Can You Wear a White Dress to a Wedding? Here’s the Answer

Controversial statement: You can actually get away with wearing a white dress to a wedding, with caveats. It appears that Kirsten Dunst, for one, is on board. Over the weekend, Dunst attended the wedding of her longtime friend (and former assistant), stylist Liat Baruch. For the occasion, she wore what was technically a white dress. As we all know, the number one wedding guest outfit faux pas is wearing white, but Dunst just proved that you can get away with it—if it's the type of white dress she just wore.

The dress in question is a printed white dress. Personally, I'd go for one with a relatively bold and colorful print, as Dunst did, that couldn't be mistaken for a dress a bride would get married in in the least. Dunst opted for a ruffled Rodarte dress with pretty yellow flowers. (It's worth noting that she also wore the dress to the 25th anniversary celebration of The Virgin Suicides a couple of weeks ago, which is when the second photo below was taken.)
