Rihanna and Kim Kardashian Agree: This Is the It Color of the Week

Rihanna and Kim Kardashian West seem to be on the same wavelength this week, as both women stepped out in New York wearing a very timely color on the same night. Timely, you ask? Since the great "white after Labor Day" debate will seemingly never die, you may notice a surge in white outfits this week, given the last of the stigma-free days of summer.

Post-VMAs, Rihanna wore a belted white shirtdress and tasseled heels while out on the town with Drake. Kim Kardashian West, out on a dinner date with Kanye, wore a white tee and shorts, a duster coat, and naked sandals. Both looked undeniably chic in what could be their last summer white pre–Labor Day outfits of the year. We have a feeling many others will be following their lead and wearing white this week.
