Head's up: Olivia Rodrigo is currently on the European leg of her GUTS Tour, and I'm l-i-v-i-n-g for the 'fits (both on stage and off). This summer, her trademark Y2K-meets-pop-punk style has been replaced with something much more laidback, and most recently, she embraced the minimalist summer dress trend with a cool-girl closet staple: Ciao Lucia's smocked cotton Gabriela Dress in black. (Oh, and she also posted a selfie of herself wearing this same dress to her Stories back in January, so clearly, she's a fan!!)
Yep, it's a bit pricey at $295, but it's a classic dress that will last you forever, trust. Not looking to drop that much cash on a casual summer sundress? I feel you, so I found several just-as-cute alternatives for less $$$ that can serve as your new summer go-to.

Founded back in 2017 by self-proclaimed Italophile Lucy Akin, LA-based brand Ciao Lucia is all about helping you live ~la dolce vita~ (even if you're not lucky enough to be in Europe this summer)...and O-Rod def isn't the only celeb fan. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Kaia Gerber to Sophia Bush has been spotted wearing the label's signature Gabriela Dress, which is beloved for its cute keyhole tie, flattering under-the-bust smocking, and on-trend midi length.
The best part about the Gabriela Dress: It's so damn easy to style! Liv kept her lewk simple with a pair of Oliver Peoples x Khaite sunnies, and while you can't see her shoes in the pic (womp), pretty much any pair of sandals or casual sneakers would work. Brb, adding this bb to my cart before it sells out again!!
