Check out Rachel Zoe, who looks all covered up in white from head to toe.

These photos were taken in September 2011 while the stylist/designer attended the Christian Dior show during Paris Fashion Week.
I don’t think I could pull off such an outfit without looking like a priestess or a nun, but she made it work for her:
Captured in elegance, Rachel Zoe attends the Christian Dior show during Paris Fashion Week, showcasing the power of a white maxi skirt and her unparalleled sense of style
Rachel Zoe is known for her sophisticated, all-white ensembles, often featuring a bohemian twist. At the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s ‘Super Saturday’ event in July 2015, she wore a white strapless dress with a flowing silhouette, adding a vintage feel reminiscent of the 1970s.
To give it her signature boho-glam touch, Rachel paired the dress with layered jewelry and styled her hair in loose waves, perfectly embodying modern elegance with a hint of retro charm. This look offers a fresh, breezy alternative to the structured maxi skirts and black accessories she often favors, showing the versatility of her signature style.

It’s a simple top and maxi skirt combo from Dior, but she gave it life by using black accessories. For a chic fall look, take a cue from Rachel by adding black or dark-colored accessories to an all-white ensemble.
If you wish to copy Rachel’s style, you will need a decent white maxi skirt—preferably one made of silk or chiffon that falls nicely. However, if you’re on a budget, a good jersey maxi may do as long as it is cut right.
In April 2024, Naomi Watts also showed how a monochromatic white ensemble can be elegantly enhanced with dark accessories. At the Dior Pre-Fall show, she wore a chic white midi dress complemented by black and gold accents, including a black Dior ‘Jolie’ bag and black-and-gold fishnet sandals.
This contrast between white and dark tones not only elevated the outfit’s sophistication but also added visual interest, offering a modern, approachable way to wear white without it feeling overly pristine. Naomi’s ensemble provides a fresh, contemporary twist for those seeking inspiration beyond Rachel Zoe’s style.
