Jessica Alba is traveling through Europe with Gabrielle Union, promoting their new show, L.A.’s Finest. (Sure, it’s work for them—but doesn’t a Euro trip with those two sound fun?) Both have been serving looks left and right, as two incredibly stylish actresses do when they’re on a press tour. But of all their outfits, there’s one that stands out, thanks to the price tag.
While in Croatia, Alba shared sun-drenched shot of herself wearing a summery LBD with a pair of dangling seashell earrings. Seasonally, it was on point. The best part, though? The earrings are seriously affordable.
Alba procured her seashell accessory, like many others looking for affordable takes on the trends we can’t help but love, from BaubleBar. The earrings go for the easy price of $36.
Her dress, meanwhile, was Ulla Johnson, and retails for $625.
Worn together, they’re a master class in high-low styling—much like how Julia Roberts paired a custom Salvatore Ferragamo suit with a $44 rainbow ring, also from BaubleBar.
Alba’s the latest to endorse fashion’s favorite nostalgic accessory trend for 2019: all-shell-everything. Gigi Hadid wore shell jewelry to Coachella.
Vanessa Hudgens wore it on a date.
Countless bloggers have worn them in far-flung locations.
It’s as if every purchase of a shell accessory—be it an earring, necklace, or anklet—comes with a dose of wanderlust, free of charge. You might not be able to buy the vacation, but you sure can put on a pair of seashell hoops with your favorite sundress and pretend like you’re sipping spritzes on the Mediterranean.
