Minimalism.There aren't any bells and whistles here. Stars stuck to a simpler style, proving that 'less is more' still holds true. Taylor Schilling lit up in an ivory Thakoon dress with a sexy front split, Rose Bryne bared her midriff in a petal silk crepe Calvin Klein Collection separates and Padma Lakshmi was a vision in Kaufmanfranco.

Pastels. Instead of bolds and brights, many took a softer route and opted for pretty pastels. Kerry Washington channeled her Scandal character Olivia Pope in a light flowy Marchesa dress, Julie Bowen accentuated her figure in Zac Posen and Julianne Hough showed off lean legs in a sheer Jenny Packham.
