The gays may not be trying to murder Jennifer Coolidge’s character on The White Lotus this season, but there is one throughline that’s remained: luxury fashion. The popular series just dropped its first episode of season 3, which premiered on HBO and is available for streaming weekly on Max. Shot at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand and with previous seasons taking place in the glorious locations of Hawaii and Sicily, the cast has featured glamorous attire to match. This season, actor Parker Posey portrays Southern wife Victoria Ratliff, who is bedecked in casual looks paired with designer standout pieces—and one of her dresses just so happens to be super shoppable.
According to the series’ costume designer Alex Bovaird in a recent Vogue interview, Posey arrived at the resort in the gorgeous Cruz Poplin Mini Dress from Banana Republic, which unfortunately (and understandably) is sold out. Luckily, we found the perfect lookalike from Bloomingdale’s that you can wear on your upcoming spring and summer travels. The Whistles Melanie Collared Dress is currently on sale for nearly 25 percent off in the same olive green colorway Posey sported on the show. In-stock sizes range from 2 to 8, showcasing an unlined style with a collared V-neck and puffed elbow sleeves. All you have to do is throw it on, pair it with a printed silk scarf (such as this stunning $50 offering from J.Crew), and hop on a luxurious boat that takes you to a retreat in Thailand.
For a mid-range option and additional sizes, Banana Republic Factory is also selling the Midi Poplin Shirtdress for just $52 after a 60 percent discount (the new heritage olive hue is essentially identical to the one Posey wears but at a longer length). If you’re looking for yet another piece that mimics Posey’s style but is even more budget-friendly, Abercrombie & Fitch placed its highly rated Long-Sleeve Belted Shirt Dress on the clearance rack for $25.
Safe to say you now have several incredibly chic options to pull out of your suitcase during the warm weather season and your upcoming themed viewing parties. Although we recommend utilizing The White Lotus characters for style inspiration and not vacationing tips—their PTO never tends to end well.
