If Selena Gomez has a fashion agenda for summer 2024, it's to try every variation of the little white dress under the sun.

After testing the peplum trend in a white mini dress at Cannes and elevating her summer work wardrobe with a Banana Republic dress at the conference, she is now in vacation mode with a strapless Free People maxi dress and matching headband.

Selena Gomez showed off her affordable outfit on Instagram through a surprisingly relatable July 4 snap. Photos shared on her Instagram Story and boyfriend Benny Blanco's Instagram Story reveal that the two spent a relaxing day in the sun and secluded outdoors. Gomez posed in a Free People "St. Tropez" dress, a white maxi covered in graffiti fruit and toucans. Very not office-appropriate.

The dress, tagged at under $300, is just the beginning of Gomez's latest shop-worthy outfit. She coordinated this carefree piece with two accessories found on recent 20- and 30-somethings' dressers: a wide white headband and gold hoop earrings.

Of all the dresses Selena Gomez has worn this summer, her Free People maxi is most suited for an island getaway (see: Toucan illustration), or at least for preparing for one. It is also a continuation of the color story that Gomez began earlier this spring with her new stylist, Erin Walsh.

The founder of Rare Beauty has gravitated toward an all-white palette with pops of red and black for red carpet walks and official business occasions. The movement began at the Rare Beauty conference with an intentionally wrinkled off-the-shoulder dress, continued at the Cannes Film Festival in the form of a peplum self-portrait mini dress and a Saint Laurent red carpet dress, and most recently at the Nexus Summit She turned to business casual in a linen Banana Republic dress. Of course, there are exceptions, like Gigi Hadid's Versace black dress on the runway.

Gomez's color shift could open up all kinds of interpretations. Perhaps she is choosing this color to keep cool (as lighter tones do not absorb heat), or perhaps she is leaning toward the symbolic nature of white as a sign of new beginnings. All we can determine from appearances is that her latest Free People dress, and similar versions on the market, arrived just in time for a vacation wardrobe upgrade.
