Everyone's Wearing... Long Dresses

By Alice Watt

This spring hemlines have dropped to create one of the most coveted looks for A-listers. Elegant and sexy, but most importantly slimming, long dresses have become a hot new favourite in the ELLE office - and we've been looking to these stars for styling tips. The winter version of the maxi is worn with boots a la Kate and layered with everything from blazers to leather. Whether you opt for a floaty, sheer number like Nicole and Alexa's, a patterned number like Tolula Adeyemi's Temperley version, or a body con version like Miranda's, there is one for every occasion. And long dresses are set to be around for a few seasons after popping up on the Autumn Winter 2010 catwalks, just like Pixie's House of Holland paisley print version.
