EVERYONE CAN GET A PIECE OF GAP BY ZAC POSEN INCLUDING BURO’S MANAGING EDITOR.

When Anne Hathaway stepped out in a breezy summer shirtdress this past May, she probably didn’t expect to break the internet.

Anne Hathaway’s look was such a hit (who would have thought a simple white shirt dress can look that gorgeous?), it was like the internet couldn’t resist falling for it. With sparkling diamonds, soft poplin, and that movie star grin, everyone wanted a piece of Gap by Zac Posen. When the ready-to-wear version dropped, it flew off the shelves faster than you could say “sold out.” Luckily, I got my hands on one of the few available dresses, watch my video to see how it rocks both with and without the bling.

& NOW…MY STYLING RECIPE.

In the world of fashion, few garments boast the timeless versatility of the white shirt dress. This wardrobe staple transcends trends, offering endless styling possibilities that make it a must-have for everyone, effortlessly swooping in to save your style from any occasion. From boardroom brilliance to weekend wanderlust, this classic piece has you covered. Pair it with sleek heels and a belt for a power look that says, “I’ve got this,” or throw on some sneakers and a denim jacket for that “I’m just casually awesome” vibe. This dress doesn’t just adapt to your day (and mood especially if you’ve got swings like I do haha), it transforms it. So, go ahead, make room in your closet for the ultimate chameleon of chic and get inspired by the way I styled it!

SHARP SOPHISTICATION.

My favorite trick? Turning a classic white shirt dress into a showstopper with a few killer accessories. Starting with these Bottega Veneta sunglasses that ooze effortless cool, then adding Minx earrings, especially that chunky, sparkle-studded ear cuff that’s practically a party in your ear. The Stone Cloud bag from Fabric of Society isn’t just cool in name; its molten hardware looks like pebbles caught in a chic storm. And don’t forget the Crocodile brown leather boots from Giuseppe Zanotti, adding a dash of fierce to the mix. (This is my go-to style because there’s something undeniably powerful about rocking edgy staples.)

FLIRTY ELEGANCE.

Who says you need to go all out to be flirty and elegant? I’ve turned a simple white shirt dress into a chic statement by blending luxury with a splash of high street savvy. Think Miu Miu sunglasses adding that touch of glam, Zara necklaces for a dash of glam, and Charles & Keith shoes for effortless flair. To top it all off, a Celine bag seals the deal with a dose of sophistication. It’s proof that you don’t need to break the bank or overdo it to turn heads, sometimes, a well-styled mix is all you need to look fabulous.
