All-American Summer Fashion

Benjamin Bratt and his wife, actress Talisa Soto Bratt, take cool summer clothes—all by American designers—for a test-drive.

Short Order

On the beach or in a diner booth, this racy mini (Members Only, $187) has serious allure, especially with strappy red heels (Charles David). "I love the femininity of a little summer dress," says Talisa, although she admits that life with two children (Sophia, 6, and Mateo, 3) doesn't always lend itself to glamour. She calls family "our number one priority"—she's put her career on hold until the kids are older. But she does have a small part in the upcoming film La Mission, which Benjamin says is "a labor of love"—he stars, and his brother Peter wrote and directed it. Slated for fall release, it's the story of an old-school Latino father and a gay son in San Francisco.
