Gingham, bandana bags and blue linen blazers are getting all the attention this summer, but Jennifer Lopez is making the case for the return of one timeless look: eyelet lace. The Office Romance star, 56, recently attended the Dolce & Gabbana 2026 Alta Moda Show in Sicily wearing a white eyelet lace mini dress and coordinating headscarf.

The flirty look embodied la dolce vita, especially when paired with large cat-eye sunglasses and white polka-dot pumps. It immediately caught the attention of our fashion editors, who noted eyelet styles popping up everywhere from Nordstrom to Revolve. And, better yet, many of these looks are discounted right now, as part of brands' late-summer sales.
You may not have an Italian vacation—or invitations to a bevvy of European Fashion Week events—on the horizon, but you can still get in on the trend. Below, find five looks to ease into eyelet, whether you're into a Lopez-esque mini or a more demure top.

You can't beat the $50 price tag on this breezy babydoll dress. It mirrors the deep V of Lopez's dress, though the eyelet cutouts are much smaller, and the fit is looser, making it a great beach day cover-up.

If the bold cutouts on Lopez's dress are what really caught your attention, you can capture a similar vibe with this Revolve mini. The halter style ties at the neck and back for an adjustable fit, though you may want to invest in a backless bra for added support.

Intricate, detailed lace gives this mini dress a sophisticated touch, and the lining ensures it isn't too sheer. The one downside? It's hand-wash only to preserve its delicate construction.
5. ASTR The Label Leah Tie-Front Eyelet Top

Billowy and boho, this tie-front top feels very Kate Hudson and Sienna Miller, circa early aughts. It's the kind of effortlessly cool top that instantly turns a pair of jeans and strappy sandals into a look. Loose waves optional, yet highly encouraged.
