Is white the official gown color of the year? From the stunning red carpet appearances we’ve witnessed these past few weeks, it certainly seems so.
Despite being only in the early days of February, we’ve already seen many white dresses that could last us a lifetime. Now, it’s time for a round-up. Who do you think wore this color best, and who needs to reconsider their fashion stylist? Let us know your thoughts!
1. Rosamund Pike in Valentino

“The thing that was usual about this morning is that usually I’m awakened by somebody who wants food,” Rosamund told TheWrap right after getting the nomination for Best Actress for her work in Gone Girl.
“This time it was by somebody delivering amazing news.”
“It was delicious chaos,” she added. “Me and the two boys in the bed talking to people on the phone. I shift from talking about nominations to talking about dinosaurs.”

7. Jessica Chastain in Antonio Berardi
The 37-year-old donned an intricate, Oriental-inspired gown from Antonio Berardi. The gown has the right mixture of conservative and glam but without being too boring.
“Today is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday so it got me thinking about our need to build the strength of diversity in our industry and to stand together against homophobic, sexiest, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, and racist agendas,” Jessica said on stage while accepting the Critics’ Choice MVP Award.

“I’m an optimist and I can’t help but feel hopeful about the future of film, especially looking at all these beautiful people in this room. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter’ and I would like to encourage everyone in this room to please speak up.”
8. Paula Patton in Aiisha Ramadan
According to many, this gorgeously-beaded Aiisha Ramadan gown is one of Paula’s best red carpet choices.
