Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, and Gwyneth Paltrow are living proof that three is always better than one.
On July 26, the actresses and friends attended a party celebrating the fourth anniversary of Diaz’s wine company, Avaline, where they posed together in three very different takes on one tried-and-true warm-weather staple: the summer sundress. While Paltrow reached for a square-neck little black dress during the East Hampton gathering, Diaz dazzled in a cream-colored V-neck maxi dress with Witherspoon opting for a trendy white crochet floral mini dress.
Although all three A-listers opted for different iterations of the classic silhouette, each of their looks solidified the fact that breezy sundresses won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Whether you’re looking for a flirty mini to wear on a hot day or an elegant maxi fit for a formal wedding, there’s no shortage of options available to refresh your dress collection for late summer.
We rounded up sundresses inspired by Witherspoon, Diaz, and Paltrow at Amazon, and prices start at just $20.

Prettygarden Smocked Maxi Dress
While Paltrow is far from the first celebrity to break out a classic little black dress this summer — both Angelina Jolie and Joanna Gaines have worn iterations of the closet staple in recent weeks — the actress’ sleeveless take on the trend is so smart for late in the season. Copy her look by snagging this smocked maxi dress from Amazon with thousands of perfect ratings while it’s on sale.
Shoppers appreciate that it’s “lightweight,” “breathable,” and “great for summer,” and one reviewer called it the “best dress [they’ve] ever owned.” Pick it up in Paltrow-worn black, or choose from 22 additional colors and patterns.
Channel Diaz’s hostess with the most-est energy by adding this white maxi dress to your closet just in time for garden party season. Its flattering V-neckline and dainty spaghetti straps closely resemble the actress’ look, and it comes in 18 colors, including hot pink and lace blue, should you ever tire of classic white. Style it with heeled sandals, like Diaz, or pair it with colorful sneakers for more casual occasions.
“Fit is amazing,” one reviewer wrote. “I get a ton of compliments and feel like a million bucks in this dress. It’s super comfortable as well.”
Fisoew Crochet Mini Dress
This crochet mini dress looks similar to Witherspoon’s G.N.O. attire, and it’s on sale for $42 when you use the onsite coupon. Available in 10 vibrant and neutral shades, this dress is popular among users thanks to its “thick and high-quality material” and “buttery soft” feel. More than 100 Amazon shoppers have added it to their cart in the past month, and one reviewer even called it “hands down the nicest dress [they’ve] ever purchased from Amazon.”
“I love that the length is work-appropriate, and that it can be dressed up with wedges for dinner out or dressed down with flip-flops at the beach,” a separate reviewer wrote. “It is a knit dress but very lightweight.”
