A little black dress is a popular choice when it comes to red carpet events (see: Salma Hayek in Balenciaga and Cate Blanchett in Carl Kapp) or in Rebecca Hall’s case, a little black Prada. However, with only a months left of summer (cue the tears), the little white dress is competing for top honours.
Mad Men‘s Kiernan Shipka and January Jones channelled their alter mother-daughter ego and coordinated outfits at the 8th annual Oceana SeaChange summer party in Dana Point, California. While Shipka looked lovely as always in a white Antonio Berardi dress, Jones aced this season’s favourable sheer trend in a fit-and-flare white Maje look. Kate Mara showed us how to beat the heat with a loose-fitting white dress, which she debuted alongside a new pixie cut while promoting her upcoming flick, Fantastic Four.
