We count on our mothers to give us life and love, but a new level is reached when your mom is the reason behind your latest style slay.

The star paired the dress with simple, strappy, rose gold sandals and minimal accessories and gave major face with a super natural yet striking beauty look that perfectly complemented her ensemble.

Now this is how you gear up for summer! Work, Michaela!
