Shop The Exact Fashion In 'The White Lotus' Season 3 - It's More Fabulous Than Ever
From the archival Chanel gown worn as a beach cover-up, to that head-turning red bikini, these are the looks we're dreaming of adding to our own resortwear rotation.
After what feels like years of waiting, The White Lotus is officially back for season 3 – and it couldn't be more impeccably timed. With its thrilling plot-lines, complex and constantly-evolving characters, spectacular Thai vistas, fabulous fashion and intrigue aplenty, Mike White's hit show has a unique ability to pull its audience out of even the deepest of February funks, if only for one hour a week.
Longtime fans already know that The White Lotus is all about the details, so it's only fitting that the characters' wardrobes be every bit as carefully thought-out and curated as everything else on the show. But this time around, the Emmy-nominated costume designer Alex Bovaird has taken the fashion to a whole new level. So much so, that she's now started uploading the items from each cast member's wardrobe to shop via her Instagram. She knows what the people want.

In the first episode alone, we've spotted everything from an archival Chanel gown (worn as a casual beach cover-up, naturally), to current-season cult bags by Gucci, Loewe and Valentino – not to mention a good few watches and pieces of jewellery worn with a nonchalance that belies their astronomical value. As is to be expected with such a 'loud luxury' lot, instantly recognisable status symbols abound, alongside all the high-end, insider-favourite resortwear brands (Eres, Zimmermann, Tara Matthews et al) that you'd expect to find by the pool of any real-life five-star resort frequented by such wealthy people.
It goes without saying that we prefer our own holidays decidedly murder- and drama-free, but wardrobe-wise at least, we can't help but want in. So, we've rounded up all of the best outfits and fashion moments from each episode of The White Lotus season three, plus the pieces to shop if you want to copy them down to a T.
The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 8
Justice for Chelsea! Caught quite literally in Rick's crossfire, it wasn't the ending we wanted for her. But costume designer Alex Boivard has revealed that the gold necklace she wore throughout the season, engraved with the words 'Stay Gold' inspired by the 1983 film The Outsiders, was indeed a foreshadowing to her fate.
The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 8
Her husband might be making her and the family lethal piña coladas, but Victoria Ratliff looks every part the Southern Belle in this Lanvin dress with long pearls. Her dress is no longer available, but we've found a similar yellow floral option from Erdem. The women of the cast have worn David Webb's jewellery throughout the show, and the finale was no different.
The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 8
As they watch Jaclyn take a photo with hotel owners Sritala and Jim Hollinger, Kate and Laurie watch on looking the epitome of beach holiday chic. Kate's Zimmermann bikini top is no longer available, but The Outnet has plenty of similar options. It's perfectly balanced with her wide-leg lemon yellow trousers.
The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 8
Chloe and Chelsea's high-end choice of beach bags caught our eyes at the start of the final episode of Season 3. Chelsea is carrying a 2009 Louis Vuitton Kalahari bag, from Marc Jacobs' tenure as creative director — perfectly fitting for her boho-loving character. Chloe has a Jacquemus zebra Bambola, paired with her white cut-out swimsuit.
The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 7
Gary AKA Greg makes Belinda an offer at the end of Episode 7 — but will she accept it? We don't know, but we do know she has an amazing selection of kaftans. This embellished pink one is from Verandah.
The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 7
This was an evening filled with propositions. Saxon continues to pursue Chelsea — but she's having none of it. Staying loyal to the still absent Rick, she wore this fab beaded Valentino bag to Chloe and Gary's house party. The silver version is no longer available, but we've hunted down the black one. Paired with these mega Giuseppe Zanotti bow heels (which are now half price), this a killer outfit to reject someone's advances in.
