Emma Stone & Kate Mara Wear Little White Dresses

Wylde / Splash News

Emma Stone, Kate Mara, and Julianne Hough are here to say you can wear white after Labor Day! Each of the stars donned little white dresses this week, proving that the style staple works all year round.

Stone worked her bow-accented Giambattista Valli LWD during an appearance on Good Morning America, pairing the frock with studded caramel brown Valentino pumps. At a Botkier dinner in New York City, Mara took an sharper approach, teaming her tulle-trimmed bright white minidress by Vielma London with pointed-toe pumps, a dark leather clutch, and a selection of Love Adorned jewels. And Hough's sheer lace Self-Portrait number stood out at Samsung Electronics’s #DITCHtheDSLR event, which she styled with nude platform Christian Louboutin heels.

Looking to try the seasonless LWD yourself? Well, it's all in the styling. Pay attention to the frock's silhouette, and choose pieces that show only a hint of skin or fabrics with an interesting texture to soften up the stark white shade. As for accessories, add metallic jewels or a nude shoe to warm up your look, and voilà!
