The styles prioritize femininity, with pieces that are designed for every occasion and budget - though we’d argue that the styles really double as the perfect uniform for summer soirées and backyard hangs.With an Oscar, a catalogue of cult-favorite projects under her belt (“Sweet Home Alabama” forever!), and a string of…

When Bradshaw’s anticipated outfit doesn’t work out as planned, she pulls from the archives, and lands on a dress with plenty of significance for “Sex and the City” fans.

Whatever you choose to do this Independence Day, the best way to celebrate is in a look that…
