
To tie the whole outfit together, Dani paired the dress with Steve Madden's Lilac Sandals in burgundy suede. Rather than going with a basic black heel, this footwear choice perfectly complements the dress while giving the look a slightly dressier, polished finish.
She also accessorized with Misho's "Juicy Sunday Hoops XL" in Lavender Love. These oversized statement earrings add a massive pop without ever overpowering the dress, and their bold shape stands out gorgeously with her hair styled away from her face.
Speaking of beauty, she kept her makeup polished with defined eyes and a warm lip color that tied right into the autumn tones of the outfit. By pulling two different colors straight from the dress into her accessories—the burgundy sandals and the lavender earrings—Dani proved that smart color coordination is what makes an outfit truly work.
Fall Fashion with a Retro '70s Twist
This outfit is giving us fall fashion, but definitely not in the traditional sense! The rich burgundy and purple shades make the dress feel completely seasonal, while the pops of pink and orange keep it bright and unexpected. It's a color combination that works like magic for October, bridging the gap when fall is taking over but there is still plenty of room for vibrant color.
Horizontal stripes aren't always the easiest print to pull off, especially when bold colors are involved. However, the clever cut and shifting stripe directions give the dress a wonderfully flattering shape. The pattern is busy, but it never looks messy!
There is also a distinctly retro, '70s-inspired feel to the combination of colors and bold stripes, giving it a modern appearance with a nostalgic twist. It isn't your average, predictable fall fashion formula, and that is exactly what makes it so memorable. Between the fit, the fabulous accessories, and the overall styling, this was easily one of Dani's best looks yet—and for that, she easily takes home our Look of the Week title!
