As if Elle's style didn't scream "sophisticated" and "chic" already, this chiffon maxi dress brings her fashion cred to a whole new level. With a look this good, no accessories are needed.

It's clear that Elle has nailed her red carpet style by now, but this casual boho look proves that her off-duty aesthetic is just a fine-tuned. We love how her turquoise necklace pops against her peachy/nude jumpsuit.

With her newly dyed brown 'do, Elle is almost unrecognizable. The sleek Oscar de la Renta peplum top and trouser duo is a new look for her as well. But of course, she rocks them both.

And just like that, she's back to blonde! Her natural golden locks compliment this dreamy, flowy, waterfall of a dress perfectly.
