Jessica Alba Just Wore a Fall-Friendly Version of the Dress Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon Wore All Summer

As if we needed another reason to fall in love with puff sleeves, Jessica Alba just co-signed the trend by wearing a fall outfit that’s so transition-smart.

It’s August 21 Trigger warning the actress was seen in New York in a puff-sleeve floral dress similar to the cut we’ve seen on Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling this year. And while the latter stars reached for light and bright midi versions of the trend this summer, Alba prepared hers for early fall by opting for a maxi dress with a delicate blue pattern.

Puff sleeve maxi dresses were a hot item among celebrities over the summer, and we don’t see the trend going anywhere come fall. Not only does this style offer more coverage than strappy or square-neck dresses, but its ankle length can help keep you warm once the temperatures drop. Plus, it goes with everything from sneakers to ankle boots.
