Kelly Rutherford takes a breather from custody battle to dazzle in white low-cut number at Son Jung Wan show for NYFW

Kelly Rutherford may be having a frustrating custody fight over her two children, but the actress can still light up a room.

The former Melrose Place darling, 46, attended the Son Jung Wan fashion show in New York on Saturday, looking perky and confident.

The show is of course a part of the ongoing New York Fashion Week.

Break the rules in a white dress this fall like Kelly

Kelly Rutherford deserves to put her custody battle on the back burner for once. All smiles, the actress attended the Son Jung Wan show on Saturday in a white frock by the designer.

This dress does not hail from the designer's collections -- so no doubt it was made especially for Kelly.

We love the stark white color -- yes, even after Labor Day -- and the crisscross shoulders and, best of all, the frayed hem. Unfinished edges, seams, exposed zippers and ribbon worn on the outside instead of inside are all edgy details that keep fashion unpredictable. Ironically, those are the details that differentiate the high-end from high street.

Sadly, of course, you can't have Kelly's white dress, but if you click right, you can check out other pieces from the designer's collections.

She also opted for a simple pair of pointed white pumps and a large white clutch to complete the outfit. 

Her makeup and slicked back blonde tresses also reflected the simple but elegant style choice, the rouge lipstick being the one element of color in the ensemble. 

After observing the show from the front row, Rutherford was delighted to congratulate Son Jung Wan personally backstage.
