It was an all white affair Sunday night at the 2014 American Music Awards when a slew of celebs showed up in achromatic attire, proving that wearing white after Labor Day isn't just okay — it's encouraged. These ultra-stylish stars ditched the usual black and bright, bold colors for this refreshing, palette-cleansing trend, keeping things simple, yet super chic. From long, flowing gowns to cropped mini dresses, these stars' outfits ran the gamut as far as style and cuts were concerned. But no matter how high the slit or short the skirt, we were into their colorless costumes. Here are five of our favorite ivory ensembles from last night, all of which we are definitely drawing inspiration from for our upcoming holiday parties.
Nicole Richie
The mother of two showed up in a slim cut-out gown that left little to the imagination. The back of Richie's dress sat low on her back, showing off her super-slim physique, as well as a couple of her tattoos. Richie kept her jewelry game simple with a chunky gold necklace and earrings, which complimented her bronzed body and shimmery smoky eye.
Zendaya Coleman
Much like her former Disney stars, Zendaya Coleman has been demonstrating she isn't just a little girl with her recent high-fashion choices, including this off-the-shoulder asymmetrical top from the Donna Karan resort collection. We love her sleek, straight hair and all silver accents.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera chose a body-hugging white gown featuring midriff cut-outs and a super-high slit. (If you spent hours in the gym getting your body to look like that, you probably would have, too.)
Miley Cyrus
We never know what to expect from Miley Cyrus, but we were pleasantly surprised with her simple, yet almost-demure ensemble (see: side boob). The newly turned 21-year-old opted for a classic Versace suit, telling sister and Life & Style reporter Brandi Cyrus that she thinks "everyone uses award shows sometimes as pageants rather than showing up and just being, so I think it's important for women to see women who don't show up in gowns every time and a full face." However, Miley Cyrus would later strip down to a kitten bathing suit for her performance on the show. As you do.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner showed off her long and lean body in a tiny white mini dress featuring chic cut-outs and an asymmetrical hemline. Yet our favorite part of her look had nothing to do with her dress but everything to do with her statement necklace, a stunning silver studded piece that elevated her look.
