We love Maggie Gyllenhaal. This woman is not just a great actress, she’s also a classic kind of beauty. However, she is also known for choosing the wrong kinds of dresses, like her most recent fashion mishap with a printed wrap dress.
We spotted her at The Lunchbox Fund Fall Fête wearing a vintage Yves Saint Laurent from the 1980s. Unfortunately, the floral frock aged this lovely woman. It was ill-fitting and the print was unattractive. We know there are countless gorgeous vintage frocks out there, but this is definitely not one of them!

Wrap dresses are actually very flattering for almost any figure, provided they fit you well and have a nice print. This dress style is versatile and can easily go from day to night.
If you want to rock the same look, consider the following options that feature more attractive, and much more modern, prints. With printed dresses like these, go minimal on the makeup and jewelry to keep things sophisticated.
