Although the little black dress may be a sartorial staple, the little white dress is a preferable choice for the balmy weather of late August. Whether you’re on your way to brunch with your girlfriends or stepping out in your finery for a weekend date night, try drawing your cues from our favourite Hollywood bombshells. From Jamie Chung to Rita Ora, here are a few stunning examples of how to rock the season’s essential ivory frock.

Jamie Chung

The 33-year-old actress looks absolutely gorgeous in this white off-the-shoulder number, which features delicate long sleeves and a flirty tiered hem. For a contrasting effect, Chung accessorizes the lightweight dress with flat cobalt blue embellished sandals and a dark blue mini handbag.

Rita Ora

We are loving the 25-year-old songstress’ approach to Summer 2016’s essential white dress. Ora’s schoolgirl inspired collared dress makes a splash with its puffed long sleeves, airy short skirt and high collar. Meanwhile, the oversized black bow brings a playful finishing touch to the overall design. The recently titled America’s Next Top Model host steals the spotlight with her black strappy sandals, which emphasize her shapely legs.

Heidi Klum

The 43-year-old German model is a stylish and ageless sight in this lightweight white sleeveless dress. The thigh-high slit offers a peek of skin, while the high neckline keeps the style looking comfortable and modest. Klum contrasts the floaty white number with a black leather jacket, textured snakeskin handbag and neutral flat sandals.
