Carla Bruni has struck the whole the world with her amazing transformation from model into the leading Lady of France. You've probably noticed she's switched out her platforms for flats; but that doesn't mean Carla's compromised her style. This First Lady of France has an elegance and grace that demands attention, even from the Queen herself!

Happy Hour: Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio

I've always considered wine to be incredibly fashionable, but until I received a bottle (or two) of Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio, I didn't realize just how stylish a glass of white wine could be. With its fabulous name and fun bottle design, this Pinot Grigio was crisp, refreshing, and delightful. Like a classic little black dress, you could keep this wine as your secret weapon. Unexpected guests? No fear - you have a bottle of chilled LBD Pinot. Invited to a last minute girls' night in? Grab your LBD Pinot and call a cab. This fruity Pinot Grigio will pair nicely with most typical "white wine" dishes like seafood, spicy Asian foods, and fresh pastas. High fashion doesn't always have a huge price tag and this bottle retails for only $8.99 making it an excellent choice - you could get five bottles under 50 - for your next dinner party.

Gwen Looks Gorgeous Among The Gowns and Guys in NYC

PopSugarUK — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:30:56 -0700

New York was host to the Fashion International 26th Annual Night of Stars last night, where a number of celebs dressed up to walk the red carpet. Gwen Stefani looked stunning in her black dress, ditching the red lips for a night and going with nude makeup that really softened her look, Evan Rachel Wood looked great in her floor length red dress, while Eva Mendes looked a little more casual in a shorter dress with pockets - she then went on to another event in the city and FabUK wants to know if you love or hate her look. Dita von Teese looked groomed to perfection as always in her black dress, while Mark Ronson, Alex Greenwald and James Franco were among the men suiting up for the occasion. How glamorous!

Fab Worthy: Alexander McQueen Little Black Dress

FabSugarUK — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:00:24 -0700

Last week I told you about Alexander McQueen's plans to sell a collection straight off the runway on net-a-porter.com. The show took place last night at 5pm and the items are now available to buy.

These included a gorgeous androgynous white pinstripe jumpsuit and this amazing little black dress (£995). Obviously the dress was subject to McQueen's amazing creativity by way of quirky details. The satin dress has an asymmetric hem and shoulder straps and is perfect for the party season.

It's a great investment piece as every wardrobe should have a little black dress. Team with killer heels for the biggest impact.
