Rachael Kirkconnell’s Latest Collaboration Offers Perfect Outfits for Girls’ Nights Out to ‘BiP’

Rachael Kirkconnell has launched a versatile collection with Showpo that caters to various occasions.

The 28-year-old Kirkconnell shared details about her new line, “Golden Era,” in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly following its release on Sunday, March 16. The “trendy and fun” collection draws inspiration from a “golden hour vibe” and features an array of styles, including sheer mint dresses, ruffled mini styles, as well as leopard maxis and embellished pieces. “Since I’m entering a new phase in my life, calling it the Golden Era seemed fitting,” Kirkconnell remarked to Us, reflecting on her January breakup with Matt James.

The piece she’s most eager to wear is a cheetah maxi dress featuring a balconette top, slim straps, and a bodycon silhouette. Highlighting her affinity for white designs in the collection, Kirkconnell expressed her hope that friends — especially brides-to-be — will wear these outfits for their engagements or bachelorette parties: “I would love to see that,” she mentioned.

As the temperatures rise, Kirkconnell plans to embrace her crisp looks. “Spring and summer mean wearing white for me, so I can definitely see myself getting a lot of wear out of it,” she added.

The star of The Bachelor also suggested to Us that the long leopard dress is ideal for a girl’s night out. “You’re turning heads, but it’s not about the males that evening. It’s about enjoying time with your friends,” she elaborated.

Kirkconnell also mentioned that several of her other designs, including an off-the-shoulder lace dress in white, could serve as a stunning outfit for a Bachelor in Paradise rose ceremony, returning to screens this year. “I can imagine that as a beach look,” she told Us, adding that another black strapless floral dress would be a standout choice as well. “That would be a fantastic beach moment.”

Regarding her personal plans, Kirkconnell revealed to Us that she’s not looking to find romance on the sandy beaches of Mexico this summer. “I’m not sure I want to date someone from the franchise again,” she admitted honestly. “I’m uncertain about that possibility.”

While she may not re-enter the Bachelor Nation, Kirkconnell still finds inspiration in her collection for potential first date outfits.

“I would recommend a fun tube dress with vibrant floral patterns for more casual daytime dates,” she suggested. “For evening outings, I would probably opt for one of the chic little black dresses or a pop of color with a bold green dress. They are sexy yet romantic and elegant.”

When it comes to celebrities modeling her collection, Kirkconnell would be elated to see Keke Palmer or Zendaya sporting her designs.

“Zendaya is my ultimate fashion icon; I’ve been really into her style lately,” Kirkconnell confessed, noting that she also believes the leopard-print mini and maxi dresses would suit Palmer perfectly.

Regarding her personal fashion choices, Kirkconnell is focused on acquiring “staples” that will last for “10 years.” One of her current favorite trends — which is making waves this spring — is cowgirl boots, which she thinks will complement her Showpo dresses wonderfully. “I adore the cowboy vibe because it’s casual and comfortable,” she shared. “They’re not heels. You won’t be teetering in stilettos, yet they still have a fashionable flair.”
