Labor Day Fashion

It’s Labor Day, and white is now officially a wardrobe no-go. But for those few precious months between Memorial Day and today, who rocked the color the hardest?

It’s Labor Day, and white is now officially a wardrobe no-go. But for those few precious months between Memorial Day and today, who rocked the color the hardest? From Anne Hathaway’s plunging Dark Knight Rises premiere gown to Jessica Biel’s too-tight-to-walk-in ensemble, see stars who flaunted (or flunked) their outfits in white.

Anne Hathaway looked like the anti-Catwoman in an all-white Prabal Gurung gown with a plunging neckline at the New York premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in July.

Marion Cotillard also donned white at the New York premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, with a sweet and feminine Dior tutu that counterbalanced Hathaway’s dramatic look.

Jessica Biel’s slightly perplexing Giambattista Valli ensemble looked pretty enough, but was apparently too tight for her to walk in. The actress changed halfway through the August London premiere of her latest film, Total Recall, and opted instead for a looser green gown.

If anyone can pull off both a dangerously low neckline and a mighty high leg slit, it’s Jennifer Aniston, looking elegant at the 40th AFI Life Achievement Awards in June.

On the flip side of the Jennifer coin, there’s Lopez, who rocked the color white like it was its last day on earth during a concert performance at Los Angeles’s Staples Center this month.

We understand what Carly Rae Jepsen was trying to do—there are only so many ways to make a tennis outfit look cute—but somewhere between the too-tight dress and the little-girl headband, we think something was lost in translation.

Olympic gymnast and Fab Five member Aly Raisman also showed up in white to the premiere of Bachelorette, though she was definitely the only one wearing a solid-gold medal around her neck.

We get it: Lea Michele is not just a Glee dork. She’s 26 years old and can dress like a grown-up—though we’re not sure even most grown-ups should be allowed to wear so little fabric on the front of a dress, like Michele did at the Do Something Awards in August.
