Mendel gown with a strapless V-cut bodice for the event, while FLOTUS opted for a tailored white Resort '13 J. Mendel jacket embroidered with silver and a white pleated skirt.

On the party circuit, Florence Welch attended Love magazine's Christmas party on Tuesday in London in sheer black lace pants and a capelike top from Marios Schwab's Spring '14 runway. Miley Cyrus took to the red carpet on Friday evening for New York's Jingle Ball concert, pairing a Spring '14 MM6 Maison Martin Margiela sleeveless tuxedo blouse with Maison Martin Margiela Fall '13 black high-waisted pants with yellow stripes painted down the sides.

While most businesses are closed on Christmas Day, it has become tradition for a handful of blockbusters to hit theaters. (What better way to entertain yourself after opening that sweater from Grandma?) Among this year's buzzed-about December 25 releases is August: Osage County, starring A-listers Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. The duo posed on the red carpet together during Monday's L.A. premiere, with Roberts in a tuxedo-inspired Givenchy ensemble and Streep sporting a white knee-length Gucci wool frock.
