Ever since she burst on to our screens in Muriel's Wedding back in the mid-90s, Toni Collette has proved she's one to watch when it comes to effortless, elegant style. And her recent look is one we're banking for this unpredictable weather.
Attending a photocall for her new movie Mickey 17 at the 75th Berlinale International Film Festival, Toni looked lovely in an elegant white maxi dress, which she teamed with black blazer and boots to create a timeless look. Not only is the extra coverage from the blazer, long dress and boots a great way to stay warm in the chilly weather, her outfit offers great inspiration for styling a white dress.
The recent sunshine really got us thinking about our spring capsule wardrobe, but the the temperature has yet to catch up with the rapidly approaching new season. Toni's outfit keeps things cool, comfortable and very 'spring' with the white dress - the blazer and boots add a layer of warmth and timeless style.

You can't beat a white dress for spring and summer - it works for so many occasions. The embroidered detail on the bottom of the dress, sleeves and notch neck detail elevates the piece, and the loose, flattering fit will keep you cool and comfortable.
A classic wardrobe staple, this timeless black blazer from Nobody's Child is a bargain the sale right now - and perfect to team with a white dress for added style and warmth. We also love the styling here – a simple white tee and jeans is effortlessly chic.
It's not hard to see why these Dune London suede block heel boots are selling fast right now, bringing two hot fashion trends - suede and knee boots - together. They have rave reviews on the M&S website, with many buyers commenting on how (surprisingly) comfortable and stylish they are.
You probably know AllSaints for leather jackets and boots, but their dresses are always well worth checking out. The shirred bodice of this style will fit to your figure perfectly.
H&M does such great tailoring and the double breasted design of this style will balance out a floaty feminine white dress.
These beauties have been on my wishlist for a while now. There's plenty of time to wear them in summer with a mini dress too!
This look is one of Toni's more timeless styles - clearly a big fan of colour and bold prints, some of the actress' press event looks have been show-stopping glam. But we love how Toni elevated this classic combination to make it event-worthy, finishing her look off with stacked gold necklaces and the most understated but beautiful makeup. Toni added to the 'wow' factor with her beautiful blonde billowing hair tumbling down over her shoulders, and standing out a mile against her highly contrasting black blazer.
If you were thinking knee boots don't work with skirts or dresses, Toni's outfit proves otherwise. However there are so many other shoe types this look would also work with, from a pair of the best white trainers and flip flops, to heels and espadrilles. Whatever shoes you want to pair a white dress or skirt with – it all works!
