Rock A Formal Romper Like Kiernan Shipka

by Rosie Narasaki

Can you believe Mad Men only has one more episode before its sure-to-be-stunning final exit? Luckily for us, Kiernan Shipka's wore a formal romper that reminds us why we're pumped her career is far from over. The actress is still making movies and glamorous red carpet appearances right and left. In fact, she just headed out to Arkansas for the first-ever Bentonville Film Festival, to promote her newest film, Fan Girl (in which she stars as the titular fan girl, alongside Meg Ryan and Moonrise Kingdom actress Kara Hayward). She kept things laid-back and fun, yet still maintained her signature polished flair in what might just be the most ladylike romper ever.

I've always been somewhat on the fence about rompers (I have a long torso, so they rarely fit me right), but this might just have changed my mind — who knew rompers could look so polished? With the right styling, they might even make the perfect wedding attire (and lord knows wedding season is coming fast apace). So, with that in mind, I did a little shopping around the Internet, and found several Kiernan Shipka-inspired, formal-esque rompers. Let's take a look!
