If you're a fan of Sex and the City, you know that our girl Carrie Bradshaw always added a little something extra to her looks that would take them from stylish to runway-worthy. One thing that comes to my mind? Bold, 3D floral appliqués, which she donned everywhere from New York to Paris, no doubt turning heads all the while. Well, it appears Ms. Bradshaw was once again ahead of the curve, because these fashionable flower accents are everywhere for summer 2025.

Whether you add these A New Day Lillian flower heels ($40; $32) to your footwear rotation or pack this Kate Spade Flora Rose crossbody ($449; $154) for your next vacation, this fun, flirty trend will have you looking just as fabulous as the fashion icon herself.

You don't just have to just take my word for it, though. Scroll on for ten flower-embellished styles I found at Revolve, Zara and more that totally speak for themselves.

These cute heels are proof that you don't have to spend a fortune to pull off this trend. The heel clocks in at a manageable 3 inches, and they even have a memory foam insole to make them easier to hit the town in, Carrie-style. Just take it from this buyer, who writes, "The sandal is very comfortable and beautiful. The heel is just the right size and it is worth every penny."

Take a look at this gorgeous lime green maxi and tell me that it doesn't look like it was pulled straight from Carrie's closet. The one-shoulder neckline is topped off with an oversized matching flower, which is actually detachable, so you can switch up the style as you please. Then again, it goes so well with the ruffled hem and cha-cha-worthy slit, I couldn't think of a reason to remove it. Add in the fact that it's made from an airy blend of linen and viscose, and I'd say you found your new favorite party dress for summer.

Searching for a statement purse? Look no further than this Kate Spade beauty, which is decked out with a giant straw embellishment in the shape of a rose. Statement-making design aside, it has a fairly roomy lined interior and an adjustable crossbody strap that allows you to carry it hands-free. As one shopper says, "This bag elevates a simple outfit, and is a standout in the room. Unlike some other bags, this one is also functional, providing plenty of space to carry [a] phone, small wallet, keys, etc. Highly recommend." Now that it's on sale for a total steal, I wouldn't hesitate to scoop it up—Carrie certainly wouldn't.

This polyester piece (featuring not one, but two gorgeous blooms) has a long, thin cord that's meant to be worn around your neck as a choker. IMO, it's one of the easiest (and most versatile) pieces you can use to embrace the trend, as you can style it up with a little black dress for a cocktail party or throw it on with jeans and a tank top to make a casual fit instantly chicer.

Why buy basic flip-flops when you can buy this shiny style adorned with large and lovely floral appliqués? I bet you can't think of a reason, so here's what you need to know: They're made entirely of slick rubber that should be totally beach and pool friendly, and multiple reviewers note that they fit true to size. For under $40, you really can't pass 'em up.

This is the number one best-selling short-sleeve dress at Revolve right now, and I don't have to wonder why. Between its fancy tulle fabric, figure-hugging fit and 3D floral embellishments, it's a total showstopper. In fact, several buyers mention that they received more compliments on this dress than anything they've ever worn(!!!). Let's just say that if you want to turn heads at your next summertime soirée, you'll add this puff-sleeve pick to your cart ASAP.

Understated accessories are so overrated, so go ahead and grab these statement earrings that are perfect for parties and vacays. The silky flowers are attached to a metallic half-hoop that should be easy to put on and wear; indeed, one reviewer raves that they're so comfortable and lightweight, it doesn't even feel like you're wearing them. The earrings come in three colorways (yellow/silver, blue/gold and deep orange/gold, to be exact), and are less than $40, so really, how can you resist?

Want to channel Carrie Bradshaw with your look without completely overhauling your closet? Say no more. Secure this fabric clip to give your hair some easy floral flair. Thanks to its claw design, you can use it to put your hair up or create a half-up, half-down look. Either way, this burgundy accessory won't go unnoticed, and it's only $26!

One reviewer says they want to "wear this dress over and over and over again," and you probably will, too. Not just because it features dainty 3D rosettes that will have you, as its name suggests, making an "exceptional entrance" wherever you wear it, but more importantly, because it has a classic fit-and-flare tiered design that should look flattering on anyone. I'll let one buyer tell it: "I feel beautiful in this dress. It's true to size and fits a larger bust, which is perfect for me. The layers hide just enough to really be feminine and pretty without making you look heavier." The polyester piece also has a sexy V-back, square neckline and hidden zipper on the side to keep you looking and feeling super snatched. TL;DR? This $89 stunner (which is available in several colors) won't disappoint this summer, whether you don it to a wedding or a garden party.

While this boxy crossbody is made of polyurethane, it totally looks like leather. So, if you're in the market for a handbag that looks more expensive than it is, then this baby—featuring 3D flower details, a zip closure, double handles and a double strap—definitely fits the bill. Thanks to its neutral, off-white color, it should also match any outfit, so don't be surprised if it becomes your new go-to for events and beyond. (You can thank me later.)
