Monochromatic dressing sounds easier than it actually is. Though stars such as Kim Kardashian West and Victoria Beckham have made wearing one color from head to toe seem like an effortless decision, each look involves a great deal of forethought. After all, throwing together an ensemble using only one shade—and then making it visually interesting and not bland—requires advanced planning.
Today, Selena Gomez proved she’s got that particular skill set, as well. The singer slash actress touched down at the airport in Nice, France, wearing all-white. (She’s at the Cannes Film Festival for her new zombie film, The Dead Don’t Die.) Her secret? It’s in the strategic layering.

Gomez subtly alternated both textures and shades of white. She started with a ribbed gray-white top and trousers, then added a chunkier ivory sweater on top. Then, her pointy boots, in stark white leather, added a dash of refinement. (Her retro sunglasses, meanwhile, were a cool accent, too.) So, the next time you’re feeling a particular shade? Go ahead and wear it all over; just be sure to switch up the fabrics and tones to give it some fashion-forward depth. Variety is key!
