Known for her ethically conscious clothing and celebrity friendships as much as for being the daughter of Beatle Paul, Stella McCartney’s clothing is feminine with an attention to detail. This beaded mini dress is one fine example of McCartney’s craftsmanship. The racer-back taupe sleeveless dress is made from silk and covered in dome metal beads. It retails for $4,145 at net-a-porter.com.

At Paris Fashion Week, Stella McCartney showed her spring/summer collection. Full of easygoing flowing dresses in wildflower prints inspired by the ’70s, the models looked like the cast of the musical “Hair.” Her trademark jumpsuits also made an appearance, as well as pajama- and nightgown-inspired garments. The looks would be equally appropriate for an afternoon in the park or a Sunday lounging around in bed. The look above, worn by model Jessica Stam, is the epitome of the perfect spring frock.
