Dressing head to toe in winter white perfectly captures the magic and joy of the holiday season. And let’s be honest—this color looks TF good on melanin skin, too. Whether reflecting the twinkling lights we hang from our homes, the fresh snow blanketing the ground, or the stars sparkling in the night sky, white is the ultimate hue to shine in.

No one understands this better than Danielle Brooks.

The Color Purple star recently stole the spotlight in a stunning ivory corset dress adorned with romantic floral appliqués. Danielle turned heads at the Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment breakfast gala on December 4, redefining breakfast attire in the most glamorous way.

Danielle Brooks Just Made Winter White Corsets The Trend of the Season With The Hollywood Reporter

Styled by Danielle Hawkins, Danielle looked sexy and sophisticated in a body-hugging satin corset gown from Wiederhoeft. The strapless dress featured exposed boning, a dramatic rose bow on the back, a lace-up corset detail, and a fitted, tapered white skirt.

If that wasn’t enough, the gown was elevated with stunning floral appliqués along the neckline and shoulders. Danielle completed the look with silver pumps, proving that even the smallest details can deliver maximum impact.

To take the romantic vibes to the next level, she added sheer white gloves—a simple yet chic accessory. The gloves gave a nod to classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s fashion while staying on trend.

Her beauty look was equally flawless. Danielle kept it simple to let the dress shine, styling her hair into a sleek braided ponytail with perfectly swooped baby hairs. Her makeup was natural and dewy, finished with a glossy nude lip for a touch of understated glam.
