Martha Stewart Paired a Billowy Dress With This Comfy Summer Shoe

Martha Stewart is that girl when it comes to blending style with comfort. Case in point? The lifestyle guru recently celebrated her 83rd birthday with an airy white midi dress that featured dramatic puffed sleeves and floral embroidery (which was lined in silver stitching for extra oomph). She completed her late summer look with statement drop earrings and pillowy sandals that featured large double buckle straps. 

It’s clear Stewart’s warm weather-friendly attire is worth copying, especially as temperatures continue to rise. Luckily, we found the same exact Arianne Elmy dress the cookbook author wore—as well as similar options starting at just $32. And in the shoe department, there wasn’t a shortage of lookalike picks, including the large double-buckle strap sandals that Reese Witherspoon and Margot Robbie have frequently worn.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion like Stewart or want to be comfy and cute on vacation, shop for more late summer outfits inspired by the birthday girl, below.

Shop Stewart’s Summer Look:

Banana Republic Factory Molded Outsole Sandal

Put your best foot forward with Banana Republic Factory’s Molded Outsole Sandal. These black faux leather slides feature a chic double-buckle strap in gold hardware and a thick sole like Stewart’s shoes, which adds extra comfort and durability. While the padded footbed will feel like you’re walking on clouds, making it pain-free for all-day wear, the sleek design doesn’t sacrifice style.

BP. Puff Sleeve Eyelet Babydoll Mini Dress

Similar to Stewart’s white mini dress, this BP. babydoll look is all about the details. For one, the airy piece includes a floral-embroidered eyelet detail that makes it great for any summer occasion, like going to a beach-side brunch or sightseeing on vacation. As if the cutwork embroidery weren’t cute enough, the breezy mini dress features two back straps that you can wrap in a bow for an extra flirty feel.

Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Slide Sandal

Birkenstock updated its cult-classics by adding larger buckles to the straps. One shopper raved over the design, saying the bigger hardware pieces “makes them fun,” while another reviewer noted they’re “perfect for casual days.” Wear these statement sandals with a dressy outfit, like Stewart, or throw them on when you need to dash out the door in a pair of sweats and a T-shirt. 

Dokotoo Ruffle Crew Neck Mini Dress

Dokotoo’s ruffled pleated mini dress reminded me of the lifestyle icon’s outfit with its dramatic puffed elbow sleeves and super roomy silhouette; except, of course, this $37 Amazon find is almost a tenth of the cost of Stewart’s $360 dress. The budget-friendly piece offers the same cozy comfort since it’s made with breathable, lightweight fabric and features a flowy fit.
