Zendaya

Zendaya stunned in a white Louis Vuitton dress that featured a chic high halter neckline with a string trailing down her back. A hint of side-boob and a floor-length skirt elevated the piece.

The back was entirely open, adding a bold touch to the minimalist design.

She punched up the look with dazzling Bulgari jewelry, while her dark hair was slicked back into a sleek ponytail.

A dewy makeup look completed her glamorous appearance.

The Dune star proved that she doesn't always need a wild costume to shut down the red carpet, a simple white dress can do the trick too!

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain opted for a Gucci gown with a gold collar, textured fabric, and a completely open back.

She paired the white dress with gold platform shoes and delicate silver jewelry.

The Mothers' Instinct alum styled her auburn hair down in a middle part, and she rocked a glossy lip for a plump pout.

Although temperatures are dropping, celebs are determined to continue the backless halter neck trend despite the colder months!
