When you can't be bothered to figure out what to wear, you're likely to reach out for one no-fail piece from your closet. It might be a classic tee and a pair of denim jeans or a cute blouse and mini skirt. In Barbie Forteza’s case, one wardrobe essential she simply can’t live without is a dainty dress. While we’ve mostly seen the 25-year-old in traditional Filipiniana outfits for her recent role in the teleserye Maria Clara at Ibarra, off-duty Barbie enjoys sporting pretty frocks in flattering cuts.

LOOK: 7 Dainty Dresses Outfits Seen on Barbie Forteza
1. You can’t go wrong with a baby doll dress! As seen here on Barbie, it injects the right amount of playfulness into any look with its tiered skirt and puffed sleeves. The actress added a sporty touch by opting for a trusty pair of white sneakers to complete her OOTD.

2. For a more striking look, choose a dress in a head-turning hue just like Barbie’s fuchsia pink number. Besides its smocked detailing and ruffled skirt, her dress features a hubadera spin by way of its exposed back.

3. An A-line dress is perfect if you want something with a flattering silhouette. Just take it from Barbie here who donned a gingham mini dress in a light peach shade.

4. Don’t be afraid to play with different textures in your outfit! The actress’ red ensemble is unexpectedly chic as it combines smocked fabric, vertical stripes, and a floral pattern throughout one dress.

5. We could go on all day about why a little white dress is a must-have in one’s arsenal but we’ll let Barbie’s neutral look here do all the talking. Her LWD’s eyelet details and ruffled shoulders are definitely exuding summer-girl vibes. For a splash of color, the actress went with a pair of scarlet Hermès Oran sandals.

6. If you truly want to channel the cottagecore aesthetic, then do as Barbie does and slip into a floral dress. While this type of dress comes in a plethora of variations, hers in particular comes in a light purple shade dotted with yellow and orange flowers.

7. Neutral shades are one of the most timeless colors to sport and would make a welcome addition to anyone’s wardrobe. Here, Barbie is seen rocking a mini pleated dress in a light latte shade that she teamed with a similar-hued handbag.
