The most iconic and memorable weekend of the year is upon us. The weekend when the seniors of SMU flock to the notorious Sin City. From day pool parties at AYU DayClub to dancing the night away at TAO nightclub, the fun is endless. But we are forgetting the most important thing: the outfits. Not only is this weekend such an exciting time for our seniors, but it’s a real-life fashion show for the Vegas goers. Sequins, feathers, metallics, you name it – the ultimate fashion contest begins. Here’s some inspiration for your Vegas trip: outfits that turn heads, and cater to the ultimate it-Girl.
The Day Party
Colorful meets elegant with this look. You can never go wrong with a vibrant print maxi from LunaB and classic orange Hermès sandals. The long-sleeve maxi is such a perfect pick for a fall pool party. It is comfortable, breathable, and super flattering. Pair it with your favorite sunnies and you are ready to go!

The In-between
This look is perfect for the ‘on-the-go’ girl, who needs an outfit that will work for any spontaneous adventure. A sheer maxi from Janthee paired with this layered pearl necklace and a flip-flop kitten heel is the perfect uniform for all-day wear. Alexis Bennett Parker, former writer at Vogue, states “The most notable characteristic to remember when shopping for one of the best maxi dresses is to look for designs that offer versatility—think breezy styles that can pair well with your go-to sneakers, dainty ballet flats, comfy fisherman sandals, or sleek wedges.” This maxi dress pairs with any basic heel, and can truly function with a plethora of accessories.

The Nighttime
Arguably SMU Look’s favorite nighttime glitzy brand, Asta Resort is no stranger in today’s fashion world. From beach looks to nighttime soirees, Asta Resort has got it all. The ‘Yasmin’ set from their pre-fall ‘24 collection has made a show-stopping entrance into the closets of it-girls everywhere. In the release of their pre-fall ‘24 campaign, Asta Resort featured the renowned Grace Burns to be the face of the collection. The campaign, named ‘To Catch a Star’ captures the femininity and elegance factor seen within the collection. This set paired with a classic thin gold hoop from LuvAJ and a pastel pink kitten heel from Jeffrey Campbell will be a guaranteed knockout.
