She shone on the 2012 Oscars red carpet in a white Tom Ford gown, and now Gwyneth Paltrow is making yet another strong case for minimalistic white dresses. At an Obama fundraiser in London, the actress donned a Tom Ford white square-neck, long-sleeved, knee-length fitted dress with black pumps and a box clutch. Not that you need another example of how killer white can be, but let Gwyneth's latest choice inspire you to add an equally gorgeous white minimalistic dress to your mix. We recommend you choose one that's professional enough to wear with a blazer and pumps at work and sassy enough to sport with sexy sandals and baubles at night.

Elizabeth Olsen Shows a Boyish Way to Wear Your Striped Skirts

Elizabeth Olsen stopped by the Live!

Elizabeth Olsen stopped by the Live! With Kelly and Michael show in NYC working a below-the-knee navy-and-white striped skirt with a black sweater and tan ostrich oxfords. It's a simple look and one that can be easily re-created with pieces you probably already own. Just pair any striped skirt — it need not be the same colors or silhouette — with a solid sweater, then finish off with boyish oxfords like the ones we chose below or these Maison Martin Margiela gray ostrich oxfords ($360). For a nighttime version, swap the flat oxfords for a pair of high-heeled oxfords, like these Hinge cognac lace-up peep-toe pumps ($60, originally $120).

Joshua Jackson Once Cut Diane Kruger Out of Dior To Use the Bathroom

We're excited to bring you the best fashion finds, shopping stories, and style news from one of our favorite sites, Fashionista.

We're excited to bring you the best fashion finds, shopping stories, and style news from one of our favorite sites, Fashionista. Today, they're giving us a little behind-the-scenes tale of Diane Kruger and her Dior Couture.

For Diane Kruger, the drama at May’s Cannes Film Festival didn’t stop when the movies ended. The actress told People that she was faced with a rather unfortunate predicament when it came her voluminous vintage Dior Couture gown and, well, relieving herself:

“[The gown] had a huge bodice. It was so big that it took me an hour to get into it and the only way for me to go to the bathroom was to take off the bodice. Once I finished dinner, I had to go to the bathroom and it became so tight that I couldn’t breathe anymore.”

But fret not–despite the dire circumstances, it wasn’t Kruger’s time to go (though in other respects, it was!) Thankfully, her ridiculously good-looking, sharp-dressing, beloved by Karl Lagerfeld boyfriend Joshua Jackson also happens to be a wizard with the scissors.
