Channel Your Inner Andie Anderson In These Iconic Yellow Dresses

Step aside, Andy Sachs and Jenna Rink: Andie Anderson is becoming one of my rom-com fashion role models. If you haven’t seen How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days (excuse me, where have you been?), you have to watch this 2003 rom-com for some serious fashion inspo. Anderson, played by Kate Hudson, is a confident journalist who not only has a killer job, but an amazing sense of style, too. The movie is having a serious moment of resurgence on TikTok, and there’s one look in particular Gen Zers are loving: the iconic yellow dress from the breakup scene. 

While yellow may get a bad rap as one of the hardest colors to wear, Anderson makes it look effortless in this satin backless gown. Who ever said blondes can’t wear yellow? If you’re looking to channel your inner Andie Anderson, here are 12 similar yellow dresses that are sure to turn heads. (Sadly, Matthew McConaughey isn’t included with any purchase.)

This lemon-hued mini is perfect for your next formal.

2. Laundry by Shelli Segal Square Neck Mermaid Gown ($198)

Have something a bit more formal coming up? This sunny gown is sure to make a statement.

3. Reformation Maddison Silk Dress ($89)

I’m obsessed with the chic halter neckline on this silk midi. Pair it with a strappy nude heel and a simple updo.

4. Girlfriend Collective Lemonade Paloma Racerback Dress ($92)

If you’re not exactly the fancy dress type, this bright workout dress is perfect for every day. It transitions well, from workouts to coffee runs and everything in between.

5. ALIX NYC Paulis Midi Tank Dress ($78)

A one-shoulder neckline and open back add a sexy spin to this bodycon midi. 

6. Reformation Arta Dress ($278)

This sweet, strapless midi is definitely going on my wishlist. The ruffled hem lends a romantic feel to this dress.

7. Nadia Maxi Satin Dress With Back Cowl ($115)

This satin dress practically screams Andie Anderson. Anyone have a diamond necklace lying around to pair with this?

8. Abercrombie Off-The-Shoulder Puff Sleeve Mini Dress ($35)

For something a bit more casual, this floral off-the-shoulder mini is a great go-to.

9. Solid & Striped The Ariana Dress ($118)

Have a warm weather getaway coming up? (I’m jealous.) Pack this vibrant cutout midi that was practically made for vacation.

10. Susana Monaco Back Cutout Tube Dress ($158)

This buttery yellow mini is the colorful update to your favorite LBD — I’m deeming it the LYD. The keyhole back adds just enough drama to an otherwise simple dress.

11. Lulus Perfectly Classy Yellow Satin Strappy Maxi Dress ($89)

This dress is always selling out — for good reason! It’s the *perfect* dupe for Andie’s iconic gown.
