For the first time in my entire life, I am watching the Bachelor. Yes, I finally hopped on the American bandwagon and was influenced by all of my friends. I am HOOKED. Every Monday at 8pm, my friends and I will get snacks, get together for the next two hours, and watch.
I have noticed from my friends and through social media that Maria is a fan favorite. She is so fun, beautiful, and coming from the last episode, she keeps not only Joey, but us, on our toes. But one of the things I noticed about her early on is that she has impeccable style. No matter what happens after this season, I think she could easily become a fashion icon. I love her outfits so much that I will scour the internet looking for them to buy myself, and then become disappointed when I find out how outrageously expensive they are. For my other fans of Maria and her iconic style, here are some of my favorites of the outfits she has worn, well!
During the first episode, Maria changed her outfit into something “more comfortable,” which is this beautiful set. She looked absolutely stunning, and the set really compliments her. You can pair it with boots or heels, and would look really good with chunky jewelry and a belly chain. The set is from the brand Bareminerale, and you have to individually purchase the bra top, bolero and skirt. Combined, the set is around four hundred dollars, so I will be looking all over to find a dupe for this fabulous outfit.
Another one of Maria’s outfits that I really like is this white House of CB dress. It’s a little edgy with the plunging top and corset waist, and fun and flirty with the skirt. It is not cheap, similar to the rest of Maria’s envying wardrobe, and is being sold for $185 off of Selfridges.

One of Maria’s definitely more affordable pieces that she wore is this super cute brown puffer jacket. It is from Garage, and is on sale for $42 right now! It’s perfect for this in between winter to spring weather, and brown is such an elevated and trendy color right now.
One of my favorite dresses of Maria’s is this green Vintage Alexander McQueen gown. I can’t even begin to imagine how expensive this is, but it is so beautiful, and looks absolutely incredible on her. It reminds me of what old Hollywood actresses would wear to red carpets. I think that it would be styled so well with some gold chunky jewelry and hoop earrings.
I do really like this simple black dress that Maria wore at a rose ceremony. It’s classy and modest in the front with the long skirt and sleeves and the high neck, but it’s elevated with the full open back. The brand of the dress is The Line by K, and is retailed for $149. You can definitely find very similar dresses for less from brands like Na-kd or Princess Polly.
Something that I was so excited about buying, but immediately let down by was this gorgeous flower halter top that Maria wore. It is Vintage Ema Savahl, who makes one of a kind tops. Tops that are sold online that are similar to Maria’s are priced at $900, which is just unjustifiable in my opinion. I will now be on a hunt to find a similar top because I am obsessed, and I think tops like these are perfect for summer.
Another one of Maria’s tops that I really like is this gray mini dress from Belle the Label, and is being sold for $144. I love that it is simple and classy at the top, and the skirt is so frilly and fun. If Belle the Label comes out with a version of this in black I will definitely be purchasing.
A dress I’ve been eyeing for awhile that Maria was wearing is this Bec and Bridge dress. I am absolutely obsessed with this brand, and the dresses are so effortlessly elegant. I love the drop back, and I think wearing your hair down or in a sleek bun would be perfect. I was actually thinking about wearing a dress like this for an upcoming wedding, and Maria wearing this convinced me.

On the iconic two on one date consisting of Maria, Sydney and Joey, Maria showed up in this really fun swimsuit coverup dress from Dodo Bar Or. I think this would be perfect for Spring Break or a beach trip, and I am envisioning a fun bikini underneath. However, it is quite pricey as it’s being sold for $225, but I’m sure there are similar coverups on the market.
