EmRata Just Wore the High-Value Dress Color That Feels Very In

One of my characteristics is that I’m a dress girl. When I’m not wearing jeans, you can find me wearing dresses, especially the simple silhouettes that are form-fitting and easy to pair with any outfit. Consider a style similar to Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic mini gray dress. Sex and the City. One person who shares my thoughts is Emily Ratajkowski. Before I do that know She, I have been following and writing about her street style for years. So we know she loves no-frills dresses, from beige mini styles to black midi dresses with cutouts. But in 2026, she’s making a case for a navy blue midi dress.

For the premiere screening of last day During the Tribeca Film Festival, Emrata was spotted in New York wearing a mango navy dress. The midi silhouette features a round neck and an asymmetrical open back. To complete the look, Emrata chose brown open-toed strappy heeled mules, creating a very elevated and warm-weather-friendly outfit. Her black oversized sunglasses and chain-embellished shoulder bag helped round out the ensemble.

To be honest, I had never thought of buying a navy blue dress, but when I saw it on EmRata, I decided. This color is as neutral as black, but has more depth and therefore a richer appeal. It’s also unexpected, and in 2026, that’s the key difference between dressing to look good and dressing to look elegant.
