Flourish in florals like Laura wearing a Paco Rabanne dress

Here at Fashion Finder HQ we’re getting excited for the return of Big Little Lies, especially after seeing the stars of the show grace multiple covers of this months InStyle magazine.

Although we love the glossy pages of Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, it’s Laura Dern’s look that has caught our eye.

Julia von Boehm has once again worked her magic by styling the actress in this floral slip dress by Paco Rabanne over a printed lame top, which both hail from the Pre-Fall ’19 collection, and Francesco Russo sandals to complete the look.

The maxi dress is designed with a pleated effect with contrasting black lace trims to finish. We love the lingerie-inspired aesthetics of the dress, which would work wonders for a party or wedding.

Sadly, it’s not yet available, but you can replicate Laura’s look by shopping similar styles via the carousel. No matter your budget get the A-list look with French Connection, Michael Kors and more.

Inside the magazine the beauty - who came to fame with Nicolas Cage in 1990's Wild At Heart - also talked feminism. 

'Ambition was a dirty word for women when I was a little girl. Women who are ambitious are cold, calculating, and unsexy — that was the idea presented to my generation,' said the Jurassic Park actress.

'To be sexy was to be demure, subservient even. ... It's been enough, I think, for Reese, Nicole, and me to be ambitious in our field.

'Every dinner is three and a half hours minimum with food and wine. We break it all down.
