The White Council is the group of Istari (that is, fashion models) who decide what clothing, jewelry, and hair styles are *in* this age. It was the former head of the Council, Saruman, who suggested the extremely tacky gold rings to the Black Riders. This horrible choice (it *so* did not go with their outfits) led him to be kicked from the council. Gandalf is now head of the council.
