Chic Wedding Guests Are Suddenly Wearing This Potentially Rule-Breaking Color
Generally speaking, I don't believe in fashion rules. Clothes are supposed to be fun no matter your age or body type. However, there's one specific instance in which I do trust traditional fashion commandments: weddings. It's probably never a good idea to wear white to attend a wedding, because you don't want to compete with the couple. But what about white-adjacent colors? Well, that's where it gets murky.
Attending the wedding of model Mariacarla Boscono in Italy last weekend, former Vogue France Editor in Chief Carine Roitfeld wore a gray dress so light that it almost looked white. Similarly, Amelia Morales wore a light gray dress that could easily be mistaken for white while attending the wedding of Princess Theodora of Greece last month. Neither dress is explicitly white, so do they break the rule, or are they safe to wear? I'll let you be the judge of that.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
