In fact, this 2016 has been an ethereal year for wearing these majestic-looking cape outfits that have frequented the red carpet and the runways.

Before, it only limits women to wear them on very special occasions because it looks a bit dramatic and elegant. Today, cape dresses are everywhere and it’s even a huge thing this coming fall season. In this article, let’s take a look at these gorgeous cape dresses worn by the stars and how to style them both for elegant and casual occasions.
