The maxi-dress is a key 2011 Spring / Summer fashion trend and with celebrities wearing them on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival or strolling along the beach it shows that this dress is adaptable and a wardrobe necessity.
Depending on the fit and pattern the maxi-dress can be worn to summer weddings and social events but also on holiday or for popping to the shops.
Whether the dress is strapless and billowing or body-con and colourful, the maxi-dress can be casual or dressy.
To give you some inspiration for choosing a maxi-dress or an array of the dresses here are our top 5 celebrity maxi-dresses.
Dame Helen Mirren
Opting for leopard print was Helen Mirren on the red carpet at the premiere of Arthur. This eye-catching D&G number teamed with a leather jacket was slightly rock chick meaning that the nearer you get to 70 doesn’t mean you have to resort to twinsets and pearls.
Jessica Alba
Oozing laid back chic was Jessica Alba in this monochrome loose fitting L.A.M.B maxi-dress which she wore with a leather waistcoat. By wearing her hair in tousled Jessica looked comfortable but stylish at the same time, which is key to the maxi-dress daytime look.
Nothing looks more try-hard than a woman dressed up to the nines in a maxi-dress just for day wear.

This white dress is offset with two bows at the front and a black stripe going from the hem to up over her shoulder. This dress is simple in colour but bold in its design meaning that the maxi-dress doesn’t always have to be floating and loose. They can be structured with strong outlines on them.
