Summer is coming to a close, and August brought us a glimpse into how to transition seasons in style. The silhouette of choice among celebs? A long-sleeve dress, but with big personality. Below, check out Kasey’s must-see picks for the best dressed of the bunch, and learn how to get the looks yourself.

Naomi Watts
August’s best-dressed title goes to Naomi Watts. The Glass Castle actress has stunned on her press tour, proving that ultra-femme dressing never looked so cool. She embraces adventurous details and wears them in a sophisticated yet whimsical way. Think: dramatic sleeves paired with denim, and embellished fit-and-flare silhouettes done in all white. Turn up the volume when you try these trends by mixing in standout pieces with your everyday wardrobe.

Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore knows how to rock the lady-in-red look with this bright crimson color and beautifully detailed long-sleeve silhouette. And I love that she went for a statement-making clutch to round out the look. Opt for a bold-hued maxi and an equally-as-attention-grabbing clutch to get the same effect.

Yara Shahidi
This young actress is at the top of my must-watch fashion list. And I love everything about this whimsical Elie Saab number. She embraces a hard-to-wear hue in a glitter knit textile with so many on-trend details, like a charming neckline, sheer paneling, and fun frills. Metallic pumps complement it perfectly. If purple glitter is too over-the-top for you, choose a similar silhouette in a more muted tone (but stick with the metallic pumps).

Brie Larson
Brie Larson slays in this not-so-basic LBD. I love that she emulates Old Hollywood glamour with the blush slip underneath and an elegant accordion handbag. Get her throwback style with a mid-length LBD and ladylike accessories. And don’t be afraid to embrace a little vintage sex appeal.

Tracee Ellis Ross
Tracee Ellis Ross went ultra chic in this all-white-everything ensemble. I love the ruffled lace A-line skirt paired with a clean pair of white stilettos. Take note: Sometimes, keeping it simple makes the biggest statement.
