Charlize Theron continued the white streak with her dramatic Dior couture gown, which had a plunging neckline, a thigh high split, a flowing train and an oversized bow detail around her waist.
Salma Hayek also went for a darker hue as she poured her figure into a strapless black Gucci gown.
Jolie and Theron were not the only ones in white - actresses Kate Beckinsale, Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet were among those showing off the trend.

Winslet, who took home the Best Actress in a Mini-series trophy for Mildred Pierce, turned out in a black and white Jenny Packham gown.
