Camila Mendes rocked the Met Gala red carpet with her sequined rosette dress, reminding me that this floral trend is still in full bloom. We've seen rosettes pop up here and there over the last year with the soft girland coquettetrends, but now rosettes are an entire moment of their own. Cami definitely crushed this trend, with the petals flowing down the length of her dress, giving her a delicate draped look. But rosette styles — a rosette dresses in particular — aren't one-size-fits all. Like their literal flower counterparts, a rosette dress can take many forms. From more structural accents to flowing flowers, there's truly something for everyone! Here are 17 ways you can style your own rosette dress moment á la Cami!
These off-the-shoulder sleeves and the dainty length really make this dress something special! Plus, it honestly feels the closest to Cami's actual look, given the draping and rosette placement.
The second closest to Cami's look, this rosette dress has all the halter top realness you could ask for! I'm really into this lilac color and the pleating — especially for a sweet happy hour-to-dinner night out with your girlfriends!
Nothing says coquette like a slinky little silk nighty! I love this dress for a summer night out!
I think the hip rosette would somehow get in my way if I tried to wear this dress, but it looks SO cute for people more coordinated than I!
Powder blue is really having a moment, and I can't get enough of it here! The way the fabric just hangs off the rosette is such a delicate detail.
This rosette dress is perfect for your bachelorette party, TBH! Throw it on before your night out with the girls and dance the night away!
Though it's technically not a dress, this two piece is sooooo fun for summer! It's giving Cool Girl Goes To Dinner On Vacation.
The red trend isn't going anywhere any time soon, and to nobody's surprise — it pairs perfectly with rosettes. This is THE Hot Girl Summer dress for sure.
Barbie does rosettes! Well, not actually – Elliatt does rosettes here, but I'd like to think Barbie would love it. The floral bunches in three corners of this dress are really sweet here, too!
Another Hot Girl moment with this Atoir set (again, I know it's not exactly a dress)! This strappy little number will have everyone asking for your actual number in no time!
The Abercrombie renaissance continues to win big with this rosette dress! I love the two-tiered skirt and the one-shouldered rosette strap.
The rosettes on this dress from Mango are printed on, rather than the floral appliques we've seen so much of here. Definitely a unique take on this trend!
It may be a bridal dress, but that doesn't mean that's all it's good for! While this is totally perfect for all your bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and even wedding needs, I can definitely see this slaying way after "I do" too!
I'm absolutely obsessed with how much this Hutch romper looks like a straight-up dress. The rosette straps are just the cherry — er, flowers — on top!
A shift dress is always a classic silhouette to stash in your closet, and this Endless Rose option is far from boring! Adorned with a handful of chunkier rosettes, this mod-esque dress is everything.
Another slinkier option, the Staud Delilah Rosette Satin Minidress is chic and sexy. Pull it out for your next date night and see how your partner reacts!
And for my final trick, I give you this dress: 💃. While I'm only slightly kidding, I love the front hip placement of the gathered rosette and the movement of the high-low slit.

