"Maybe the relentless return of 80s fashion fever has women pining for the Miami Vice days. How else could we explain the white pantsuits we&amp;#x27;ve spotted on everyone in Hollywood from Rihanna to Annette Benning? Malin Ackerman, AKA my favorite new style star, recently wore the white suit in a surprisingly feminine way. Her pants are slim through the leg, while the bustier top underneath lends the look some sex appeal--but the concept still has that tomboy-ish feel that makes the classic look so chic. Almost 70% of you thought Rihanna&amp;#x27;s white suit was a Do, and I have to agree. I think the key here--aside from the outrageously sexy leopard top and red lip--is the fit. It&amp;#x27;s slouchy and easy, not stuffy or buttoned up. I&amp;#x27;d easily wear this to a cocktail party to stand out in the sea of LBDs. Annette Bening is absolutely beautiful and probably from Rihanna&amp;#x27;s mother&amp;#x27;s generation. But the white suit knows no age limits, and she pulls it off in a sophisticated and totally appropriate way, with a vest underneath that shows just enough skin. And then we&amp;#x27;ve got Vivica Fox, a self-professed &amp;quot;cougar,&amp;quot; who proves again that the look isn&amp;#x27;t limited to young women or to the daylight hours. This version (minus the slightly-overdone cleavage!) is a great alternative to a gown. The satin lapels, nipped-waist jacket, and bold accessories all make it elegant and evening-ready. Not ready to take the plunge with the full white pantsuit yet? Try out a structured white jacket with a pair of skinny jeans, or wear your tailored white pants with a pretty patterned top. Once you feel comfortable wearing one piece at a time, the head-to-toe thing won&amp;#x27;t feel as funny to you. Do any of you dolls own a white suit? How do you wear yours? Is this a look you&amp;#x27;d be willing to try? Shop some of my favorites now: Add glamour.com to your Google homepage Follow Slaves to Fashion on Twitter!
