This week, women dazzled in a wide range of beautiful summer dresses. Dede Lovelace wore my personal favorite, a patchwork dress that has a little something for everyone, and Josh Groban looked like he was adequately prepared for lax corporate life at the The Show Must Go On premiere. To decide for yourself who was the best dressed this week, scroll below.

Best Summer Glow 


Adrienne Warren at Respect special screening on August 11.


Summer might be coming to an end, but Adrienne Warren is glowing like it’s still June.

Best Ball Gown 


Briyana Guadalupe at the The Ms. Pat Show premiere on August 11.


It’s been a while since I’ve seen anyone pull off a kelly green dress so well, but Briyana Guadalupe certainly delivered.

Best Business Casual 


Josh Groban at the World Premiere of The Show Must Go On on August 9.


Something about this look on Josh Groban just says “tech boss who’s taking a summer Friday.”

Most Multifarious 


Dede Lovelace at The Night House premiere on August 11.


Dede Lovelace didn’t need to decide on just one summer dress, she chose them all — and I love it.


Most Trendy


Jennifer Hudson out in Manhattan on August 12.


The gold necklaces, the orange dress, and her colorful heels prove Jennifer Hudson could never go out of style.

Best Cocktail Dress


Laura Kim at Fleuriste St-Germain on August 12.


Fashion designer Laura Kim obviously knows a thing or two about personal style, and I love the simplicity of this dress.


Best Summer Party Pants

Akin Adebowale’s salt-inspired pants are perfect for a dinner party or any occasion, really.
