How do we love Krysten Ritter’sThe Way, Way Back‘ premiere Christian Dior dress? Let us count the ways.

1. We love it for its flattering shape, which nips Krysten’s trim waist in and proceeds to flare delicately over her hips. It clearly is made with the woman’s body in mind. Such a dress is perfect for when one wants to feel sexy without bare an indecent amount of skin.

2. We love it for its old-school charm. I’m sure Jackie O would approve. It’s a piece you can invest in and keep with you. Many years from now, it will still look classy and relevant.

3. We love it because of Krysten’s overall styling. She knows the dress has a structured, timeless appeal, so she chose equally timeless styling. The classic white Jimmy Choo ‘Lilt’ pumps, the shiny Jimmy Choo ‘Tube’ clutch, and the simple do give this a pared-down charm undaunted by all the more elaborate outfits around her.

Another thing about the dress is that something similar is hard to find. Do you like it as much as we do?
