Monique Lhuillier plus lace, plus a fashion-forward silhouette, equals an instant bridal success. Which is exactly why Julianne Hough's Monique Lhuillier strapless lace crop top and curve-hugging lace pencil skirt (and floral-printed Stuart Weitzman pumps!) caught our attention. As you already probably know, crop tops are all the rage in the wedding world right now, and mixing the modern bridal separates with the most classic fabric, lace, makes it an instant hit. The best part? The crop top is so slight, only showing a sliver of skin, that Grandma won't have a heart attack come the big day. Both edgy and romantic, Hough knocked it out of the park with this white lace number. P.S. if you're not sure you'd want to wear this for your wedding, it'd work really well as a rehearsal dinner or bridal shower look too!
If you're feeling a little bit daring, you can get this look yourself! Here, a few similar styles to choose from:

Houghton: Adding illusion lace sleeves to your crop top skirt combo makes your modern moment in the spotlight even more bridal. Unlike Hough's tight-fitting bottom, this skirt flows out into a perfect A-line.

Monique Lhuillier: Love Hough's look but don't know if you can rock a crop top? No worries! Monique Lhuillier's ready-to-wed line has a strapless, straight-cut lace number you'll love just as much.