Whether you love to cook when you have time or prefer to avoid the kitchen at all costs, a quick and easy dinner is a must on a busy weeknight. If you've peeked into the frozen section at your grocery store recently, you may have noticed that frozen meals have come a long way since the TV trays of the past!
A variety of cuisines and cultures are now represented in the frozens aisle, and there are plenty of options for every dietary preference to choose from – all of which can help you maintain a healthy diet to fuel that busy schedule of yours. Ahead, find a few of our favorite frozen meals. Some work on their own and a few others just need a fresh appetizer or complementary ingredient to call it a complete meal.
Inspired by grilled Mexican street corn, this frozen elote bowl is a delightful mix of corn, chickpeas, red bell peppers, brown rice, and quinoa topped with a creamy lime sauce, pepitas, and vegan Parmesan cheese.
These frozen raviolis are stuffed with portobello mushrooms and three cheeses (goat, ricotta, and Romano cheese) and then topped with a creamy basil sauce as well as red peppers, spinach, and cremini mushrooms.
This vegan mac-and-cheese gets a dose of beneficial fiber from broccoli, and with gluten-free breadcrumbs, it has a nice, crispy top when cooked in the oven.
Fix these plant-based chicken strips with a side of asparagus, which you can bake at the same time or also steam in the microwave and add a squeeze of lemon or lime to compliment!
Make a burrito bowl at home with this easy meal starter you can prepare in the microwave for just a few minutes, then combine with some romaine lettuce and avocado slices!
Frozen dumplings are great for making homemade soup in no time. Heat them up with frozen veggies (like carrots and spinach) in broth all at once, whether in the microwave or on the stove.
Adding as many vegetables as possible to your favorite comfort foods is pretty much the secret to happiness and health. This cauliflower macaroni would get even better with a side of Brussels sprouts.
You just might think you ordered in with this wood-fired pizza and its prosciutto, arugula, mozzarella, as Provolone toppings as well as white garlic sauce.
Sometimes, the heart wants what the heart wants. If you're craving something salty, make sweet potato fries at home with a bowl of tomato soup for a meal adults and kids alike will love.
Satisfy your summer grilling cravings with these plant-based patties and top them off with whatever fresh toppings you have in the fridge. Need ideas? Here you go!
Ideal for anyone minding their carbs, this four-cheese pizza with a chickpea crust is also gluten-free with no added sugar.
With 21 grams of protein from eggs, potatoes, and plant-based sausage, this frozen vegetarian meal will keep you satiated well into your day.
These potstickers come equipped with a dipping sauce and quickly become crispy once you fry 'em up in a pan or wok.
This frozen meal tastes just like takeout, and has a good mix of veggies, tofu, and noodles.

The Met Gala is known for its amazing red carpet looks, but I pay just as much attention to the beauty. These final makeup looks are just as beautiful as the fashion, and fresh-faced, glowy beauty is EVERYWHERE. Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor showed up to the Met Gala wearing a face full of Charlotte Tilbury makeup (done by Sofia Tilbury!), and, TBH, I want to shop every single product. Keep reading for the full scoop!
Start off your makeup routine by ensuring your skin is glowy on its own! This magic cream features hyaluronic acid (without any of the sulfates you might be worried about) for a hydrating effect you'll love.
No matter whether you have normal or dry skin, this magic cream works to reduce fine lines and give you a lit-from-within glow.
Your skin will absolutely drink up this serum because not only does it feature Vitamin C, but it's also got the super-hydrating Polyglutamic Acid.
The Charlotte Tilbury Crystal Elixir will increase your skin's hydration by 172 percent in 60 minutes, and will make your skin firmer and more elastic!
The secret to incredible makeup might just be using products infused with skincare ingredients. This foundation uses the benefits of hyaluronic acid to give you a natural glow.
The medium finish lasts for 16 hours AND it hydrates, smoothes, blurs, and brightens. Talk about a multi functioning product.
Get the glow of your dreams with this highlighter that has finely milled pearls, mica, and oil for the smoothest application ever.
This micro-precision tool lets you fill in your brows with hair-like strokes that won't make them blocky or unnatural. There are plenty of shades to match a variety of hair colors, and you don't have to worry about ashy undertones.
The long-wearing formula also means your brows won't fade over time. But the best part is that since this Charlotte Tilbury product can be refilled, it's more sustainable!
Nothing says understated glam like a nude eyeshadow look, and there are so many shades in this palette that you can create an endless amount of eye looks! My favorite combo is the brown, champagne, and gold, but the warmer tones are the perfect transition to summertime.
Hydrating lipstick that's also matte sounds too good to be true, but this pick proves it can be done! It's long wearing for all your date nights, GNO's, and movie marathons, and it's vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free.
Let us know your favorite spring makeup trend in the comments!

Image via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images
