Living in New York City with temperatures still in the 30s, I’m eagerly awaiting spring. I’ve been spending a lot of time on Pinterest, bookmarking ideas for spring outfits and jotting down various ways to style my jeans, skirts, and dresses. Besides Pinterest, I’ve been observing celebrities in L.A. and taking inspiration from their warm-weather ensembles. One stylish A-lister who is already inspiring me—particularly regarding spring dresses—is Jennifer Lopez.
Stepping out for lunch at San Vincente Bungalows in West Hollywood, J.Lo was spotted wearing a pale pink silk dress. The maxi silhouette featured a plunging V-neck and lace-trimming that extended from the straps to the hem. She paired it with brown suede cowboy boots for a boho-chic look. For accessories, she opted for her go-to wire-frame aviator sunglasses and a matching pink bag.

Lace-trimmed slip dresses have been a trend for many seasons now, dating back to Celine’s spring/summer 2016 runway show, when Phoebe Philo opened with a white dress featuring black lace trim. Fast forward to 2024, and the style was again on the runways during Celine’s and Miu Miu’s S/S 2025 shows. The runways then came to life last summer when the style set, including Alexa Chung and Elsa Hosk, wore it with ballet flats and pumps. We even saw chic dressers in London and Paris layering them over silk pants or classic trousers. But it didn’t stop there: The trend surged again this year when Zoë Kravitz wore two different Saint Laurent numbers to the Golden Globe Awards and after-party.
The previous night, Dakota Fanning attended W Magazine’s Best Performances Party at Chateau Marmont, wearing a lace slip, too. While we’ve seen the silhouette with ballet flats, Mary Janes, pumps, and open-toe heels, J.Lo is now making a case for the cowboy boot pairing—and we’re here for it. It adds a bit of edge to the soft dress and creates a very carefree, bohemian aesthetic.
If, like me, you’re persuaded to add a lace-trimmed slip dress, cowboy boots, or both to your wardrobe, keep scrolling. I’ve rounded up the best pieces across all categories.
