Jessica Alba's vibrant statement skirt, lilac blouse and wide-brim hat is a winning combination that's perfect for warm weather styling
The actress looked flawless in picturesque Provence walking among lavender fields

Jessica Alba epitomises European style as she walks amongst a lavender field in Provence, France. The actress looked très chic in a multi-coloured maxi skirt, a delightful lilac blouse, and a standout wide-brim hat.
In the midst of the much-welcome heatwave, looking for outfits that are both cooling and stylish can feel like an uphill battle. And if the trusted staples from your summer capsule wardrobe are feeling a bit overdone, there's no harm in taking some inspiration from a-lister looks, including this elevated daytime attire from actress Jessica Alba.
In a video posted to Instagram, she glowed in the picturesque setting, showing the camera her elegant pastel-coloured summertime look. Walking through a lavender field, she is joined by her children and later mum.

The outfit consisted of a multi-coloured maxi skirt, from the brand Xirena, a Los Angeles brand known for their timeless designs. The skirt was styled with a lilac-coloured blouse that has slightly puffy sleeves, and the look was finished off with a wide-brim hat, a pair of large gold hoops, and platform raffia sandals.

Made from pure cotton, this light and breathable skirt is a summer must-have. Style with a pastel coloured blouse, or even with your favourite graphic t-shirt and best white trainers.
Who doesn't love a puff-sleeve blouse—especially in lilac! I can visualise this shirt looking incredible with white jeans outfits or with a dark denim skirt and raffia sandals.
Something that really stands out about this look is the use of colour, and if you're still wondering what colour suits me, then this deep lavender tone is great for those with warmer undertones. And paired with this vibrant multi-coloured skirt is a bold and unconventional styling choice, but it really works.
Statements skirts have made a real comeback this summer, falling in line with the summer fashion trends 2024, and recently other celebrity favourites of ours have been spotted nailing this style too. Jo Whiley's long skirt look to attend Glastonbury being among one of our favourites.
Longer length statement skirts offer a quick way to make your daytime looks really stand out, and the high-street has some brilliant options to choose from. From stripes to bohemian broderie, this style is a fail-proof option. And pairing a statement skirt with a linen or poplin shirt is also a brilliant option if you're on the look out for summer outfits for work.
