Who said wearing a dreamy white gown was strictly reserved for saying “I do”? Not Victoria Beckham and Ayo Edebiri, that’s for sure. In recent months, silky white dresses in all forms have made their way into the wardrobes of those most stylish, with the most recent being The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri on the red carpet of the 69th BFI London Film Festival.
For the celebratory occasion, Ayo called on Chanel to dress her for the evening.

Simple, yet overly elegant, the gown fitted the 30-year-old Hollywood heavyweight like a glove.

A pair of dazzling diamond earrings designed to look like a bird cage completed the look, the star of the show being the tiny yellow bird sitting pretty on a diamond-encrusted perch.
When it comes to silky white dresses, Victoria Beckham walked so Ayo could run.
The former Spice Girl turned fashion mogul is known in the industry for her love of sleek tailoring and effortless draping, but in recent months, she’s become overly fond of floaty silk moments in bright white shades.

Traditionally, white gowns are reserved for nuptial occasions, however, as VB and Ayo have so effortlessly proved, they also make ultra-chic red carpet ensembles.

The new silver screen flick, which hit cinemas earlier this week follows a college professor who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroad when a student makes an accusation against one of her work friends, threatening to expose a dark secret from her own past.
