Dress: Carlee Dress in Plum by Simkhai (Thanks Nick)
Summer Newman's style on Y&R has always been a blend of bold and beautiful, but her latest choice, the Carlee dress in plum by Simkhai, takes this to a new level. This dark purple leather dress is not just a fashion statement; it's a narrative of style evolution in daytime television. The deep V-neckline and sleeveless, faux wrap bodice create a flattering silhouette, while the ruching adds a touch of sophistication. What truly sets this piece apart is the front ruffle with its fringed edge, softening the inherent edginess of leather and adding a playful, yet elegant dimension to the look. This dress is a testament to Summer's character - strong and edgy but with an undeniable grace and softness. It's a perfect example of how contemporary fashion can be integrated into traditional TV settings, pushing the boundaries of what is expected and celebrated in soap opera fashion.
