Not-so-Basic Black: Olivia Wilde's Best LBD Moments

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 06:00:02 PST

Birthday girl Olivia Wilde is undoubtedly one of our favorite style setters - the actress, producer, and philanthropist isn't one to shy away from dramatic dresses on the red carpet (remember the stunning Marchesa gown she wore to the 2011 Golden Globes?) - but she also seems to have a soft spot for the classic, quintessential little black dress. When it comes to dressing up her LBD, Olivia isn't afraid to take risks with cutouts, open backs, or shorter hemlines, but looks just as comfortable keeping things sleek and sophisticated in a full-length gown or ladylike pencil dress. In honor of Olivia's 28th birthday today, we're celebrating with a look at her captivating little black dress looks over the years; click through to see them all now!

Trend Alert: The Demure LBD

Hannah Weil — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 07:00:04 PST

Catch a glimpse of Zoe Saldana, and it's not hard to see why we're loving the demure LBD. The look is totally in tune with the ladylike craze but with a sexier body-con fit. The longer hemline leaves a little more to the imagination, while a sleek silhouette hugs in all the right places. It's a demure alternative but hardly a diminutive style statement.

Carine Roitfeld's New Favorite LBD of the Moment - Balmain!

FabSugar — Fri, 28 May 2010 04:00:06 PDT

It's no biggie when you and I repeat an outfit head to toe. But when the editor of Vogue Paris Carine Roitfeld does it, it's worth mentioning. It's by no means a fashion crime - remember when Victoria Beckham re-outfitted her favorite gray look in '07? - in fact, it's quite refreshing. She's found an ensemble she adores and she's sticking with it! The first time Carine wore her favorite Balmain Fall '10 LBD was at the Cannes Film Festival last week. And then she wore it again, in the same exact way with Alaia lace-up sandals and a gold necklace, at Louis Vuitton's London store opening this week. She has inspired me to take an outfit I love each season, and make it my signature. Has she inspired you, too?

Celeb Style: Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis's smile can light up a room. The actress did just that at the Writers Guild Awards over the weekend. Unlike her smile, she opted to keep her style dim in a LBD. This isn't any old black dress; the large keyhole makes it super sexy, while the modest hemline keeps her classy. Black pumps and a black clutch complete her clean but fabulous all-black ensemble.
