18 Chic ‘Fits From The White Lotus Season 3 Worthy Of Your Next Vacation

Though Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya McQuoid is thoroughly missed, Season 3 of The White Lotus is shaping up to be just as riveting as the previous drops. As it builds to its big finale, tensions are skyrocketing. There’s an imminent murder, secrets threatening to come to light, and lots of full-frontal nudity. Fashion girls, however, are particularly enjoying an extra layer of the show’s genius: the impeccable styling.

Thanks to the direction of costume designer Alex Bovaird, White Lotus-core has become its own brand of fashion, capitalizing on the show’s signature “noisy, chaotic luxury.” Viewers on social media are either tracking down the exact pieces on the show or recreating the resort-ready looks themselves. Between cutout numbers, printed sundresses, and crocheted statement pieces, the characters’ wardrobes are a blueprint for any tropical vacation. The season just wrapped but the fashion this season will live on in our memes and vacation Pinterest boards. Here’s a recap of the chicest outfits on the show. May they inspire your next bougie getaway.

1. Chelsea’s Crochet Dress, Episode 1

Rick and Chelsea are undoubtedly the most stylish couple of the season. Viewers are obsessed with Rick’s unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts, while Chelsea’s eccentric (yet spicy) wardrobe is the most unpredictable. Case in point: the dress she wore when viewers first met her.

Chelsea expertly mixed textures in a piece from My Beachy Side. It featured bronze panels down her torso, a knitted crochet base, and massive waist cutouts.

2. Victoria’s Scarf Hack, Episode 1

Leave it to Southern belle Victoria Ratliff to nail an ingenious way of styling scarves. Instead of wrapping it around her hair à la Dolce Vita or tying it as the French do, she checked in at The White Lotus with a vivid blue scarf wrapped asymmetrically around one shoulder. Oh, and her relaxed olive dress? Banana Republic.

3. Chloe’s Mesh Dress & Animal-Print Bag, Episode 2

Another stylish addition to the cast? Charlotte Le Bon’s Chloe, aka Greg/Gary’s new girlfriend. Though they’re not staying at The White Lotus, she hangs out at the hotel an awful lot — in her chicest looks, ofc. In Episode 2, she paraded around in a brown beaded net dress that fully flaunted her black bandeau bra and cheeky bikini. Plus, peep that zebra print beach tote. So good.

4. Victoria’s Stripes & Bling, Episode 3

Victoria’s expertise in elevating a simple outfit should be studied. In Episode 3, she wore a low-key blue-and-white striped halter dress. Her styling, however, gave it the top 1 percentile treatment. Just check out her pricey bling, which includes a Rolex watch and David Yurman jewelry.

5. Kate’s Floral Appliqué Bikini, Episode 3

Each episode of the HBO hit show is practically a runway of designer bikinis, each new bathing suit more arresting than the last. Nothing, however, tops the opulence of Kate’s floral appliqué bikini top... even if she did just wear it for a casual breakfast.

6. Chloe’s Faux Whale Tail & Hat, Episode 4

The exposed-thong style known as a whale tail is arguably the most divisive trend to come out of the early 2000s. Somehow, at the full moon yacht party, Chloe elevated the controversial look with an Audrey Hepburn-esque twist. She wore a pink swimsuit with a high cut and threw on a sheer sarong in a matching hue low on her hip for a faux whale tail. Both pieces were custom-made by Jacquemus.

Her styling, however, was so sophisticated. In chunky gold earrings, black sunglasses, and a crochet hat, she looked nothing short of elegant.

7. Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn’s City Looks, Episode 4

Name a better-dressed trio than Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn. When they grew bored of the luxe hotel in Episode 4, they ventured into the city in some sartorial bangers. Laurie leaned into color-blocking by pairing a yellow crop with a blood orange button-down and printed bottoms.

Jaclyn went the coordinated route in an indigo floral kimono from Poupette St. Barth and a matching smocked bandeau. She completed the look with white shorts, sunglasses, and a tote. Meanwhile, Kate channeled main character energy in a yellow cutout dress from Alemais with a “cheugy” paisley print.

8. Victoria’s Billowy Dress, Episode 4

Victoria’s husband, Tim, was undergoing a full mental breakdown by Episode 4, but she was really none the wiser. The sartorial expression of her unbothered nature? Her breezy, billowy dress from Alemais ($495). The abstract print was ultra colorful, cheery, and even a bit loopy (just like her Lorazepam-addled husband).

9. Piper’s Cutout Dress, Episode 5

Out of all the hotel’s guests, Piper Ratliff seems to be the most conservatively dressed, keeping to monokinis and white summer dresses. The styling choice tracks, since she plans to stay in a Buddhist monastery. But she shocked audiences in Episode 5 when she showed up to dinner with her parents in a paisley print Zimmermann dress with waist cutouts — her spiciest yet.

10. Kate’s Floral Extravaganza, Episode 6

The morning after her eventful night in the city, Kate kept it light in a trio of florals. Her bikini alone featured two floral patterns (and two different shades of blue), and her sheer collared top was covered in a smattering of embroidered blooms.

11. Chelsea’s Retro Nostalgia, Episode 6

Chelsea is a fashion scene-stealer on the show. In Episode 6, she leaned into nostalgia and rocked a ’70s style retro braided bikini. She paired it with gold jewelry and a pop of white via her Valentino sunnies.

12. Chloe’s Color Blocking, Episode 6

By now, the show has established that Chloe is fearless. She’s not afraid to incite an incestuous moment, and, style-wise, she’ll boldly mix any colors she pleases. She expertly paired her cream bikini with a lilac wrap skirt and electric blue bag. So good.

13. Mook’s Mermaidcore Dress, Episode 7

As a White Lotus hotel employee, Mook’s looks have been relegated mostly to her staff uniform. In Episode 7, however, viewers finally got to see her out-of-office style. On her date with Gaitok, she wore a two-toned slip dress covered in marine life (starfish, corals, and more). It waded deep into “mermaidcore” territory, a fitting beachside look.

14. Victoria’s Asian-Inspired Tote, Episode 7

It’s unclear if Victoria has actually figured out where her family is vacationing (Thailand, not Taiwan as she famously stated). But at least her accessory in Episode 7 was fully Asian-inspired. She carried a colorful, patterned tote that featured tropical florals that looked like she could’ve picked it up from the White Lotus gift shop. She paired it with an LBD and a statement necklace.

15. Chloe’s Doll-Like Dress, Episode 7

Standing out in vivid hues has been Chloe’s style MO this season. But when Greg/Gary threw his house party, his co-host switched up her palette and channeled a real-life Barbie in a halter LBD with an A-line flare. Even her hair — a half-up, half-down ponytail — gave major doll vibes.

16. Kate’s Sunny Look, Episode 8

Kate’s pairing of a floral bikini top with loose, high-waist trousers in a vivid butter yellow was a masterclass in resortwear. Sadly, her sunny number was proof she had no clue what was to befall the hotel.

17. Piper’s Heart-Clad Dress, Episode 8

Piper took her affinity for cottagecore to a whole new level in this mellow yellow dress with its empire waist, billowy skirt, and saccharine heart pattern on the lacy trim. Paired with leather wedges and a massive tote? Piper, *yes*.

18. Chelsea’s Lime Number, Episode 8

The finale has too many Chelsea scenes forever seared in my memory (IYKYK), but I’d rather remember this chic lime green ensemble. The embroidery on the see-through kaftan was subtle yet decadent. Plus, paired with another shade of green (her minty bikini), it was easily her best look of the season.
