If you're thinking about sprucing up your spring dresses collection, you're definitely missing a beat if you're not browsing the online and offline racks at Rixo. Practically synonymous with unique prints and perfectly fitted dresses, the homegrown label has made an indelible mark on pop culture over the years: Kate Middleton wore the brand's shirt dresses in 2022 and promptly inspired various lookalikes. Soon after, Sofia Richie was spotted in the Meg Leopard Print dress which was perhaps the most coveted dress of last summer, and now, adding to the brand's celebrity fan club is Olivia Rodrigo, whose vibrant printed dress has set the internet ablaze.
Rodrigo shared a picture of her in Marrakech, Morocco dressed in the brand's Hayley Silk Midi Dress which immediately made it to our spring wedding guest mood boards thanks to its bright painterly tulips and polka dot design.

A fashion-forward take on florals for spring, this bias cut midi skims across the body for a flattering fitted silhouette and comes with a detachable polk-dot georgette scarf that adds a unique touch. Be advised, the dress is quickly selling out so snagging one quickly is a great idea.
She's not the only one stunning in a parade of Rixo dresses either. Not long ago, we spotted Emma Roberts in the Lucie midi dress. Cut along the bias from baby blue crepe de chine, the midi is detailed with dainty bows, lace and embroidery along the neck and hem for a vintage moment that looks like something straight out of your mum's vintage Kodak snaps.

Delicate, vintage-inspired and Emma Roberts-approved, the Lucie midi is incredible for everything from spring weddings and garden parties to lounging around on your next holiday.
Co-founded in 2015 by Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey, the brand has built its reputation on crafting timeless showstoppers that surprisingly fit a variety of personal styles as well as body types. The key to this? Customer feedback, shares McCloskey. 'Our customers come to us for flattering shapes they know fit their body shape, and as a brand we pride ourselves on fit and spend a lot of time perfecting our silhouettes. We use their comments when designing new collections and purposefully create a range of silhouettes, sleeve lengths, and dress lengths in each print, so there’s truly something for everyone to feel confident in,' she adds.
The fact that the brand has two women at the helm also helps them make clothing that's actually wearable as well as appealing. 'We pride ourselves on unique hand-painted prints combined with classic and timeless shapes that transcend time and can be worn by your sister as well as your mum or grandmother!' McCloskey says. 'Most importantly, a great dress should make you feel amazing the moment you put it on, confident, effortless, and truly yourself.'
