Nina Ricci's frothy cocktail frocks to
Erdem's sexy sheer confections. But unless you're walking down the aisle with a bouquet in hand, the look can be hard to pull off in real life. Unless, that is, you take a cue from young Hollywood and recast the classic material for day.
Rendered in sporty silhouettes and paired with casual separates, the fabric looks lighthearted and decidedly hip—a far cry from the virginal frills of
Say Yes to the Dress. Take, for instance, the gamine
Peter Pan-collared Dolce & Gabbana shirt
Emma Stone chose for a daytime press event earlier this month.

Emma Roberts gave the material a chic, boho twist by rocking a white lace Zinke
convertible romper-dress underneath a simple top.

Julianne Hough recently upped her errands game by donning a sheer white lace mock-turtleneck top for a chic grocery store outing.

Free People's Voile & Lace Trapeze tank ($88),
BB Dakota's Aline tank ($85) and
Knot Sisters' Milla top ($123). We'll personally be pairing our white lace with distressed cut-offs and light-wash skinnies, but the style looks smart with everything from wide-legged trousers to spring's short flouncy skirts.
