Shimmering white was the color of choice for some of the best party outfits this week, hinting at all the red-carpet holiday trends to come. Solange wore the most striking look — a gleaming white-velvet dress with silver heels. Rihanna paired white diamonds with athleisure. Dascha Polanco posed next to her in snow-white fur.

Elsewhere, others chose white too: Katy Perry’s gown at UNICEF’s annual Snowflake Ball looked like an actual snowflake. Kate McKinnon wore a black-and-white column dress to the American Museum of Natural History’s gala, where she met up with SNL alums Tina Fey, Leslie Jones, and Kristen Wiig.
