Lily Collins has become known as a fashion icon thanks to her character Emily Cooper on Netflix’s Emily in Paris. But over the course of the past four (soon to be five) seasons, the actor’s keen sense of style has also been apparent off screen, time and time again. Just look at her recent appearance at an event for the Wimbledon tournament. Collins appeared in a look that is not only on trend but also gave us some style inspo for the perfect summer outfit.
While Emily Cooper is prone to eye-catching—at times even wacky—looks, in real life Lily Collins tends to go for more classic designs. But her outfit at Wimbledon proves that going for something understated is anything but boring. Collins wore a striped midi-dress with an embroidered pattern and cut-out details. However, it was the gold mesh Mary Jane-style ballet flats that we couldn’t stop eyeing.

Mesh and crochet ballerinas in particular, like the ones Lily Collins is wearing here, are everywhere at the moment. And for good reason: Thanks to their weblike structure, they prevent sweaty feet (perfect for hot days) and are a great option for anyone who doesn’t want to show their feet even in the summer. They’re the anti-sandals, basically.
With her summery look, Collins relies on the simplest styling combination, one that is always guaranteed to work: Simply slip into your favorite midi-dress, wear a pair of trendy shoes on your feet, and you have a complete look.
Midi-length dresses are a must-have in any closet: They always look dressed up, no matter the occasion, and are visually elongating thanks to the length between the knee and ankle. That’s why they are also perfect for combining with flat shoes, which are shown off to their best advantage.
