Emilia Fox's cherry blossom print midi is the perfect alternative to sleeveless dresses when you want to be cool and comfy

Emilia Fox poses for a photo as she joins Audi at the Henley Festival 2026 on July 11, 2026 in Henley-on-Thames.

Sleeveless dresses might sound like a no-brainer style to wear in the heat but they're not for everyone. If you aren't confident showing off your upper arms or just like more coverage when it's really sunny, longer sleeves can be beautiful as well as breezy. Emilia Fox proved this with her The Fold dress which she wore to attend Henley Festival with Audi in scorching temperatures.

This summery-sounding Portofino dress is made from silk chiffon and is still available in a few sizes, down to £375 from £625. It's still a luxurious piece, though it's perfect to take inspiration from too as it has a high rounded neckline and billowing long sleeves.
