"There were a ton of white dresses photographed last week, and, no, it wasn&amp;#x27;t because of wedding season; white dresses are MAJOR for summer. But how do you wear one&amp;amp;#8212;especially a floor-length gown&amp;amp;#8212;without looking like you&amp;#x27;re about to say &amp;quot;I do?&amp;quot; Look no further than these style stars and their styling tricks. (Just one thing: This doesn&amp;#x27;t mean you should wear white to a wedding as a guest. Don&amp;#x27;t go there.) Look for strong architectural details: Cannes red carpet star Marion Cotillard made her final festival appearance in a long-sleeve, ruffled Christian Dior dress. While long sleeves are a wedding Do thanks to Kate Middleton, the sharp-angled corset layer along the bodice is what makes this snow-white gown decidedly non-wedding-esque. A geometric statement necklace could do the trick to edge up a simple white dress too. Go with a modern texture: Hey there again, Marion. Short wedding dresses are a thing now, so just because it&amp;#x27;s a mini doesn&amp;#x27;t mean it&amp;#x27;s not wedding-appropriate. However, the mixed media on this Alexander McQueen design gives a tougher feel to the dress, while Marion&amp;#x27;s choice of a rounded closed-toe heel (hers are Louboutin, in case you&amp;#x27;re wondering) also gives the look a less formal feel. Choose the right accessory mix: Speaking of short, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley&amp;#x27;s Christian Dior high-low hemmed one would actually look kind of amazing as a destination-wedding dress. BUT, her choice of no jewelry and white-hot stilettos give the entire look more of a &amp;quot;hey, let&amp;#x27;s party&amp;quot; vibe. Skip the lace: Erin Heatherton hit a Roberto Cavalli yacht party in hot-white Cavalli, like a good supermodel guest would. By going with a less dainty laser-cut embroidered pattern, as opposed to lovely lace, her long dress looks more tropical yacht-party-ready than wedding. Cut it out: Another option is to go all-out sexy time with some racy cutouts, like on Doutzen Kroes&amp;#x27; Calvin Klein creation. Need a closer inspection? Here you go. The shock of exposed skin is a cool contrast to any preciousness of an all-white dress&amp;amp;#8212;plus, that up-to-here back-slit doesn&amp;#x27;t hurt either. Jump in with a triple threat: When all else fails, go with a threesome of risky trends in one eye-catching white dress: crotch-skimming hemline, sheer panels, and feathers. Yes, a train of feathers. Kudos to Paz Vega in St&amp;amp;#233;phane Rolland for pushing the envelope. Not all of us would be so brave. Would you wear an all-white dress? How would you make it look non-wedding-dress-like?
