Bridesmaid dresses you'll shockingly want to wear again, according to @oliviaivey.

Let’s be real for a hot second: bridesmaid dresses have historically not been Net-a-Porter clickbait.

From the satin strapless panic of the late 2000s to the endless chiffon wrap dresses in every shade of “dusty,” most of us have accepted the role with a polite smile—and a quiet plan to list the dress on Poshmark the second it hits the shared album.

But brides have gotten chiller. The inspo is cuter. The group chat is full of unsolicited opinions (and at least one family friend who’s dangerously good at reverse image search).

Enter Olivia Ivey Bannock, the only person we trust to curate a bridesmaid lineup that whispers tradition but reads like it was styled by someone who’s been published in Vogue.

Based in LA by way of New York—and yes, still very much Canadian—Olivia brings a rare mix of editorial polish and private client savvy to OIB Style. She’s worked alongside fashion luminaries like Solange Franklin and luxury brands like Nili Lotan and Lapointe, making her the go-to stylist for It brides who want their wedding wardrobes to feel more runway than retail rack.

Olivia has the closet of a fashion insider, the eye of someone who actually attends shows, and a point of view that says “I do” without doing the most.

You might know her from her weekly edit newsletter Wednesday Wishlist or her brand Shop Olivet—the cult-favorite travel accessory line dominating your For You Page (and quietly winning as the ultimate bridesmaid gift).

Now Olivia's bringing her stylist POV to the bridal party, curating a moodboard of dresses you’ll actually want to tag in your “My favorite people in the world are married!!!” Instagram.

So whether you’ve been assigned rust satin, midnight chiffon, or “anything in the champagne family but not metallic,” consider this your cheat sheet for bridesmaid looks that are, honestly, really fucking chic.
