Pared back and clean cut, stars are working all-white looks for maximum impact.
ELLE coverstar Rihanna leads the way in her white hot cutaway Alexander Wang number, while at the other end of the scale, Elle Fanning is a picture of innocence in her virginal A-line dress.
Elsewhere, Miranda Kerr stays on the white side of polished off-duty style, while Jessica Alba keeps her canvas blank to add bite to neat, tailored pieces.
But against the glare of the red carpet, never did white shine more. Its why Charlize Therons exquisitely cut Dior gown, was one of ELLEs favourite Oscars 2013 dresses.
