Classic, chic and iconic, the little black dress is often the pièce de résistance of any fashionable woman’s wardrobe and every designer worth preserving has a variation of opaque elegance in their creative arsenal.
Kate Hudson stole the show last night in a black strapless Micheal Kors creation at the premiere of her new film Wish I Was Here in New York.
The sequined bustier flattered Kate’s athletic shape and the midriff cut out added some extra sexiness to an already smouldering outfit.
But Kate’s not the only celeb rocking up on the red carpet in goth-glam. See the LBD’s worn by stars recently that have been inspiring all sorts of different takes on an obviously chic choice.
