Actress and cookbook author Ali Larter has us dreaming of our next oceanside vacation. The Final Destination actress stepped out in a stylish navy blue cover-up with white piping for an afternoon at a Los Angeles beach. Her tailored minidress from BASK is made of Turkish terry velour, and can also be worn as a chic double-breasted blazer. She is also sporting a pair of delicate leaf earrings from Alexandra Jules.

She previously twinned with fellow actress, author, and model Molly Sims. In an adorable birthday shout-out on her Instagram, Larter uploaded a picture featuring the two friends standing in front of a lake sporting their Great Gatsby-inspired pieces over their bikinis.

Sims rocked the navy version while Larter switched it up and went for a pale blue option. Although the double-duty cover-up retails for $335 and can be monogrammed, you can also borrow her blazer in black from Rent the Runway for $55. The retailer also has two similar versions in navy with light blue or red trim for $50 and $45, respectively.

Gaining favor with the preps in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Palm Beach, alongside a crop of Hollywood starlets, this classic look can quickly take you from the beach to your next clambake. And with only two more days until the Fourth of July, this smart fashion staple still has time to potentially become the next big summer trend.
