Spring is finally here, and with it, springtime dressing: pastoral, pretty, playful. Anya Taylor-Joy, for one, is kicking off her Super Mario Galaxy<\/em> Movie<\/em> press tour in a runway-tipped spring summer 2026 trend<\/a>: the apron dress.<\/p>\n The actor, who stars as the iconic Princess Peach in The Super Mario Galaxy<\/em> Movie<\/em>, stepped out for a press event in Osaka, Japan wearing a rose and green floral mini apron dress by August Barron. The dress<\/a>, from the brand\u2019s \u201cReal Housewife\u201d spring 2026 collection<\/a>, features a soft pattern, halter apron straps, and a flippy, sheer skirt. Styled by Ryan Hastings, she also wore dusty pink, pointed open-toe sandals and several Tiffany&Co. rings. Leaning more into the supremely feminine aesthetic of Peach, she wore her icy blonde hair half-up, half-down with a brick red lip and matching nails.<\/p>\n August Barron spring 2026.<\/p>\n <\/span>Photo: Pascal Gambarte \/ Courtesy of August Barron<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Miu Miu spring 2026.<\/p>\n <\/span>Photo: Isidore Montag \/ Gorunway.com<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Aprons were a surprise standout trend with designers and on the runways for this coming season. Miu Miu<\/a> sent aprons down the catwalk as a \u201cconsideration of the work of women,\u201d described as \u201csimultaneously utilitarian and decorative,\u201d then worn on the red carpet by Emma Corrin who styled one over a tee and jeans. The apron, here, feels like a funhouse mirror reflecting the times we\u2019re in, interrogating the theater of femininity amid the era of the trad wife. Myha\u2019la<\/a> stepped out for the Industry<\/em> season four premiere wearing a leather iteration, a smart, sexed up take on workwear. (Like Anya Taylor-Joy on previous occasions, she was also styled by Law Roach.)<\/p>\n Rather, for August Barron and designers Benjamin Barron and Bror August Vestb\u00f8, it\u2019s a piece within a collection of multi-layer cardigans, poufy petticoat skirts, and shirts and slips that warp sensually around the body. 1950s-esque curtain fabrics and pearl-studded straps were juxtaposed with BDSM style boots and leathers. It\u2019s an offering that expands on the tensions within femininity by subverting domestic stereotypes and playing with various states of undress.<\/p>\n![\"August](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/68e02167447fe8191588440e\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/00018-august-barron-spring-2026-ready-to-wear-credit-brand-pascal-gambarte.jpg\"\/)
